TURN EVERYDAY CHORES INTO A GAME YOUR KIDS WILL WANT TO PLAY Tidying up, homework, brushing teeth. Getting kids to do the boring stuff can feel like a daily battle. Housepoints changes that. Award points for positive behaviour, and watch your children race to earn them. They'll build streaks, unlock badges, and level up, all while learning that effort pays off. It's not a sticker chart on the fridge. It's a reward system that actually works. MAKE CHORE TIME FUN TIME Tap to award points whenever your child does something great. Homework done? Points. Room tidied? Points. Kind to their sibling? Points. Every tap triggers a burst of star confetti, and your child's score climbs in real time. You'll be surprised how quickly "I don't want to" becomes "Can I earn more points?" WATCH THEM LEVEL UP Kids start as a Newcomer and work their way up through eight levels: Helper, Star, Superstar, Champion, all the way to Grand Master. Every point they earn builds towards the next milestone. It gives them something to aim for, and a real sense of achievement when they get there. THEY'LL BEAM WITH PRIDE Badges celebrate the moments that matter. A first ever point. A three-day streak. A perfect week. When a badge pops up with a celebration, the look on your child's face is priceless. These little wins build confidence and teach kids that showing up every day counts. POINTS BECOME REAL REWARDS You choose what points are worth. Maybe 10 points buys 30 minutes of screen time. Maybe 20 points earns a sweet treat or a trip to the park. It's like a kids' allowance tracker for good behaviour. They learn to save, choose, and spend. TEAMWORK: INVITE OTHER GROWNUPS Mom, Dad, Grandma, the childminder. Everyone can join the family and award points. It's a family chore tracker that keeps all caregivers on the same page. No more "but Dad said I could!" Full transparency on who awarded what and when.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Points4That® at none against Housepoints's 2. Points4That® also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Housepoints's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
