Brownie Points vs. Chores
Chores is iPhone only.
Brownie Points works for everyone.
If even one person in your household has an Android phone, an iOS-only app isn't a household app. It's a personal one.
No credit card required. Free plan always available.
The honest comparison
One phone, or every phone
Chores
Chores is a well-built app for iPhone and iPad, with real thought put into contribution tracking and shared task lists, explicitly designed for roommates and households. The catch: every person using it needs an iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Android isn't supported today, and by the developer's own FAQ, it's only "on the roadmap."
Brownie Points
Brownie Points is a web app first. It runs in any browser, on any phone, tablet, or laptop, iPhone or Android, no install required. If someone in your household doesn't want to download anything at all, the shared kiosk board mode works from a single shared screen with no login and no app store required for anyone.
Roommates rarely all carry the same phone. Couples split iPhone and Android more often than either side likes to admit. A chore app that only half the house can open isn't really solving the "who's doing what" problem. It's just moving the tracking from one person's head to one person's phone.
