Per-chore dollar values — Pro
Different chores can be worth different amounts. Take out the trash: $0.50. Mow the lawn: $5. Pet the cat: $0 but still counts toward streaks. You decide.
Chore tracker + allowance
Attach a dollar value to each chore. Watch each kid's balance grow as they complete them. Approve a payout from your phone when it's time. No spreadsheets, no IOUs, no arguments about who did what.
One family account · No credit card · Free forever
Most chore apps stop at the checkbox. The kid checks the box, the parent says 'good job,' and the chore is over. That works for a 5-year-old who's motivated by stickers — and stops working the day a 9-year-old wants actual money.
FamilyDash links chores to real allowance. Set a dollar value per chore (or use the same flat rate everywhere). The system auto-calculates each kid's balance from completed chores, tracks weekly bonuses, and waits for you to mark a payout when you actually hand over cash or send Apple Cash. No spreadsheet, no IOU notes on the fridge.
The chore engine itself is free (rotation, streaks, kid PIN logins, unlimited kids). The allowance ledger is part of FamilyDash Pro — $4.99/month or $34.99/year with a 14-day free trial.
Different chores can be worth different amounts. Take out the trash: $0.50. Mow the lawn: $5. Pet the cat: $0 but still counts toward streaks. You decide.
Each kid's dashboard shows their current owed balance. Updates live as chores complete. No spreadsheet, no manual tally, no end-of-week math.
Set a bonus that unlocks when a kid hits a streak milestone or completes every assigned chore for the week. Add an extra dollar (or dollar fifty) on top of their base earnings.
Money doesn't move until you say it did. When you hand cash or send a transfer, mark the payout in FamilyDash and the balance resets. Full history kept so there's no 'I never got paid for last week.'
Free includes daily / weekly / monthly chores, rotation across kids, streaks, push notifications, and kid PIN logins. Try the full chore experience for free; upgrade to Pro when allowance becomes a thing.
The chore tracker is free forever with unlimited kids, unlimited chores, rotation, streaks, and push notifications. The allowance ledger (per-chore dollar values, weekly bonuses, payout approval) is part of FamilyDash Pro: $4.99/month or $34.99/year, 14-day free trial.
No — and that's by design. FamilyDash tracks what each kid is owed based on completed chores. The actual handoff (cash, Apple Cash, Greenlight, allowance app of your choice) happens when you mark a payout. Kids can't withdraw their balance; they have to ask, and you approve.
Yes — set every chore to $0 and use the weekly bonus instead. The bonus fires when a kid hits the streak target you set (e.g. 'complete every chore Monday–Friday → $5 bonus'). Mixed models work too: $0.25 per chore plus a $3 weekly streak bonus.
Each kid's dashboard shows their balance and a history of completed chores with the dollar value attached. Full transparency — no 'wait, when did I do that?' arguments.
Absolutely. The chore tracker is the free tier. Allowance is one Pro feature among several; you don't have to use it. Lots of families start with the free chore tracker and add Pro later when their kid starts asking about real money.
Free forever for your whole household. Pro from $2.92/mo when you want recipe scanning and Kroger cart sync.
