ChoreTrack vs Family Fair Play

ChoreTrack helps families assign chores, track children’s progress, and connect completed tasks to rewards. Children check off chores to earn points, gold-star check-offs, streaks, and medals. Families choose prizes and set their point costs, so children can see what they are saving toward. On a shared family device, each child can use a PIN view to check their chores, points, and prizes without an account. Parents can require approval for chore check-offs, using a parent PIN on the shared device or one tap on their own phone. Weekly report cards collect each child’s completed chores, points, streaks, and prizes, and can be shared as PDFs. The maker says the app is for children roughly ages 4–14. ChoreTrack runs on iOS and Android. The free plan covers two children, ten chores, one shared device, seven days of activity history, and CSV export. Plus is $5 a month or $50 a year per family, with 30 days free; it adds unlimited kids, chores, and prizes, phone sync, approval notifications, reports, and full activity history. Families can export chores, points, and prizes to CSV on any plan.

Family Fair Play helps households see how their work is divided by measuring physical and mental workload and displaying a Fairness Index. Tasks are scored by time, mental load, criticality, and how easily another person can take them over. Families can choose from more than 150 task templates and agree on a minimum standard for what counts as finished. Parents manage child profiles and can award virtual stars for completed tasks, which children can exchange for family-set rewards. The app supports task assignment, completion tracking, progress history, and reminders. First Look is free forever and covers 20 tasks and four household members. Full Picture costs €1.99 a month or €19.99 a year for the whole family; Forever is €49.99, paid once. Premium supports connecting an AI agent through a remote MCP server, with Claude and ChatGPT named as examples. It is a web app accessible on web, iOS, and Android, can be added to a phone’s home screen, and is not in app stores. Children do not create independent accounts; an adult manages their profiles.
