Broommate turns housework into a game your household plays together — not against each other. Every chore becomes a card on a shared board. Claim it, do it, drag it to Done — and its points bank toward a weekly goal you set as a team. Hit the goal, unlock a prize you picked together. Movie night, takeout, a lazy Sunday: you decide what winning looks like. BUILT FOR HOUSEHOLDS OF EVERY SHAPE • Duos — partners and roommates share one board and one goal • Just you — solo mode keeps your own streak going, and converts to a duo the moment someone joins • Families — the Family plan brings up to 12 people onto one board, kids included • ADHD-friendly by design — chores live on visible cards (not buried in lists), freshness meters show what actually needs doing, and small point-sized wins keep momentum going KIDS JOIN SAFELY Kids get their own sign-in through a dedicated kid invite code that only a parent or guardian can share. They can claim chores, earn points, and suggest prizes — while adults keep control of the chore list, schedules, and rewards. Kids never see prices or purchase screens. FAIR BY DESIGN • A fixed 3-tier effort scale prices every chore: Quick 5, Standard 10, Big 20 • Weekend chores pay 1.5x — visible right on the card • Freshness meters show what needs attention before anyone has to nag • Contributions are visible, so the mental load is shared, not assumed PLAN THE WEEK • Drag chores onto specific days on the Plan tab • Smart reminders nudge the right person at the right time • Streaks and history show how far you've come CO-OP FIRST, COMPETE IF YOU DARE By default everyone's points pool toward one shared goal. Feeling spicy? Both agree to Compete mode and race head-to-head — winner picks the prize. FREE TO START The free plan covers two people, 6 active chores, and a prize on one goal. Premium unlocks unlimited chores, prizes on both weekly and monthly goals, and smart reminders — one subscription covers the whole household: $9.99/month for duos, $6.99/month solo, or $19.99/month for families of up to 12.

The clearest difference is device support: FutureMe at 3 against Broommate's 1. FutureMe also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
