Fact checked
FamZoo and Greenlight both allow kids to earn money through chores and receive an allowance. Parents also get flexible controls to manage kids spending. Despite Greenlight‘s basic planning coming at $4.99 for 5 cards and FamZoo‘s at $5.99 for unlimited cards, the biggest difference between the two platforms is that Greenlight comes with extra features for an extra cost/ And unlike FamZoo that offers no card restrictions, Greenlight parents have more control, including limiting ATM cash withdrawals and designating where your kids can shop.

Our Verdict

FamZoo and Greenlight have distinct features that help kids develop good money habits, landing them a spot on our best debit cards for kids list. But Greenlight edges out the competition with its aesthetically-pleasing platform and strong parental controls. Plus you can upgrade to Greenlight + Invest for $7.98 a month to let your kids become little investors. While FamZoo is unique because it allows you to deposit cash to your account at participating retailers, it’ll cost you about $4 per transaction.
