Pricing
One price for the whole family.
Reward Study Pro is $39.99 a year after a 14-day free trial, $7.99 a month, $2.99 a week, or $99.99 once and never again. You pay for the family, not for each child, so a fourth child costs the same as the first. Every plan is shared with your Apple Family Sharing group, so one purchase covers everyone in it.
Prices on this page are in US dollars. The App Store charges in your own currency, at the price Apple sets for your country, and the figure you see on the plan screen inside the app is the one you will be billed.
- No account and no login

Four ways to pay
Pick the term, the app is the same in all four.
Reward Study Pro, yearly
Recommended
A year, and the only plan with a free trial. The first 14 days cost nothing, and the trial turns into the paid year unless you cancel before it ends. After that it renews once a year until you cancel it in your App Store subscription settings, and you keep Pro to the end of the year you paid for.
Reward Study Pro, monthly
A month, with no trial. It renews every month until you cancel it in your App Store subscription settings, and you keep Pro to the end of the month you paid for. Useful if you want to see a term or a school holiday through before deciding.
Reward Study Pro, weekly
A week, with no trial. It renews every week until you cancel it in your App Store subscription settings, and you keep Pro to the end of the week you paid for. The shortest commitment on offer, and the dearest one over a year.
Reward Study Pro, lifetime
Paid once and never renewed, so there is nothing to cancel. It includes the Second Household and Reward Ideas add-ons, and every future update. At $39.99 a year it pays for itself after about two and a half years.
All four are Family Sharing enabled: one purchase covers your whole Apple family group. Subscriptions are managed by Apple, so cancelling happens in your App Store subscription settings and not inside the app.
Pro against a lapsed plan
What changes if you stop paying.
Nothing is deleted. The household freezes rather than shrinks: everything already there stays on screen and stays readable, and nothing new can be made from any source.
| Feature | Reward Study ProAny plan | After a subscription ends |
|---|---|---|
| Add a child | Yes | No |
| Tasks children can mark done | Yes | No |
| Add rewards to spend on | Yes | No |
| Approving finished work, with praise | Yes | No |
| Two households | Yes | No |
| Story word problems | Yes | No |
| Printable worksheets | Yes | No |
| CSV export | Yes | No |
| Apple TV scoreboard | Yes | Yes |
| Co-parent invitations | Yes | Yes |
| Subscriptions are managed by Apple. Nothing is deleted when you cancel. At the end of the period your tasks and rewards pause: they stay on screen and stay readable, but nobody can add or complete one. Your credits, your history and everything you created stay, and you can still award and deduct credits by hand. Two things are never gated: editing an existing child's name, avatar, colour or birth date, which creates nothing, and a child spending credits they have already earned. | ||
What Pro includes
Six things the plan buys.
-
As many children as you need
The price is per family. A second, third or fourth child adds nothing to the bill, and each one keeps a separate ledger so the balances never blur together.
-
Tasks your children can mark done
Every task carries a value in credits. The child marks it done, you approve it, and only then do the credits land. Nothing pays out without a parent's tap. See the loop
-
Rewards they can spend on
You price the rewards, your child browses them and asks, and the redemption waits for your approval too. The shop moves into the app, which is where the asking moves with it.
-
Two households, for two homes
One Apple Account can own two separate households, each with its own children, tasks, rewards and ledger. Nothing crosses between them. How two homes work
-
Story word problems
The generator produces the numbers and the exact answer, and an on-device Apple Intelligence model wraps the same sum in a short story about football, trains, apples, animals or space. You read every set before your child sees it.
-
CSV export
The whole ledger as a nine-column CSV file: date, child, type, amount, reason, who issued it, the linked task, the linked reward and what it reverses. It sits behind the parent PIN, and the dates are ISO 8601 so a spreadsheet reads them without argument.
Add-ons
Two purchases that are made once.
Reward Ideas, $1.99
Fifty ready-made reward ideas with suggested prices, in six categories: Privileges, Outings, Things, Treats, Screen and Money. Suggested costs run from 10 to 500 credits. The whole list is browsable before you buy it, on purpose, because seeing the ideas is the point of them. Bought once, and it never renews.
Second Household, $4.99
From Reward Study 2.0 (September 2026) two households are included in Pro. Earlier versions sell a Second Household add-on for $4.99 once, and anyone who bought it keeps it. Joining a household by invitation has never needed it: an invited co-parent runs the ledger with you for free. Read the co-parent page
For comparison
What other chore apps cost.
Checked against each company's own pricing page on 20 September 2026. S'moresUp charges $7.99 a month and $79.99 a year today, and its own FAQ says both rise to $9.99 and $99.99 from 5 July 2026. Joon charges $12.99 a month and $89.99 a year. Greenlight runs four tiers from $5.99 to $19.98 a month. As far as this research found, none of them sells a lifetime plan, so Reward Study at $99.99 once is the only one in the category where the bill can end.
Those numbers move, which is why the date is written next to them rather than left off. The full table, with the free tiers, the trials and the rows we could not confirm from a first-party source, is in the comparison post. Read the price comparison
Questions about the bill
Twelve answers before you decide.
Is there a free version of Reward Study?
No. A new family needs a plan to run a household, and the way in is the 14-day free trial on the yearly plan. There is no permanently free tier to settle into, and saying so plainly is fairer than letting you build a household around one and then meeting a wall.
What happens when I cancel?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple. Nothing is deleted when you cancel. At the end of the period your tasks and rewards pause: they stay on screen and stay readable, but nobody can add or complete one. Your credits, your history and everything you created stay, and you can still award and deduct credits by hand.
Does the other parent have to pay as well?
Never. A co-parent you invite joins the same household ledger, takes no paid seat and needs no subscription of their own. They can also own a separate household of their own for free. One household, one bill, and nobody is charged twice for the same children.
Does a child's own device cost anything?
No. There is no per-device and no per-seat charge. A child can use Kid Mode on a borrowed phone, behind Face ID, Touch ID or your PIN, or have the app on their own device through iCloud sharing, where there is no banner and nothing to unlock.
How does Apple Family Sharing work here?
Every product in the app, subscription or one-time, is Family Sharing enabled. One person buys, and everyone in the Apple family group is covered automatically. Apple handles that part; there is no code to enter and no seat to assign inside Reward Study.
What changed with two households in 2.0?
From Reward Study 2.0 (September 2026) two households are included in Pro. Earlier versions sell a Second Household add-on for $4.99 once, and anyone who bought it keeps it. Nobody gets a third household, and joining a household by invitation never needed the add-on in either version.
Lifetime or yearly, which one costs less?
Lifetime is $99.99 and the yearly plan is $39.99, so the one-time purchase pays for itself after about two and a half years and costs nothing after that. Under that, the yearly plan is cheaper, and it is also the only one that starts with a free trial. If your youngest child has a decade of school left, the arithmetic points at lifetime.
Which currency are these prices in?
US dollars, on this page. The App Store shows and charges the price in your own currency, at the figure Apple sets for your country, and that is the number the plan screen inside the app will show you before you buy anything.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are Apple's to grant, not ours, because Apple takes the payment. You ask for one at reportaproblem.apple.com or from the app's own store screen, and Apple decides. We cannot issue or refuse one on your behalf, and we would rather say that than imply otherwise.
How does the trial reminder work?
There is a switch on the plan screen called Remind me before my trial ends, and it is on unless you turn it off. It lands two days before the trial becomes a paid year, mid-morning, or the day before if two days have already gone. Apple emails you as well; this is the same courtesy from inside the app, where it is harder to miss.
Does the Apple TV app cost extra?
No, it is included. The Apple TV app is a read-only scoreboard for the living room: every child, their balance, today's progress and the full ledger with every reason shown. It deliberately cannot approve work, change a balance or buy a reward, because a remote in a child's hand must not be able to approve their own chores.
Can I export my data and leave?
Yes, while your plan is running. CSV export writes the whole ledger to a nine-column file you keep, and it sits behind the parent PIN. It is a Pro feature, so export before you cancel rather than after. Your data never lived on a server we run in the first place: it is in your family's own iCloud. If anything here is unclear, write to support before you buy.
