What if it’s not for Mom?

Pick who’s at the centre at the top of the page: Mom, Dad, you, your partner, a friend or someone else. Every prompt changes to match.

Do I need an account?

No. The Circle builder is free and saves on this device as you go. Download your list any time, and we’ll keep a copy for when you join Pearl.

Does anyone get invited?

No one is invited from this page. The person at the centre decides when, who’s in and what each person sees.

Is my list private?

Yes. It stays in this browser until you download it. Then we keep a copy so we can add it to your Circle when you join Pearl, and nobody on your list is contacted. Skip account numbers and passwords.

What does it cost?

Starting a Circle is free, and the person at the centre is always free. Plus is $15 CAD a month, with a 14-day free trial.

Can someone help us set it up?

Yes. A Pearl navigator can help you get started and find local help. It is free, with no account needed.
