What should I compare in a household app?
Compare the tasks and records you need to share, how your helper will access the app, and the current trial and price terms. Check that the product handles the work your household actually does.
Household app guide
The right household app depends on which jobs you need to share and how your helper will access it. FamilyDesk and Domo Household both list task, leave and payroll features, but their published details differ on helper access and product status.
This comparison uses the current FamilyDesk public pages, Domo's official site and its Google Play listing. It covers only details those sources publish. On a phone, swipe the table sideways to see each product's column.
| What to compare | FamilyDesk | Domo Household |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks and time off | Shared routines and checklists; helpers can request time off from a phone. | The listing describes tasks and leave approval and tracking. |
| Payroll and records | The public site lists payroll, payslips and agreements in a private household space. | The listing includes payslips, contribution tracking, digital employment contracts and records. |
| Helper access | Invite by mobile number; the helper can open a link on a phone without installing another app. | Domo says families create a household in the app and invite staff to join. |
| Offer and status | Free during early access; 30-day trial with no card. Its terms say no price is set yet. | Domo's site says “Get Domo free.” Its Google Play listing labels the app beta; the pages checked do not state a trial length or ongoing price. |
