Frequently asked questions

What's the best cleaning app overall?

It depends on what you want from it. Tidied is built around gamification — points, streaks, household leaderboards and 30 badges — and runs in a browser, so there is nothing to install. Tody is the strongest choice if you prefer cleanliness that visibly decays over time. Sweepy is worth a look if you want effort-balanced scheduling on mobile.

What's the best free cleaning app?

Tidied is free forever for one person, and all 30 badges are included on the free plan rather than held back for subscribers. Tody and Sweepy both offer free tiers too, with household syncing on their paid plans — check their current listings, since pricing changes.

Which app is best for families?

Tidied supports a shared household of up to six people with a leaderboard and per-person points, which is what tends to motivate kids. Sweepy also has household sharing and a points system. Tody's FairShare feature takes a different angle, visualising how the workload is split rather than turning it into a game.

Which app is best for roommates?

Any of the three can work. Tidied's leaderboard and points make contributions visible, which is usually the sticking point in a shared house. Tody's FairShare is designed for exactly this problem if you would rather see a split than a scoreboard.

Which app has a web version?

Tidied runs in any browser, so you can use it from a laptop or a shared family computer without installing anything. Tody and Sweepy are both mobile apps.

Why choose Tidied over other cleaning apps?

Choose Tidied if you want cleaning to feel like a game, you want everyone in the house on a shared leaderboard, and you want to use it from a browser. Choose something else if you need a native mobile app or offline access — Tidied has neither yet.
