Looking for a Lillio alternative?
Lillio — the app many providers still know as HiMama — helped define daily reports and parent communication for early education. If you want that plus attendance, billing records, and program management in one place, with pricing you can see up front, here's how Wylari compares.
Wylari and Lillio, side by side
| Wylari | Lillio (formerly HiMama) | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | In-home daycares and small centers | Child care centers and preschools, parent-engagement first |
| Pricing | Published flat plans, $12.99–$32.99/month — no per-child fees | Not published — quoted through sales |
| Trying it | 30-day free trial, no credit card, no sales call | Demo-first sales process |
| Tuition & payments | Records payments and issues receipts & year-end statements — parents keep paying the way they already do (no in-app payment processing) | Yes — parent billing through the platform |
Which one fits your program?
Both are good products. The right choice depends on what you run — here's the honest split.
When Lillio is likely the better fit
- Your program lives and breathes rich daily reports and family engagement and you want the product that pioneered that category.
- You want built-in professional development content for a teaching staff.
- You run a center or preschool with classroom structure at its core.
When Wylari is likely the better fit
- You want daily updates and photos plus attendance, waitlist, billing records, meal planning, documents, and staff access — one app, one price.
- You're a home provider or small center that doesn't need classroom-scale structure.
- You want published flat pricing and a free trial you can start tonight without a call.
