Flatastic vs PointUp

Flatastic is a household organizer for families, couples and people in shared flats, available on Android, iOS and the web. Its shared shopping lists support multiple lists, item details, images and suggestions based on frequently bought items. A cleaning schedule includes recurring tasks, reminders, completion tracking and a score system showing household members’ contributions. Expense tracking records household spending and who owes whom, while the pinboard supports updates, household discussions and information sharing. Premium adds expense images and CSV export, chore history and notes, archived budget breakdowns, personal expenses, and expanded shopping-list editing and sorting. The Basic app costs nothing, though ads may be shown. Premium for one costs $1.99 a month; Premium for everyone costs $6.49 a month or $34.99 a year. Each account can belong to only one household at a time, and negative expense amounts cannot be entered directly. The privacy policy says household chores and expenses are shared with household members. Flatastic says app and website backend data is hosted on AWS, with selected storage in the EEA, while some data may be stored outside it.

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.
