FAQ
Does ChoreSplit work for kids with ADHD like Joon?
Yes! ChoreSplit's gamification (streaks, instant feedback, visible progress) uses the same motivational principles that help ADHD kids. Plus AI verification gives immediate feedback, which is crucial for ADHD. And real money rewards provide tangible motivation.
Why real money instead of virtual pets?
Research shows real, tangible rewards create stronger motivation, especially over time. Virtual pets work initially but can lose appeal. Real money on a debit card teaches financial literacy while maintaining motivation.
Is ChoreSplit cheaper than Joon?
Yes! Joon is $12.99/month ($156/year). ChoreSplit is $5/month ($60/year). You save $96/year and get AI features plus debit cards that Joon doesn't offer.
What about parent coaching that Joon offers?
ChoreSplit focuses on the app experience: AI handles verification, gamification handles motivation. We recommend consulting ADHD specialists for coaching. Our app reduces your daily chore management burden.
