Stamkort alternative: Minly vs Stamkort
Stamkort is a solid product from another era. Minly is built for 2025 — with waitlist management, pedagogical documentation, and full pricing transparency from day one.
Stamkort (now part of Alia Børneintranet) is a stable legacy system with no waitlist, no pedagogical documentation, and no public pricing. Minly is built from the ground up in 2024-2025: modern UI, transparent monthly pricing from 499 DKK, and waitlist management built in. For institutions that have been waiting for a Stamkort modernization that never came: it is not coming. Switching to Minly typically takes a week.
Have you been waiting years for Stamkort to feel modern? That is not on you — it is on the product.
Stamkort / Alia Børneintranet has been a fixture of municipal daycare infrastructure for many years. It is stable, widely adopted, and familiar. But stable and stagnant are two sides of the same coin — and many institutions find that the interface has not kept pace with what staff and parents expect today.
Minly is Danish kindergarten software built from scratch in 2024–2025 with a mobile-first approach and an interface new staff can navigate without training. Waitlist management with auto-prioritisation, attendance tracking, parent communication, staff calendar, and group management are all in one place — with transparent monthly pricing and a 3-month free trial.
What is Stamkort?
Stamkort — now part of Alia Børneintranet — is a digital system for child records management, check-in/check-out registration, and parent communication. It is used by more than 1,000 institutions across 26 municipalities and is also available as a KMD integration within municipal IT environments. It is one of the most widely deployed solutions in the municipal daycare sector.
The product covers the basics: digital child records, attendance registration, group messaging, and monthly plan sharing as PDF. For municipalities looking for a stable operational vendor with a track record in public procurement, Stamkort is a familiar choice. But for institutions that want a more contemporary user experience, automated waitlist handling, and full pricing clarity, there are important differences worth understanding.
Where Stamkort genuinely excels
- Broad municipal adoption — more than 1,000 institutions already know the system
- KMD integration and existing municipal IT agreements
- Encrypted and established with a documented track record of operational stability

Why institutions are switching from Stamkort to Minly
An interface your staff will actually use
A new educator starting on Monday should not spend two days learning a system. Minly is built on the premise that intuitive design is not a luxury — it is a prerequisite for the software to genuinely contribute to daily operations. Comparisons with Stamkort consistently come back to the time staff spend navigating a visually and structurally outdated interface instead of using it.
Waitlist management is not an add-on — it is the core
For many kindergartens and nurseries, the waitlist is the single most important administrative tool. Minly delivers auto-prioritisation, parent notifications, and a real-time overview as an integrated part of the platform — not something sourced from a separate vendor or managed in a spreadsheet. Stamkort has no waitlist component. That gap is felt every single day at institutions with more applicants than places.
You know exactly what you pay — from day one
Stamkort publishes no pricing. That means negotiations, quotes, and a contract you may not be allowed to share. Minly costs DKK 499/month for Starter and DKK 999/month for Pro — publicly, with no asterisks. Budget holders know exactly what they are agreeing to, and managers do not need to wait for a sales meeting before deciding whether it makes sense.
Modern Danish daycare software built for 2025
Minly is not a modernised version of an older product. It is written from scratch with modern technology, GDPR considerations embedded in the architecture, and a mobile experience that matches what staff and parents expect. Stamkort is stable — but stable and future-proof are not the same thing. Minly ships updates continuously and shares its roadmap with its users.
Pricing: Stamkort vs Minly
Minly Starter
DKK 499/month
Full access to core features. No hidden fees. Pricing is public and available at minly.dk/pricing — no contact required.
Stamkort / Alia Børneintranet
Available on request only
No public pricing. Quotes are issued per institution and potentially per municipality. A sales conversation is required before you can know the actual cost.
Opaque pricing is not just an inconvenience — it is a signal about how a vendor views its relationship with customers. When you cannot find the price on the website, it is because the price depends on negotiation. Minly believes you should know what something costs before you ever speak to us.
