Kids earn Star Bits for completing chores and spend them in a perk shop — screen time, a movie pick, gift bits to a sibling. ChoreStar offers basic points with no spend mechanism.
Pin Family Tasks to a tablet in the kitchen. Kids tap their tasks off without needing their own device or login screen. Great for younger children.
Children can suggest new tasks and propose rewards they'd like — all routed to parents for approval. Keeps kids invested, not just compliant.
Kids earn ranks from Cadet to Imperial Scholar based on their completion rate. It gives them something to work toward beyond just a number going up.
Yes — chore tracking, points, and rewards are free for unlimited kids, no credit card needed for the essentials. Like ChoreStar, the core is free. Unlike ChoreStar, that free core includes a perk shop, a shared family screen, ranks, and kid proposals. An optional Plus plan ($3.99/mo) adds calendar sync, games, reusable checklists, and themes.
No. Family Tasks is a web app — it works on any phone, tablet, or laptop browser. You can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience on iOS and Android.
Kids can use a PIN (4 digits) or a regular password. Parents manage credentials from the family settings page. Younger kids love the PIN option — no keyboard fumbling.
Setup takes about 10 minutes — add your kids, create your task list, and you're running. There's no import from ChoreStar, but since the task list is usually short, rebuilding it is quick.
Free to track your family's chores. Plus is optional. Works on any device. Takes 10 minutes to set up.
