Xtra Hands Pricing: Start Free, Add Your Crew

Xtra Hands now starts free for one member, with no commitment and no features held back. You can set up chores, build routines, track rewards, and decide whether the system fits your life before paying anything.

When you are ready to bring more people into the household, pricing grows with your crew. Add a second member for $1.99 per month, then move into Trio, Quad, or Crew as your household expands. Annual plans save about 30%.

One member is free

The first member is free to use with the complete Xtra Hands feature set. This is our version of a free trial, except there is no countdown and no stripped-down trial mode.

You can take the time to create real chores, try recurring schedules, set up rewards, and see whether Xtra Hands belongs in your routine. If one member is all you need, you can keep using it free.

• No trial deadline. Use the free membership without racing a timer.

• No feature gate. The tools are available from the beginning.

• No commitment. Add paid members only when your household is ready.

• No need to rebuild later. Your chores and routines can grow with your crew.

Simple pricing that grows with your households

Paid plans are based on the number of members in your Xtra Hands household, not on separate feature tiers.

Prices are in U.S. dollars. Storefront pricing and applicable taxes may vary. Current purchase options are shown in the app.

Every plan includes every feature

We did not want families choosing between the plan they can afford and the tools that make the system useful. Xtra Hands plans differ by household size, not capability.

That means the features you use to run your household are not reserved for a premium tier:

• Recurring and one-time chores.

• Rotating assignments for shared work.

• Reminders and due dates.

• Parent review and approval.

• Optional photo proof.

• Stars, money, balances, and custom rewards.

• Household history and progress.

Start with the complete product. Pay only when additional household members make Xtra Hands more useful to your family.

Save about 30% with annual billing

Monthly plans keep the commitment small. Annual plans are available for households that know they want to keep the system running and would rather save about 30% over paying month to month.

There is no annual plan to buy for Solo because one member is already free.

Why price by members?

A household chore system becomes more valuable as more people participate. Assignments can rotate, everyone can see their own responsibilities, and completed work no longer has to live in one person's memory.

Member-based pricing keeps the entry point open while letting the product grow with the household. A person can build and test a complete system alone. A couple can use Duo. Larger families can move into Trio, Quad, or Crew without unlocking a different version of Xtra Hands.

Crew is the ceiling: once your household reaches five members, the plan supports the rest of the crew without continuing to climb member by member.

Start small, then invite the household

You do not need to configure every chore or invite everyone on the first day. A simple start usually works better:

1. Create your free member account.

2. Add one daily chore and one weekly chore.

3. Choose whether those chores use stars, money, a custom reward, or no reward.

4. Use the system long enough to see how it fits your routine.

5. Invite additional household members when shared participation will help.

Pricing questions

Is Xtra Hands free?

Yes. Xtra Hands is free for one member with no trial deadline, no commitment, and no features locked behind a paid tier. You pay only when you add more household members.

How much does Xtra Hands cost?

Solo is free for one member. Monthly household plans are $1.99 for Duo, $3.99 for Trio, $5.99 for Quad, and $7.99 for Crew. Crew supports households with five or more members.

Does Xtra Hands offer annual plans?

Yes. Annual plans save about 30% compared with paying monthly for 12 months. Duo is $16.99 per year, Trio is $33.99, Quad is $49.99, and Crew is $66.99.

Are any features limited to a more expensive plan?

No. Xtra Hands plans are based on the number of household members, not feature access. The first free member can use the same product features available to paid households.

What counts as a member?

A member is a person added to your Xtra Hands household so they can participate in its chores, assignments, approvals, balances, or rewards.

What happens when my household has more than five members?

Crew is the plan for five or more household members. Once you reach Crew, you do not keep moving into higher member-by-member price tiers.

Can I start free and upgrade later?

Yes. Start with one free member and add people when you are ready. Your existing chores, routines, and rewards remain part of the same household.

A complete start should actually feel complete

We want families to decide whether Xtra Hands works by using the real product, not by watching a trial clock or discovering that the useful features require another upgrade.

Start free with Xtra Hands. Build your system with one member, keep it as long as you like, and add the rest of your crew when the time is right.
