Mobile-first classroom economy

Your classroom economy, right in your pocket.

Moneta is a fast, mobile-first web app. Pay students, run a store, and track balances from your phone — and students can check their balance and check out from theirs. It's the full web, no installs. Works just as well on a tablet or laptop.

Optional · Phone-free mode

No student phones in class? It works without them, too.

The full mobile experience is the default — but you don't need it. For phone-free or device-limited classrooms, run the entire economy from your own device and project the live leaderboard on the board. Students just watch their balances climb, and check out in person with a 5-character passphrase. It's an optional mode, and an important one for many classrooms.

  • Run the whole class from one device — no student logins required.
  • Updates the instant you pay someone — powered by live sync.
  • Students are identified by display name and account number only.

Everything your classroom bank needs

A full economy toolkit — without the spreadsheet.

Class store with QR checkout

Stock rewards with optional limited quantities. Students redeem with a 5-character passphrase — scan, pay, done.

Loans with interest

Approve student loan requests and set the interest rate. Balances accrue automatically on your schedule.

Peer-to-peer transfers

Let students send currency to classmates by account number — great for jobs, fines, and group projects.

Contracts

Promise a payout when a student fulfills a task. Currency lands the moment you mark it complete.

Tune your economy

Name your currency, then dial inflation, balance interest, loan rates, and a max loan amount to match your lesson.

Co-teach together

Invite collaborators to share one class bank, so every teacher pays and manages the same roster.

Questions teachers ask

Is Moneta a mobile app I need to install?

No install needed — Moneta is a mobile-first web app that runs in any modern browser on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Add it to your home screen if you like; it works like an app without the app store.

Do students need phones or accounts?

Only if you want them to. Students can check balances and check out from their own phones, but it's optional: for phone-free classrooms you can run the entire economy from your device with the projector leaderboard, and students just use a 5-character passphrase in person.

Is this real money?

Never. Moneta is a simulated classroom currency you name yourself. It's designed for behavior incentives, classroom jobs, and financial-literacy lessons.

Can I use it for more than one class?

Yes. Each class is its own bank with its own currency, students, and settings. The free tier covers up to 20 students per bank.

How long does setup take?

Minutes. Sign in, name your currency, add your roster (a random passphrase is generated for each student), and start paying. Confetti included.

Give your class an economy worth showing up for.

Free for up to 20 students. No credit card to start.
