Question 1

What ages does Brightley support?

Accepted Answer

Brightley supports children ages 0–10. The deepest research coverage is in the 0–5 range (infants, toddlers, preschoolers) where neuroplasticity, attachment, and foundational skill-building have the greatest impact. Ages 5–10 add executive function, school readiness, and emotional regulation.

Question 2

How is Brightley different from a generic activity app?

Accepted Answer

Brightley builds a "Brightness Profile" for each child using Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences framework, then generates weekly plans tuned to that child's strengths. Recommendations are grounded in a source-attributed research library (peer-reviewed studies, child development experts) rather than generic content.

Question 3

Does Brightley protect child privacy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brightley is COPPA-compliant. Child names, dates of birth, and developmental data are classified Tier 1 (never shared) and are not exposed through public APIs, third-party AI assistants, or analytics. See https://brightley.ai/legal/privacy.

Question 4

How much does Brightley cost?

Accepted Answer

Brightley has three tiers: Free ($0), Bright ($16/month), and Bright+ ($29/month). New users get a 14-day Bright+ trial. Annual billing saves about two months on Bright and Bright+.
