MyCoop pricing and features reflect their published plans; confirm current details on their own site before deciding.
Propolis tracks Step Up and FES-EO balances and reimbursement receipts for your families — MyCoop does not cover ESA funding at all.
Beyond co-op ops, families get a statewide directory of tutors, classes, and providers they can message and hire.
Announcements and messaging in Propolis aren't metered, so you never ration emails at the start of a term.
Teachers only see their own sections, students, and assignments, so you can delegate without exposing the full roster.
One monthly price for the whole co-op — no per-family fees and no per-registration fees, same as MyCoop's flat approach.
Propolis came out of running Berean Arrows, so the setup path matches how a real season starts.
MyCoop publishes two flat plans: $49 per month for Starter with 300 communication credits, and $99 per month for Growth with 1,000 credits. Propolis Hive Pro is $75 per month flat. Neither charges per-family or per-registration fees.
MyCoop covers class enrollment and waitlists, family management, a volunteer-hours ledger, attendance, e-signature waivers, Stripe payments, and bulk CSV import, with a 30-day free trial.
Propolis adds Florida scholarship and ESA tracking, reimbursement-ready receipts for families, and a family-facing marketplace of tutors, classes, and providers.
No. Propolis does not use communication credits, so announcements and messaging aren't capped by plan.
No per-family fees. No per-registration fees.
