Every card in Tipje says why. Not "take off your shoes" but "Take off your shoes at the door so our home stays clean and cosy." A child who knows the reason does not have to be convinced again every morning. That is the whole idea, and it is on all 150 cards: 60 house rules, 60 chores and 30 rewards, each one written by hand in English, Dutch and German โ no machine translation. It is a chore chart, a reward chart and a house-rules board in one: the star chart from the fridge, minus the missing stickers. HOW IT WORKS Tell Tipje your child's age band once and a starter board appears: around five house rules, five chores and six rewards chosen for that age. Change any of them, or write your own. Your child gets a tab of their own. They tick off what they have done and earn peanuts. Peanuts buy rewards you approved first. The badges sit on the Achievement Board; the weekly recap there is part of Tipje Family. WHAT'S INSIDE โข 150 cards, every one with its reason in words a child can repeat โข A whole starter board from one tap, then edit anything you like โข Rewards you write yourself, priced in peanuts you set โข Up to two children, each with their own board and their own cards (with Tipje Family) โข Badges your child can see for themselves, with no PIN in the way โข Streaks that forgive one missed day, and a personal best that keeps standing โข Sound, a gentle vibration and confetti when something is genuinely done โข One evening reminder at a time you choose, naming what is still open โข A Sunday recap of the week, written for you โข A parent PIN, so you are the only one who can change a card โข Tap a locked card and Tipje asks your child to fetch a grown-up โ it never opens a purchase โข Rule lists that open without a connection โข No adverts anywhere in the app "ISN'T THIS BRIBERY?" Honest answer: no โ but it can become that. A bribe is what you offer in the middle of a conflict to make a behaviour stop: sweets at the till so the screaming ends. Tipje runs the other way round. The agreement is set beforehand, your child knows the reason, and the reward comes afterwards. The reason is on the card, not the peanut. You write the reward list yourself, so it can cost time instead of money: reading together, choosing what goes on the table on Sunday, a walk with just you. And when your child knows a rule a few months in and no longer needs the card, take it off the board. That is not failure, that is finished. WHAT AGE Tipje fits ages 6 to 8 best. Most children read and tick their own cards from about five; with a grown-up reading the cards aloud it works a little earlier. The cards are short and the peanuts count on one hand. PLANS Tipje Family: yearly with a 14-day free trial through the App Store, monthly, or a one-time purchase. The price for your country is shown before you choose anything, and the upgrade sits in the parent area, behind the parent PIN. Families who already use Tipje keep exactly what they have. And without Tipje Family the app stays readable rather than locked: boards, history, badges and the peanut balance all stay visible, they just cannot be changed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NP Timer Plug at none against Tipje's 8. NP Timer Plug also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.4). Tipje's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
