No card needed · $5.99/mo after · Cancel anytime
No bank link · No kid debit card · Works with cash · Parent-approved only
Put accountability beside the way your family already pays.
Your family may already have a preferred way to pay allowance. HomeWork keeps the record of what was assigned, earned, approved, and paid.
HomeWork gives effort a number, approvals a trail, and payouts a status without becoming another bank account for your kids.
How the HomeWork system works
-
Define the work
Create Gigs, open Gigs, and household expectations with clear values and ownership.
-
Approve what was earned
Review completed work, mark payout status, and keep a visible ledger of what was earned and paid outside the app.
-
Track growth over time
Use balance history and savings goals to keep progress connected to the Gigs and payouts your family records.
Grades in. Hourly rate out. Time paid when you approve it.
-
You set each grade's rate
Starter amounts are only a suggestion. You decide what each grade is worth, then chores pay by the hour.
-
Chores pay by the hour
A Work Gig pays time times that rate. A flat amount stays available on any single Gig.
-
You approve every minute
The kid sees one next step and taps I'm done. Nothing counts until a parent approves it.
-
Cash still works
No bank link and no kid debit card. Pay in cash, or however you already pay.
One family record, visible to parents and kids.
HomeWork puts available Gigs, assigned work, approvals, payout status, and savings goals into shared household views.
Children can review available work and their own ledger. Parents control Gig values, approvals, and payout records.
Grade-linked hourly pay is the way to start. A flat amount on a Gig stays available.

HomeWork FAQ: Gigs, allowance, and financial literacy
How do grades set the hourly rate?
You decide what each grade is worth. Example: you set B = $4.00/hour and A = $4.75/hour. Each subject grade adds that grade's rate. The total is the hourly rate you set.
Are chores paid by the hour?
Yes. A Work Gig pays the minutes times the grade-based hourly rate. A flat amount is available when one Gig should not be hourly.
Does it work if we pay in cash?
Yes. You pay however you already pay, including cash. HomeWork records the approval and does not hold the money.
What happens after 14 days?
You pick monthly ($5.99) or annual ($49.99). No card is asked for during the trial. Cancel anytime.
