# Obedience App Review 2026: Features, Pricing, and Who It Fits > An honest review of the Obedience app: habits, points, stats, what the free tier limits, what Premium costs for a couple, and where the gaps are. Source: https://getkneel.com/blog/obedience-app-review Published: 2026-08-24 Last updated: 2026-08-25 --- > The **Obedience app** is a D/s task tracker built around habits, points, and stats, with web access and an established community. Premium is **$6.99/month or $29.99/year per person**, and both partners need their own subscription, so a couple pays about **$60/year**. It handles tasks and rewards well, and it supports unlimited partners. It does not advertise timed consequences, a contract builder, or dedicated chastity and wellness tracking. > We build [Kneel](/), which competes with Obedience, so read this with that in mind. We have tried to be accurate about what Obedience does and fair about what it does well. If you want the switching guide rather than the review, we have a separate piece on [Obedience alternatives](/blog/obedience-app-alternative). ## What Is the Obedience App? Obedience is an established app built specifically for D/s dynamics. It covers the fundamentals: a dominant assigns habits and tasks, the submissive completes them, points accrue, and stats build over time. That is a real product doing a real job. Running a [power exchange dynamic](/blog/understanding-power-exchange) through a shared notes app is worse than running it through Obedience, and a lot of couples do exactly that before they find a dedicated tool. Its official site reports more than one million downloads and a 4.5 average rating. ## Obedience Key Features - Habit and task assignment - Points system with rewards - Streaks - Partner connectivity - Photo proof (Premium) - Discreet app icon and passcode lock (Premium) - Categories (Premium) - Web access alongside mobile ## Obedience Pricing in 2026 | | Per person | For a couple | | --- | --- | --- | | **Monthly** | $6.99 | $13.98 | | **3 months** | $14.99 | about $30 | | **Annual** | $29.99 | about $60 | The [official Obedience Premium page](https://obedienceapp.com/premium) states that **both partners need their own subscription**. A single person paying $29.99 does not unlock the dynamic for both of you. There is a free tier. It limits you to **5 habits per submissive**, with no photo proof and no passcode. For couples doing straightforward task tracking, about $60/year is competitive, and cheaper annually than most alternatives. ## Where Obedience Is Strong **Established community.** The official site reports more than one million downloads. **Web access.** Not every D/s app has a browser version. If you want to assign tasks from a laptop, Obedience does that. **Simpler learning curve.** Fewer concepts to hold in your head. Habits, points, stats. You can be running within minutes, which matters when you are introducing a partner to the idea of an app at all. **The annual price is low** if task tracking is all you need. ## Where the Gaps Are These are the things couples most often hit after a few months. **Punishments, but no timers advertised.** Obedience advertises points, rewards, and punishments. Its public pages do not list timed consequences or restriction periods, so a punishment that is meant to run for three days has nowhere to live. **Rules and notes, but no contract builder advertised.** Obedience has rules, limits, and notes sections. Its public pages do not list contract signing or versioning, so an agreement both of you sign stays outside the app. **Chastity needs a second app.** Couples practising chastity need lock and unlock tracking, check-ins, and release requests. Obedience does not advertise any of that. See our [chastity app comparison](/blog/chastity-app) if that is you. **No wellness tracking advertised.** Obedience does not advertise daily mood check-ins or emotional monitoring. For a dynamic with real power exchange in it, that absence is worth thinking about. **Free tier is tight.** 5 habits and no photo proof means the free version is closer to a demo than a working setup. ## Obedience vs Kneel: The Honest Version | | Obedience | Kneel | | --- | --- | --- | | Tasks, habits, points, stats | Yes | Yes | | Consequences | Punishments and points; no timers advertised | Full system with timers and restrictions | | Contracts | No dedicated builder advertised | Yes | | Chastity tracking | No dedicated feature advertised | Yes | | Wellness check-ins | No dedicated feature advertised | Yes | | Multiple dynamics | Yes, unlimited partners | Yes (Premium, more via add-on) | | Web version | Yes | No, native apps only | | Who pays | Both partners | One subscription covers both | | Monthly, couple | $13.98 | $9.99 | | Annual, couple | about $60 | $79.99 | **The trade is clear.** Monthly, Kneel is $3.99 cheaper for a couple. Annually, Kneel costs about $20 more and includes consequences, contracts, chastity, and wellness tracking. Obedience is cheaper annually and has a web version, which Kneel does not. If task tracking is what you want, that $20 is not worth paying. If your dynamic has grown past tasks, it is. ## Who Should Use Obedience - Couples who want task tracking and nothing more - Anyone who needs a web version - People new to D/s apps who want the shortest learning curve - Couples who want the cheapest annual option ## Who Should Look Elsewhere - Couples who want timed consequences beyond points - Anyone practising [chastity](/blog/flr-chastity) who does not want a second app - Couples who want a written [contract](/blog/flr-contract) - Anyone who wants wellness and mood tracking alongside the dynamic Full switching guide: [Obedience app alternatives](/blog/obedience-app-alternative). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How much does the Obedience app cost?
