Increase your chances of success with this decision matrix app! This app uses a weighted-average formula which calculates results based on your factors and their importance. FAQ: What can I use this app for? - Evaluating job offers - Choosing your next car or house - Deciding on a holiday destination - Business decisions Can I delete unwanted decisions, factors and options? Yes, just swipe from right to left in order to reveal the delete button. What's the difference between weighted and binary factors? Both factors must be given a score of 1-10 for their importance (10 being very important). When adding an option, weighted factors are scored from 0-10 and binary factors are scored as true or false. Both weighted and binary factors contribute to the final score for each option. How does it work? This app uses a decision matrix in order to rank options against weighted factors. This provides an overall score for each option and helps with comparison. Example: You add a factor named 'pay' and set its importance to 8 (high). Company A pays averagely so you score it 5. This gives it a weighted score of 40 (5 x 8). Company B pays well so you score it 9. This gives a weighed score of 72 (9 x 8). This option is the winner. This is a powerful tool when analysing multiple factors and options at once.

PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Should you take the job? Move cities? Sign the lease? When a decision keeps circling in your head, ProsCons gets it out of your head and onto a scale: write down every pro and every con, weight each one from 1 to 5, and watch the totals show which way your own reasoning actually leans. No spinning wheels, no coin flips. ProsCons is a structured decision maker for choices that matter. The scoring is fully transparent — pros minus cons, margin as a share of total weight — and the app shows you the exact formula, so the verdict is arithmetic on your own thinking, never a black box or a guess. WHAT YOU GET • A verdict in plain words — "Clear yes", "Lean toward no", or "Too close to call" when the sides genuinely balance • Weighted pros and cons lists, where one 5-point con about your family outweighs three 1-point perks • Compare mode: score several options against the criteria you choose in a weighted decision matrix — Flat A vs Flat B vs staying put • Ready-made templates for job offers, big purchases, moving cities, relationships, and new projects • A decision journal: mark what you chose, then log how it turned out — worked out, mixed, or regret • Insights that show your yes/no lean, your outcome record, and which areas of life you decide on most PERFECT FOR • Anyone stuck on a should-I question that lists in their head never settle • Overthinkers who circle the same choice for weeks and want it settled on paper • Couples and friends weighing a move, a purchase, or a plan together on one screen • Journalers who want a record of past decisions and how they really turned out WHY NOT JUST USE A NOTES APP? A note holds two columns; it cannot weigh them. In ProsCons every entry carries the importance you give it, the math is shown line by line, and the verdict updates as you type. Months later you can look back and see whether "went for it" actually worked out — something no scribbled T-chart will ever tell you. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your dilemmas stay on your iPhone. Decisions are stored on-device, there is no account to create, and nothing you write is uploaded anywhere. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) ProsCons requires an active plan. One plan unlocks everything: Compare mode with the weighted matrix, every template, and the full Insights dashboard. Choose the Weekly or Yearly auto-renewing subscription, or the one-time Lifetime purchase. Stop rehearsing the same argument in the shower — write it down, weigh it, and decide today.
