Pricing
Simple, transparent pricing
Two plans for families – and partner pricing scoped to each program.
For families
Backer Basic or Backer Pro
Unlike financial advisors who charge a percentage of your assets, we think you shouldn’t be penalized for saving more. That’s why you’ll only ever pay a simple, flat fee – no matter how much you save.
Backer Basic is great for most families, but consider Backer Pro if you plan to contribute to multiple 529 accounts.
Backer Pro
$29.99 / year
or $2.99 / month
- Enroll in a top-rated 529 or connect your own
- Open or link unlimited 529 plans
- No platform fees on contributions you make to your fund or other funds
- Priority customer support
The $1.99 platform fee applies in addition to any card processing fees, if applicable. More detail is in the families FAQ.
Both plans include
- 529 investment advice
- Tax-free investment growth
- Easy-to-share gifting pages
- 8%+ projected growth
- Automated contributions and gifts
- iOS and Android mobile apps
For partners
Priced with the program
Backer’s 529 gifting platform runs from fully-hosted to white-label – and everything in between – so partner pricing is scoped with each program rather than published on a page. Start with what the platform does, then talk to us.
