Grove

Grove helps parents build better habits with their kids — through points, chores, goals, and a little friendly accountability. Parents set up a household once: add children, configure daily point awards, create chores with point values, and define goals with a point threshold. When a child earns enough points, they redeem their goal. Grove makes the invisible visible — kids understand exactly where they stand and what they're working toward. PARENT TOOLS • Award daily points and log bonus points for good behavior • Create chores with custom point values • Set goals with photo, name, and a point target — kids see their progress in real time • Quick Start goal templates for common rewards: New Video Game, Extra Screen Time, Movies, New Toy • Log behavior incidents with category, severity, and notes • Filter the behavior log by category, date range, or severity • Filter the point ledger by transaction type: daily points, chores, bonuses, penalties, or goal redemptions • Weekly summary notifications keep you informed without constant checking • Co-parent support: two parents share one household and see the same data KIDS ON SHARED DEVICES — PIN MODE Grove works on a single shared family device. Parents assign each child a 4-digit PIN. On the shared device, each child taps their own avatar, enters their PIN, and lands on their personal dashboard — no Supabase account, no email address, nothing to remember but four digits. The child dashboard shows current points, active goals with progress, and a history of recent activity. Kids can see what they've earned. They can't edit anything. SYNC & DATA Grove syncs across devices in real time using Supabase. Two parents on separate iPhones see the same household data. CloudKit is used for device-level preferences and PIN storage. Child PINs are stored in the device Keychain — they never leave the device. PRIVACY Grove is designed with children's privacy in mind. Children never create accounts or enter credentials as authenticated users. All child data is owned by the parent account. No third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services are used. Data resides in your personal account and on-device storage. Privacy Policy: https://heiloprojects.com/privacy --- SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Grove requires an active subscription to use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Study Plan Maker at none against Grove's 1. Study Plan Maker also leads on iOS requirement (13.6 vs 17.0). Grove's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
