How that compares
Most kids' chore apps run on subscriptions, commonly $5–13 per month ($60–150/year) with the good features behind the paywall. Star Chart has no paywall to put features behind. See the full breakdown in our honest comparison of the best chore apps.
Why is it free?
Because the funding model shapes the product. Subscription kids' apps need retention mechanics: streaks, locked pets, upgrade nags. Ad-funded apps need your child's attention and data. Star Chart is an independent project built to be genuinely useful and cheap to run, so it needs neither: no ads, no data selling, no dark patterns. The app collects only a username, a parent passcode, and your family's chore data — never an email, phone number, or payment details. Details in the privacy policy.
The whole app costs less than one sticker pack
