Plans

Three ways Pakito grows with your family.

Pakito meets your family where you are. Start free, and add to it as Mom's situation changes. Most families don't begin with everything — they begin with Family, and grow into Home when they want Pakito's presence in Mom's living space, and into Complete when Mom's safety becomes part of the daily conversation.

Pakito, the friendly penguin

Pakito Family

The family on one page.

$0

Free — no time limit. No hardware.

Everyone in your care circle, gathered into one shared space. Notes that sort themselves into health, finance, and home. A family calendar that holds the appointments, reminders, and the small things you'd say to a sibling. No one has to remember what got mentioned in last week's group text — it's already where it belongs.

Most families start here. Many happily stay here while Mom is doing well.

Pakito Complete

The home itself joins the team.

$150 / month

+ server & display rental. From $185/month to start, plus sensors.

Everything in Home, plus the home as a contributor. Privacy-respecting sensors — no cameras, no wearables — let Pakito notice what the family can't always see. Pakito learns what Mom's normal day looks like, and tells the family when it isn't. Stove left on. A 3 a.m. trip from the bedroom that didn't end at the kitchen. A whole day with no activity in the family room. The family hears about it. Mom doesn't have to.

Finding your fit

When do families move between tiers?

Most families start with Pakito Family when Mom is still doing well — they want to get on the same page about her care without overcomplicating it.

They move to Pakito Home when they want Pakito to have presence in Mom's home — when the morning brief, the family photos, and the consolidated surface in her living space become valuable. Often this is the move that happens when the family group text starts to feel inadequate, or when a son three states away wants Mom to know he's thinking of her every day.

They move to Pakito Complete when Mom's safety becomes part of the conversation — when knowing she's been in the kitchen, knowing the stove is off, knowing her day is going the way it usually does, matters as much as staying connected.

You don't have to choose forever. Move up when Mom's situation changes. Move down when the season shifts. Pakito grows with the family.

About the hardware

Pakito Home and Complete both include hardware. We don't make money on the hardware — it's at cost — and we offer two ways to get it.

Rental is how most families start. Your Pakito-display ships pre-configured for $10 a month; the Pakito server (Complete only) is $25 a month. Send it back whenever you're done; we'll refresh it for the next family.

Outright purchase is for families who want to own it. The Pakito-display is $150. The Pakito server is $300. Either way, the hardware is yours to use as long as your subscription is active.

Sensors are sourced by your family. Pakito Complete works with a recommended list of off-the-shelf Z-Wave and Zigbee sensors that any home-technology family admin can install. We don't sell them or rent them — you buy what fits your home, from where you'd buy anything else.

What Pakito asks of your family

Pakito is designed for families with someone willing to be the family admin — a family member comfortable with home technology, who can get the Pakito-display running, set up a small home server, and (for Complete) install a few sensors. About the same comfort level as the person who set up your Ring camera or your home network.

If that's your family, Pakito works beautifully. If you'd rather have someone else install equipment in Mom's home, Pakito may not be the right fit yet.

  • Rental hardware ships pre-configured. We may ask for a refundable deposit on rentals; we'll cover the details when you get in touch.
  • Outright-purchase hardware is yours to keep, but it's designed to work with an active Pakito subscription. Ending your subscription stops Pakito's software service; the hardware itself remains your property.
  • Pakito Complete works with a curated list of compatible sensors. We don't sell or warranty sensor hardware — we'll share the recommended list when you get in touch about Complete.
