HomeHQ vs Skylight Calendar.

The most asked comparison in this category. Skylight has the hardware lead and a million-plus families using it. HomeHQ runs on the iPad you already own, for a fraction of the 3-year cost.

Choose Skylight if you specifically want a 10" or 15" touchscreen that ships ready-to-mount and you don't mind paying $458 in year one.

Choose HomeHQ if you already have an iPad and want to save $300–$700 — the same shared calendar, chores, and meals, built on the Google Calendar your family already uses.

Choose Skylight if…

• →You want a touchscreen device that arrives ready-to-mount in a single box.
• →You don't already own an iPad, and you'd rather buy hardware than mount a tablet.
• →You like the chore rewards system Skylight has spent years refining.
• →A 15" screen size matters to you more than a Retina iPad display.

Choose HomeHQ if…

• →You already have an iPad you can mount in the kitchen.
• →You want chores with points, a weekly recap, and meal planning on the same screen.
• →You're cost-conscious and would rather save $250–$700 in year one.
• →You want the school flyer scanned into the calendar without the photo leaving your phone — included, not part of a $79/yr add-on.
• →You want the calendar on every iPhone, kept in sync because it's your Google calendar — with a native Android app on the way.
