Best chore app for couples: six listings sorted by how they measure a fair split

What the best chore app for couples has to do

Two adults who share a home do not need someone to hand out jobs. They need to see the same picture and agree on what counts.

• It shows both of you the same list. No parent account, no admin.
• It counts something you both accept. Jobs, minutes, effort or points.
• It stays cheap for two. Several apps price by household size.

Alpacto is our own app, so it gets no row: our own listing would prove nothing. It appears once, at the end.

The chore app for couples, one row each

Prices, ratings and build dates were read from each App Store listing on October 2, 2026. We do not add Apple and Google Play ratings together.

What each chore app for couples actually counts

Count the jobs and the person with the many small ones loses. Count minutes or effort and a two-hour laundry day finally weighs more than the trash.

Homsy is the only listing here whose maker says it weighs effort. Its article describes it as telling you “whether the week split evenly” and, in the same article, says the app is free for a household of two, checked on September 24, 2026. That is the maker describing its own app, so read the free tier on the listing before relying on it.

Tody tracks when cleaning is due. Its official website also describes assigning chores or rotating them automatically. Premium+ adds shared household plans, contribution targets through FairShare and monthly reports of completed work. Those features were checked on the maker’s website on October 6, 2026; the store figures in the table remain the October 2 snapshot.

Sweepy turns the split into a score and a leaderboard. That works until the question stops being who did more and becomes who agreed to do what.

The six, one by one

Homsy

The newest and smallest audience here: 31 ratings, so its 4.8 is a first impression, not a verdict. It was built on September 29, 2026, three days before we read it, and its yearly plan is $19.99.

Nipto

Its listing title says what it does: Split Chores. Its price list prints three Premium lines at $1.99 monthly, $12.99 annual and $17.99, so check which one you tap. 882 ratings, built on September 28, 2026.

Flatastic

Its description names partners next to roommates and family. It also sells Premium for one at $18.49 a year, Premium for everybody at $34.99 a year and Premium for everyone at $6.49 a month. The listing does not say what the second person sees on a one-person plan, so check before paying.

Tody

Cleaning is organized by when each task is due, and chores can be assigned or rotated. Premium+ adds household sync and contribution tracking. The October 2 store snapshot records 4.8 from 11K ratings.

Sweepy

Cleaning by room with the work split between residents and a leaderboard. At $19.99 a year it matches Homsy, but its last iPhone build is from February 2026.

Chap

Rotating chores, reminders and a calendar, with the same yearly plan printed at $39.99 and $49.99 on one listing. Its listing sells an admin feature, which is the one thing a couple of equals can do without.

What two people pay

For a couple the yearly lines are close. Homsy and Sweepy both print $19.99 a year, Nipto $12.99, and Flatastic $18.49 for one person or $34.99 for everybody.

The arithmetic is ours: if only one of you pays Flatastic’s one-person plan, it is $18.49 a year, and splitting Nipto’s $12.99 comes to $6.50 each.

Tody prices by household. For two people its Duo tier at $24.99 is the line to compare with Flatastic’s $34.99 for everybody. The two side by side: Nipto vs Tody.

Skip a subscription altogether and agree the split on paper: a chore chart for adults has a row per job and a place for both initials, and the chore split calculator divides the work by minutes.
