“This app beats Greenlight by far! Love the many options this app provides, like the chores and MBX where they can cash in. It also alerts me when they spend money.”

“Nothing like Greenlight where they charge a ridiculous subscription fee. Modak makes it easy to transfer money to my kids and gets them walking for those MBX points.”
