Free list vs verified chores

OurHome vs ChoreSplit
Free Chore List vs AI-Verified

OurHome is free and covers chores, lists and a calendar — our dataset records no updates to it since 2022. ChoreSplit is a narrower, actively developed product: the child photographs the finished chore, AI reviews the photo against what the chore asked for, and a parent keeps the final say.

No credit card required

What is the difference between ChoreSplit and OurHome?

OurHome is a free all-in-one family organizer: chores, shopping lists and a shared calendar in one app, with basic points on top. Our competitor dataset records it as having had no updates since 2022, and it carries no AI features, no streaks, badges, leaderboards or multipliers, and virtual-only rewards. ChoreSplit is deliberately narrower — chores, projects, points and rewards — and is built around AI photo verification: the child submits a photo, the model reviews it against the chore, and only what falls below your confidence threshold reaches a parent.

OurHome

Family organizer / chore list app

Best for: Households that want a free app covering chores, shopping lists and a shared calendar together, and don't mind that it is no longer being updated.

ChoreSplit

Chore management app with AI photo verification

Best for: Households that want proof a chore was actually done, a motivation loop that keeps kids going, and an app that is still being worked on.

What does ChoreSplitdo that OurHome doesn't?

It verifies the chore instead of trusting the checkbox, and it adds the motivation layer OurHome never had — streaks, badges, leaderboards, multipliers and real-world rewards a parent sets and grants rather than virtual ones. It also supports kids who split time between two households, and it is still being developed.

How a chore gets marked done

OurHome: OurHome awards basic points when someone marks a chore complete. There is no verification step.

ChoreSplit: The child submits a photo, AI reviews it against what the chore asked for, and it auto-approves only above a confidence threshold the parent sets. Anything below it lands in the parent's queue with the photo and the AI's reasoning.

AI features

OurHome: OurHome does not offer AI photo verification, AI chore suggestions or AI project generation.

ChoreSplit: All three: verification, chore suggestions drafted from a plain-text description of your household, and a 5-12 task project plan generated from an event and its date.

Motivation layer

OurHome: Basic points, with no streaks, badges, leaderboards or multipliers, and rewards that stay virtual.

ChoreSplit: Points, streaks, achievement badges, family leaderboards and streak multipliers, with the points going toward real-world rewards a parent sets and grants.

Whether anyone is still working on it

OurHome: Our dataset records OurHome as having had no updates since 2022 — free, but not maintained.

ChoreSplit: ChoreSplit is under active development, funded by a $9.99/month paid plan alongside its free tier rather than by nothing at all.

ChoreSplit vs OurHome: feature by feature

OurHome is free and includes shopping lists, which ChoreSplit deliberately doesn't. ChoreSplit carries every AI row, every gamification row beyond basic points, Google Calendar sync and multi-household support. Neither app issues a debit card or holds money.

Does ChoreSplit replace everything OurHome did?

No — and it isn't trying to. OurHome bundled shopping lists, meal planning, a shared calendar and chores into one free app. ChoreSplit covers chores, projects, points and rewards, syncs them to Google Calendar, and leaves lists and meal planning to apps built for those.

If the shopping list is the feature your household actually ran on, plan to keep a separate list app alongside ChoreSplit. What you get in exchange is the part OurHome never had: a photo the AI checks against the chore, and a parent above every AI decision.

How do I move off OurHome?

By recreating your chores, which runs about 15 minutes — AI chore suggestions will draft most of the list from a plain description of your household. If you use OurHome for shopping lists as well, pick a list app for that part before you delete it.

Is OurHome still available, and is it still being updated?

OurHome is still free, and the in-repo competitor dataset behind this page records it as having had no updates since 2022. That is the whole of what we can substantiate — this page previously carried app-store star ratings, dated user reviews and specific bug reports that had no source of record, and those have been removed rather than repeated. For its current status, check the app stores directly; for whether it does what you need, the feature table above is drawn from a dataset reviewed in August 2026.

Should I use OurHome or ChoreSplit?

Use OurHome if free matters more than anything else and a shared list plus a basic chore checklist is genuinely all you need. Use ChoreSplit if you want the chore verified rather than ticked — a photo the AI reads against the chore, a parent above every AI call — plus streaks, badges, leaderboards and real-world rewards a parent grants, on an app that is still being developed. ChoreSplit has a free plan too; the $9.99/month plan is what adds AI photo verification.
