Good question - ChoreMonster actually got acquihired in 2018 by Verizon and then immediately shut down. We are quite bit different though, with choremonster parents would assign tasks and then kids would complete them for either small game rewards (like monster farts) or extrinsic rewards like more screen time. We try to build a full game experience (like pokemon) as the motivator but are also trying to lean away from just the parent assigning kids chores and help children feel empowered to create / select their own habits or hobbies that they would like to do!
Totally hear your perspective. Having kids beg for chores is not what we are hoping to achieve in the long-term. Our broader goal is to help encourage kids to learn positive habits like making their bed, reading every day, etc. Hopefully we can use this tool to help the parent-child relationship work together towards this goal rather than have it just be a dopamine hit for kids and a task tracker for the parents.
Totally hear your point! Chore > reward is not our long term goal either. I think you actually nailed it that our longer-term goal is to add more depth (i.e. integrating books, math problems, other learning resources, etc.) into the platform to wean off of just chores. This is just our MVP state right now where we had launched a small solution that parents have been expressing a need for.
Shoot I didnt see this and replied to other comment about this, so apologies! We just launched subscriptions last week but we are still price testing different price points. Right now one of the most common price point that we are offering is $7.99 per month, $16.99 quarterly and $49.99 annually. Once we solidify the price, we'll absolutely update the FAQ and make pricing more transparent on the site since totally agree with you that it needs to be very transparent.
