A Tody app alternative where the whole house is free.
Updated
If you are leaving the Tody app because sharing costs extra, We Both has free chores for everyone in the house, with no member limit. If you like Tody’s way of scheduling by how dirty a room is, stay: We Both repeats chores on a calendar, and does not track dirtiness.
Tody is free for one person. Household sync is part of Premium+, which costs $25 a year for two people, according to its website.
We Both lets everyone in the house share chores free, with repeats you set yourself, and adds the calendar, bills and shopping list around them.

Who We Both fits
Households that share chores and are done paying per person. Chores in We Both repeat on a schedule you choose, can be assigned and handed over, and appear on the shared calendar next to bills and events. “Whenever” chores have no date and never go overdue, which covers some of what Tody’s no-deadline approach does.
