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 โ the vacuum every week, the windows far less often โ 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 โข The rooms you actually have, with a photo of the place โข The chores you tick off, and the ones you add yourself โข The dog and the cat get their own: the walk, the bowls, the brushing โข Everyone gets a profile, a photo and a colour BALANCE YOU CAN SEE โข Execution balance: who does it โข Mental load: who remembers it needs doing โข History and trends, week after week โ 4 or 12 weeks โข A points leaderboard, when you feel playful โข A nudge to send, when you feel less playful TOGETHER โข One invite link, and your partner is in โข Adult and child roles โ a child's chores can ask for an adult to confirm โข Real-time sync across devices FREE FOR TWO Tandem is free for two people, with no time limit. TANDEM PREMIUM โข Up to 6 members โ the whole family, or the whole flatshare โข Several households: flatshare, holiday home, shared custody โข Automatic rebalancing of upcoming chores โข Two extra colour themes Monthly subscription, renewed automatically, cancel any time in your Apple account settings.

Faredo helps turn everyday chores into a clear and engaging system of goals, points, and rewards. Create tasks for your children, choose how many points each task is worth, and add rewards they can work toward with the points they earn. Cleaning their room, doing homework, brushing their teeth, putting away toys, or helping around the house โ small everyday responsibilities become steps toward a reward they really want. HOW FAREDO WORKS 1. Parents create tasks and choose how many points they are worth. 2. Children see their tasks and complete them. 3. Once a task is done, the child sends it for approval. 4. A parent confirms the task, and the child receives the points. 5. Children save their points and choose a reward they want to earn. 6. A parent approves the reward, and the required points are deducted. TASKS FOR KIDS Create your own chores, routines, and useful everyday tasks. Set a point value for each one and help your child see the results of their effort. REWARDS THAT MATTER Decide together what your child wants to save points for: extra gaming time, a trip to the movies, a new toy, a family activity, a favorite treat, or any other reward that feels meaningful. A reward does not have to be something you buy. It can be choosing the family movie, getting extra playtime, or enjoying a special activity together. POINTS FOR REAL EFFORT In Faredo, children do not buy points. Points are a simple way to recognize completed tasks and help children make steady progress toward their own goals. FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Faredo is designed as a simple shared space for families. Parents manage tasks and rewards, while children can see what they need to do, collect points, and choose the goals they want to work toward. SMALL TASKS, BIG ACHIEVEMENTS Faredo helps make everyday responsibilities easier to understand, encourages children to see the value of their effort, and gives families more reasons to celebrate small wins together.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: faredo at none against Tandem's 3. faredo also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
