Coming soon to iPhone
Most chore apps are a chart on the fridge. Chorez is the chart that actually gets the kid paid.
Post a chore with a real dollar amount. Your kid claims it, does it, and snaps a photo when it's done. You tap approve — and Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal opens with the amount already filled in. You send it, the same way you'd hand over cash.
How it works
Five steps, and the last one is the one every other chore app leaves out.
- Post it. A chore, a due date, and a dollar amount. Tap the mic and say it out loud if typing is too much friction.
- They claim it. Kids, a partner, a roommate — whoever's in the house picks it up off the board.
- Photo proof. Optional, per chore. The trash is either at the curb or it isn't.
- You approve. One notification, one look, one tap.
- They get paid. Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal opens with the amount prefilled. You hit send. They get "you got paid 💸".
You don't need a debit card to pay your own kid
The card apps want a lot
Order a card. Link a bank account. Verify your identity. Wait for plastic to show up in the mail. Pay somewhere between $72 and $240 a year — for what is fundamentally a five-dollar-a-week habit.
Chorez wants none of it
Money rides the rails your family already uses. Chorez never touches a dollar, never sees your card or bank details, and takes no cut. There's no balance to get trapped in, because there's no balance.

What's in the app
The payment loop closes
Approve leads straight into the payment app with everything prefilled — not an IOU you'll forget by Thursday.
Settle later, honestly
Not paying per chore? Amounts stack into a running balance you can send in one prefilled tap on allowance day.
Voice-first entry
Tap the mic, say the chore. The board fills up in the ninety seconds you actually have.
Recurring chores
Daily, weekdays, or weekly — so the board refills itself instead of becoming your job.
Balances that answer the question
Per-kid balances and lifetime earnings, so "how much have I saved up" takes one tap to answer.
Every caregiver, one family
Co-parents, grandparents, a nanny — all can post and approve. One subscription covers the whole house.

Questions parents actually ask
Does Chorez touch my money?
No. It opens your own Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal with the amount filled in, and you hit send. Chorez never sees, holds, or moves a dollar.
What if my kid doesn't have Venmo?
Venmo Teen Accounts cover ages 13–17. For younger kids, or families who'd rather not bother, balances track in the app as an IOU and there's a "paid in cash" button for when you settle up in person.
Do I have to pay out every single chore?
No. "Settle later" keeps an honest running balance and pays it out whenever you like, in one prefilled tap for the total.
How is this different from Greenlight?
No debit card, no bank linking, no identity verification, and a fraction of the price. Greenlight is a bank account with chores attached. Chorez is chores with the payment apps you already use attached. The longer answer.
What does it cost?
One subscription for the whole family: $39.99/year or $4.99/month, with a 7-day free trial.
What about privacy?
No ads. No data sold. Your family's chore list is nobody's business but yours. Read the privacy policy — and note there are no trackers on this website either.
