AuPairSync vs. OurHome
Both apps help families get organized — but for very different use cases. Here is the direct comparison.
Different Audiences, Different Strengths
OurHome was built to gamify household chores for family members — especially children — using points, rewards, and a friendly interface. AuPairSync was built for households with an au pair: it includes working hours tracking, secure document storage, task-linked communication, and a multilingual interface. Neither app is objectively "better" — they solve different problems.

When OurHome Is the Right Choice
OurHome is a good fit for families who want to gamify household duties for their own children. If your au pair mainly does tasks with kids and you do not need au pair-specific coordination features, OurHome can work. It also supports Android, which AuPairSync currently does not.
When AuPairSync Is the Right Choice
AuPairSync is the right choice when you need to track working hours, share documents securely, create tasks with photo instructions, and use an app that works for both you and your au pair in English and German.
