Best digital chore charts of 2026
Nine picks by use case, chosen on chore and reward features, three-year cost, calendar sync and hardware. Prices are from each maker's own pages in November 2026.
Researched, not hands-on tested. We have not used this device. This review is based on the maker's specs, published pricing and public information, as of November 2026. How we review.
Greenlight Family Hub
Greenlight lists chores with star rewards in its free plan, starts at $199 for the 10.1-inch and $299 for the 15.6-inch, and can connect to real allowance if you already use a Greenlight plan. The paid Hub+ adds voice and location features that most chore charts don't need.
Apolosign Digital Calendar (21.5" / 27")
Apolosign says there is no subscription, lists routines with points and rewards as included, and starts its large screens at $379 for 21.5 inches on sale. Expect a wall-mounted Android device.
Cozyla Calendar Plus 2 (15.6")
On the Calendar Plus line Cozyla says every Essential feature, rewards and habit tracking included, is already built in. $349.99 for the 15.6-inch. Avoid the Neo line if you want those features without a plan.
Skylight Calendar 2 (15")
A closed 15-inch device with the longest calendar-sync list we found. Chores are free; star rewards need the $79-a-year Plus plan.
Everblog FridgeCal and HomeCal
FridgeCal is a cordless 13.4-inch unit at $249, and HomeCal is a 21.5-inch unit at $299 on sale. Both are listed with no subscription and a chore chart with rewards.
Nori Family Hub (15.6")
Nori keeps tasks, routines and rewards free and sells Plus for AI help. The 15.6-inch Hub was shown at $249 device-only during an early Black Friday offer.
Hearth Display (27")
Hearth is built around routines and is still sold at $699 ($559.20 with its Black Friday code). Routines and rewards are part of the membership, which makes it the costliest option over three years.
Skylight Calendar Max (27")
A 27-inch QHD wall display with the same software as the 15-inch. It costs about double and cannot sit on a stand.
Mighty + Bright Daily + Weekly Chore Chart
A $49 magnetic chart with 14 magnets and 37 reusable stickers, built without rewards. A different category: no sync, no scores.

Questions
What is the best digital chore chart in 2026?
There is no single best. On paper, Greenlight Family Hub suits parents who want star rewards without a subscription, Apolosign suits a big screen with no plan, and Cozyla Calendar Plus 2 suits families who want deep chore tools. We have not hands-on tested any of them.
Do digital chore charts need a subscription?
Some do for rewards. Skylight puts rewards in its $79-a-year Plus plan and Hearth puts routines and rewards in its membership. Greenlight, Apolosign, Cozyla Calendar Plus, Nori and Everblog list chores and rewards without a required plan.
Is there a screen-free option?
Yes. The Mighty + Bright magnetic chore chart is $49 and has no screen, no sync and, by design, no rewards.
