PointUp vs LootLoop

PointUp helps parents share out family chores and make everyday responsibilities rewarding. Turn jobs into quests, add photos of rewards your children have helped choose, and celebrate progress with streaks, badges and weekly challenges. TURN EVERYDAY CHORES INTO QUESTS Tidying a bedroom, feeding the pet or finishing homework can all become quests. Build a family chore chart with clear tasks and Gold values. Bring kids' chores and daily routines together in one place, so children can see the next job and how it contributes to their goal. REWARDS THEY CAN PICTURE Create your family's own reward shop with rewards you choose together. Add your own photos so a favorite toy, a trip out or a family movie night feels like a real goal. Children save Gold, PointUp's in-app points, and redeem it for rewards you provide. You choose the rewards and their Gold prices, from extra screen time to treats or allowance. STREAKS THAT MAKE EFFORT VISIBLE Give children a reason to keep coming back. Personal streaks recognize regular contributions, while family streaks give everyone something to build together. Celebrate milestones and see how small jobs add up over time. With Pro, streak bonuses can add extra Gold and XP to completed quests. BADGES, XP AND LEVELS TO BE PROUD OF Completing quests earns experience points, or XP, as well as Gold. Children work toward badges and new levels, with a journey that makes their progress visible. Personal and family achievements give you something to celebrate beyond a check mark on a chore chart. Parents earn badges for supporting the family too. WEEKLY CHALLENGES FOR YOUR FAMILY Give the week a shared goal, such as completing quests together or building a run of streak days. Follow your family's progress and work toward bonus Gold and XP. Parents can choose challenges that suit their household, adding variety as children work toward the next achievement. PHOTO PROOF, WITH YOU IN CONTROL Choose one-tap completion, optional photos or required photo proof for your family, with individual settings for each child. Children can show their finished work, and parents can review completion before Gold is awarded. Match the checks to your child's growing independence. FOCUS ON ONE STEP AT A TIME Long lists can feel overwhelming. Focus Mode shows one task at a time, and subtasks break bigger chores into manageable steps. Calm Mode, reduced motion and adjustable text help you tailor the experience. For families managing ADHD or children who prefer a quieter screen, these tools offer practical ways to make the next step clearer. PLAN TOGETHER WITH POINTUP PRO Use shared team chores to let siblings work together. Set deadlines and daily, weekly or monthly recurring schedules, use task templates and sync with your calendar.

LootLoop is the family reward tracker that turns everyday tasks into missions kids actually want to complete. Created by a real parent in the UK, LootLoop gives you a simple, thoughtful way to teach children responsibility, build healthy habits, and make household contributions feel genuinely rewarding - without nagging, star charts falling off the fridge, or apps that talk down to you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create missions - Set custom chores or tasks (tidy bedroom, read for 20 minutes, feed the dog) and assign a credit value to each one. 2. Kids complete missions - Children earn credits for every task they finish. They can see their balance grow and start learning the connection between effort and reward. 3. Spend in the reward shop - Set up rewards your family actually cares about (extra screen time, a trip to the park, a new book) and let kids spend their hard-earned credits. You stay in control of what's on offer and what it costs. That's it. No gimmicks, no ads, no subscriptions draining your account month after month. FEATURES YOUR FAMILY WILL LOVE • Unlimited children - Add every child in the household, each with their own balance and mission history. No per-child fees, ever. • Custom missions - Create any task you like and set the credit value. Adjust as your children grow. • Mission categories - Organise missions into groups (morning routine, weekend jobs, school prep) so everyone knows what's expected. • Reward shop - Build a shop of rewards your family chooses together. Kids browse, pick, and spend. You approve. • Activity tracking - Weekly charts show you who's been doing what. Spot patterns, celebrate streaks, and have better conversations about contribution. • Full history - Every mission completed and every reward redeemed is logged. Complete transparency for the whole family. • Built for one hand - Big, clear controls and a Quick Log button always within thumb reach, so you can log a mission on the way out of the door. • Works everywhere - Use LootLoop on your iPhone, iPad, or desktop. Everything stays in sync. • Private by design - Every request is checked against your sign-in, so your family's data is only ever reachable from your own account. Passwords are stored hashed, everything is hosted in the UK, and we never sell your data. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE LOOTLOOP Most reward apps are either built for toddlers or buried in subscriptions. LootLoop is different. It's designed for children aged 4–12, with an interface parents don't have to apologise for using. The tone is warm, the design is clean, and the pricing is honest. We believe teaching kids about effort, reward, and responsibility shouldn't cost you a recurring fee. That's why LootLoop is a one-off purchase - pay once, use it forever. PRICING • Free 14-day trial — Full access to every feature, no credit card required upfront. • £4.99 lifetime access — One payment. No subscriptions. No hidden costs. This is our introductory offer, so grab it while it lasts. BUILT IN THE UK, BY A REAL PARENT LootLoop was born out of the same frustration you probably feel: wanting a simple, effective way to encourage good behaviour without resorting to bribery or complicated systems. It's built with care, tested with real families, and improved based on genuine feedback. We'd love to hear how LootLoop works for your family.
