Real bucket-splitting logic — same component every family uses.

The method

Save, Spend, Donate — set up in three steps

📋01

Parent creates jobs

Build a chore list — make bed, feed the dog, clear the table. Assign daily or weekly jobs to each kid.

✅02

Kids check in daily

Each child opens their big, colorful dashboard, taps chores as done, and watches their streak grow.

🫙03

Jars fill automatically

On payout day, allowance splits into Save, Spend, and Donate jars based on the percentages you set.

Why PocketPoints

Made for young kids.
Not just small adults.

Greenlight and GoHenry are great — for tweens with debit cards. PocketPoints is built for the 5–10 window, when habits form and every dollar feels magical.

“We have 5 kids. We built this because nothing else was simple enough for a 7-year-old — and real enough for us to stick with it.”

— The Phan Family · Phantastic Five

What's the catch?

There isn't one. Here's exactly why.

PocketPoints is a closed-loop simulation. The money in the jars is a number in our database — not a balance in a real account.

Privacy & Safety

  • No debit card, credit card, or bank account is ever linked or required — for the parent or the child.
  • Kids log in with a PIN only. No email, password, or personal contact info needed on a child's account.
  • Real payouts happen only when a parent chooses to pay — nothing moves on its own.
  • Free means free — no trial, no credit card, and nothing to cancel, ever.

No catch

100% free to use. Not a trial.

Every feature — chores, streaks, savings goals, and the full Save / Spend / Donate jar system — is free. No credit card to sign up, no countdown to a paywall, nothing to cancel.
