Why Parents Leave Homey
Real issues from App Store reviews and user feedback.
Chore Approval Paywalled
Homey: "First issue is the lack of ability to approve or disapprove completed chores. This is pretty basic and should be included." — App Store
ChoreSplit: Chore approval is FREE. Quality control is parenting, not a premium feature.
Performance Issues
Homey: "In the last 20 minutes I've attempted to edit one of my son's profile, add a daily goal, and edit a job. All of which failed after they timed out." — App Store
ChoreSplit: Modern architecture built for speed. No timeout errors. Fast loading every time.
Pricing vs Allowance Trade-off
Homey: "$4.99/mo is a bit steep in my opinion. I'd rather give that money to my daughter for her allowance." — App Store
ChoreSplit: $5/mo flat with everything included. No tiers to navigate. Clear value.
No Calendar Integration
Homey: "A calendar view would be nice to see what is happening each day" — App Store user request
ChoreSplit: Full calendar sync. See chores in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
No Fair Distribution
Homey: Manual chore assignment only. No algorithm to ensure fairness between kids.
ChoreSplit: Automatic fair distribution algorithm. Ends "why does she get easier chores?" fights.
Outdated UI
Homey: "The interface feels 2018" "MAKE TEXT BIGGER! Some text is really small and hard to read" — 2025 reviews
ChoreSplit: Modern, accessible design built for 2026. Clean interface that's easy to read.
The Pricing Math (For Parents)
What you actually pay for the features you need.
| What You Need | Homey | ChoreSplit |
|---|---|---|
| Basic chore management | Free | Free |
| 4-5 family members | $4.99/mo | Free |
| Chore approval | $4.99/mo | Free |
| Calendar integration | Not available | Free |
| Annual cost (all features) | $59.88 | $60 |
Homey is cheaper IF you don't need calendar sync or have 3 or fewer family members.
But most families need both.

When Homey Wins
If your primary goal is teaching financial literacy with direct bank transfers to your kids' accounts, Homey is specialized for that. They have bank account integration (US only) that ChoreSplit doesn't match.
But for pure chore management + fairness + reliability + calendar sync, ChoreSplit wins.
