📱 When to Choose iAllowance
iAllowance might still work for you if:
- You only use iOS devices
- You prefer a one-time purchase
- You want to track actual money amounts (not points)
- You don't need cloud sync or multi-device access
🎯 When to Choose PointWiseSystem
PointWiseSystem is the better choice if:
- You want cloud sync across all family devices
- You have Android devices or Chromebooks
- You want habit tracking with streaks
- You want Kiosk Mode for a shared kitchen tablet
- You are a homeschooler who needs gradebook features

💡 Points vs Money
iAllowance tracks actual dollar amounts. PointWiseSystem uses points that kids redeem for rewards you define — screen time, outings, privileges, or even money if you want.
Many families prefer points because:
- Kids stay motivated by earning and spending points
- You control what rewards are available
- No need to manage actual cash or bank accounts
- Works for non-monetary rewards (extra screen time, pick the movie, etc.)
