ChoreTrack vs PointUp

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.

PointUp is a family chore app that turns daily tasks into quests, with children earning XP and Gold toward rewards their parents create. A parent reviews and approves each completed quest before rewards are paid. Families can choose whether photo proof is one-tap, optional or required, and children can spend Gold in a family reward store. PointUp says it is designed for children aged 4 to 16 and includes Focus Mode, Calm Mode, visual timers and step-by-step task breakdowns for neurodiverse children. Quest deadlines can sync with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar. Family data syncs across iOS, Android, Amazon Appstore for Fire tablets and the web. The free plan allows up to five active quests and three family members. Pro costs $3.99 a month and includes unlimited quests and family members, full reward customization, more than 50 templates and Team Quests. Pro includes a 7-day free trial; the pricing page also describes a 14-day trial for families referred by an existing user. Subscribers can cancel from the app. The support contact is listed as [email protected], with typical responses in 48–72 hours.
