PointUp
What it is
PointUp is a family chore app that turns daily tasks into quests for children aged 4 to 16. Children earn XP and Gold for completed quests, but a parent reviews and approves each one before rewards are paid. Families can set photo proof to one-tap, optional, or required, and children spend Gold in a family reward store stocked with parent-created rewards. Focus Mode, Calm Mode, visual timers, and step-by-step task breakdowns are included for neurodiverse children. Quest deadlines can sync with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar. PointUp is available on iOS, Android, Amazon Appstore for Fire tablets, and the web, with family data syncing across devices. The free plan allows up to 5 active quests and 3 family members. Pro costs $3.99 a month and includes unlimited quests and family members, reward customization, more than 50 templates, and Team Quests. Pro has a 7-day trial; families referred by an existing user are described as eligible for a 14-day trial. Subscribers can cancel from the app.
