Comparison

Homie vs Sortifyd

An Honest Comparison

Sortifyd is an all-in-one life organizer with a strong focus on documents, security, and comprehensive family management. It includes calendars, tasks, meal planning, habit tracking, expense tracking, and even location sharing. If you need document storage and detailed permissions, Sortifyd offers that. If you want a simpler, faster experience focused on the daily essentials, Homie might be the better fit.

This is an honest comparison of paid plans — Homie and Sortifyd Family Plus ($59.99/year). Sortifyd has a free tier with ads and device limits, which we'll note where relevant.

Different philosophies

Sortifyd is a comprehensive "super app" — it tries to be everything for everyone. Individual accounts, granular permissions, document storage with encryption, expense tracking, location sharing, habit tracking, journaling, and more. It's powerful if you need all of that.

Homie takes a different approach: one shared account that works like a family whiteboard. Everyone sees everything. No permissions to configure, no individual logins to manage. Just open it and go. For families who want quick access without friction, this simplicity is the feature.

Sortifyd has habit tracking with streaks, but not structured routine checklists. Homie treats routines as organized sequences — "Morning routine" contains brush teeth, make bed, pack backpack — that you check off in order.

Two philosophies: Sortifyd gives each family member their own account with configurable permissions. Homie uses one shared account like a family whiteboard — everyone sees everything, no friction. Choose based on whether you need privacy controls or prefer instant access.
