Who vacuumed this week? Tandem remembers, so you don't have to. You lay out your home room by room. Tandem works out the chores and how often each one comes round ā the vacuum every week, the windows far less often ā and two bars show who is carrying what: the mental load on one side, the real split on the other. No red badges, no keeping score against each other. A living list, balanced between two. YOUR HOME, AS IT REALLY IS ⢠The rooms you actually have, with a photo of the place ⢠The chores you tick off, and the ones you add yourself ⢠The dog and the cat get their own: the walk, the bowls, the brushing ⢠Everyone gets a profile, a photo and a colour BALANCE YOU CAN SEE ⢠Execution balance: who does it ⢠Mental load: who remembers it needs doing ⢠History and trends, week after week ā 4 or 12 weeks ⢠A points leaderboard, when you feel playful ⢠A nudge to send, when you feel less playful TOGETHER ⢠One invite link, and your partner is in ⢠Adult and child roles ā a child's chores can ask for an adult to confirm ⢠Real-time sync across devices FREE FOR TWO Tandem is free for two people, with no time limit. TANDEM PREMIUM ⢠Up to 6 members ā the whole family, or the whole flatshare ⢠Several households: flatshare, holiday home, shared custody ⢠Automatic rebalancing of upcoming chores ⢠Two extra colour themes Monthly subscription, renewed automatically, cancel any time in your Apple account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DOTOG at none against Tandem's 3. DOTOG also leads on iOS requirement (15.0.0 vs 17.0). Tandem's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
