| Feature | OurHome | BravoPoints |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | $2.49 CAD/month or $19 CAD/year; 30-day free trial, no credit card |
| Development | Long-standing but slow-moving; users report dated UI and sync issues | Actively developed; the subscription funds maintenance and support |
| French support | English-first; limited or no French | Fully bilingual English + Canadian French — interface, child view, emails, checkout, legal pages |
