PointUp is a family chore app that turns daily tasks into quests for children aged 4 to 16. Children earn XP and Gold, while a parent reviews and approves each completed quest before rewards are paid. Families can choose one-tap, optional, or required photo proof. Children spend Gold in a family reward store stocked with rewards their parents create. PointUp includes Focus Mode, Calm Mode, visual timers, and step-by-step task breakdowns for neurodiverse children. Quest deadlines can sync with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar, and family data syncs across iOS, Android, Amazon Appstore for Fire tablets, and the web. The free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and allows up to 5 active quests and 3 family members. Pro costs 3.99 USD per month and includes unlimited quests and family members, full reward customization, more than 50 quest templates, deadlines, custom themes, and Team Quests. Pro includes 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.
