Welcome to ParentData

You can ask Dewey, ParentData’s AI librarian, a question at any time. Dewey creates answers based on the universe of content on ParentData and Emily Oster’s best-selling books, along with links to relevant articles. If Dewey does not have an answer, it will let our team know so we can consider the topic for the future. If you’d like to submit a question directly to Emily or our other contributors, you can do so here.

It’s easy to change your subscription from your Account page. First, make sure you are logged in to your ParentData account.

If you downgrade your plan, your remaining balance will be distributed to your next payment(s). Cancel: This option will downgrade you to a free subscription from a paid subscription. Your plan will remain active until the end of your billing cycle; then you will transition to a free plan. Update billing info: Change your billing information or switch to an annual or monthly billing plan.

To change the card that’s on file, you can go to your Account page to manage payment information.
