Frequently asked questions

What schools coming from LiveKid ask us most.

Does Edena have a digital daily diary for nurseries?
Yes. Each child's meals, naps, photos and activities are logged in seconds and every family sees them instantly in the free app.
What is the difference between Edena and LiveKid?
LiveKid specialises in nurseries. Edena covers that stage and also schools, academies and groups, with VERI*FACTU invoicing, SEPA direct debits, an admissions CRM, automations and AI in the same platform.
How much does Edena cost for a nursery?
From €36 a month, paying per student, with no setup fee and no lock-in. You can try it free for 30 days, with no card. LiveKid publishes a monthly rate per centre and a trial account.
LiveKid already invoices and has AI. What is the difference?
LiveKid invoices, takes payments in the app and has an assistant that drafts messages and activities. Edena does that for ages 0–3 and also publishes its VERI*FACTU declaration, and it still fits if the centre grows into a school, an academy or a group.
Does Edena track staff hours, like LiveKid?
Yes. The team clocks in from a phone and the school keeps the working-time record. LiveKid also publishes staff schedules and clock-in.
If I open a school next year, do I have to change software?
With Edena, no. The same platform covers a nursery, a school, an academy and a group of centres. LiveKid is published for nurseries.
