Cadie vs Tody
Both keep the housework from piling up. Tody tracks cleaning room by room and shows what's due; Cadie takes everything on your mind, chores and the rest, and lays it out across the week.
Updated 5 November 2026 · Cadie is our app. We've tried to be fair to the others, and we say where Cadie falls short.
The short answer
Choose Tody if cleaning is the whole job: you want each room's tasks to come round when they're due, and you may share the cleaning with others at home.
Choose Cadie if the problem is the week: chores, the gym, groceries, calling Mum and a to-do or two all need a day, around your work and sleep. Cadie plans it from one list, and the planning is free.
Side by side
| Cadie | Tody | |
|---|---|---|
| How you start | Type or say everything at once; Cadie asks a couple of questions | Add rooms, then cleaning tasks and how often each needs doing |
| What it plans | Your whole week: chores, habits and errands, each on a day and a time | Cleaning tasks per room, shown as due or not yet due |
| Fixed days | Yes: bins on Tuesday stay on Tuesday | Tasks come round by how often they need doing, not by weekday |
| Beyond cleaning | The gym, reading, calling family, any routine | Cleaning and home care |
| One-off to-dos | A separate list with dates and reminders | Not its focus |
| When the day runs away | Rescue my day moves what's left to calmer days | Overdue tasks stay due until you do them |
| AI | Optional: 1 AI-planned week free, more with Pro; the built-in planner is always free | No |
| Sharing a home | No: one person's week on one phone | Yes, a household can share it |
| Platforms | iPhone and Android | iPhone and Android |
| Price | Free; Pro is $7.99 a month or $49.99 a year | A one-time purchase, $6.99 on iPhone |

How each one plans
Tody is built around rooms. You add the kitchen, the bathroom and the rest, give each cleaning task a rhythm, and Tody shows which ones are due. Nothing has a fixed day: when the bathroom is due, it's due, and you choose when to do it. That suits people who clean a little every day and want a clear view of what needs attention.
Cadie is built around the week. You write the list the way it comes to you, like “laundry twice a week, bins out Tuesday night, gym three times, groceries at the weekend”, and Cadie gives each thing a day and a time that fits your work and sleep, spreading the load so no day piles up. Today then shows just today, and you stamp each thing done.
Where Cadie falls short
- Cadie plans one person's week. If you want to split chores with a partner or housemates in the same app, Tody suits you better.
- Cadie plans weekly rhythms. Jobs that come round every few months, like cleaning the oven, go on Cadie's to-do list with a date rather than repeating on their own.
- The built-in planner reads lists written in English; Cadie's AI understands every language the app speaks.
Where Tody falls short
- It plans the cleaning, not the week: the gym, errands and everything else live somewhere else.
- Due tasks aren't given a day, so a busy week can still end with everything due at once.
Can you use both?
Yes. Some people keep Tody for room-by-room cleaning and use Cadie for the rest of the week. If you do, leave the cleaning out of Cadie's list so the two don't double up. See how the chore planner works.
