FAQ
Can I use ChoreSplit like Habitica for my family?
Yes! ChoreSplit has similar gamification (points, streaks, achievements) but designed for families. Parents assign chores, kids complete them, and everyone sees the family leaderboard. Plus AI verification and real money rewards.
Does ChoreSplit have RPG elements like Habitica?
ChoreSplit focuses on streaks, badges, leaderboards, and point multipliers rather than RPG characters. Our gamification is designed to motivate kids specifically, with real money as the ultimate reward.
What about Habitica Parties and Guilds?
ChoreSplit has family leaderboards where kids compete with siblings. Multi-household support lets kids have accounts with both parents. The social element is family-focused rather than guild-based.
How does ChoreSplit verify chores are done?
Kids submit photos of completed chores. AI analyzes the photo and verifies completion with detailed feedback. Parents can review or set auto-approval thresholds. Much better than Habitica's honor system.
