Of course, I do believe most of those cost money, but it might be worth it to you because some of them seem to have features where you can restrict by time and by user (i.e. you can only use it between 1 and 3 PM) or (I think) a set period of time per day.
Also, as far as scheduling chores goes, have you considered a "personal Kanban" system for your roommate? It's visual, so that might be helpful.

Basically, you set up a board (a whiteboard or whatever), and you can simply divide it into 3 columns: "To Do", "In Progress", "Complete" (or "Done").
Just get sticky notes, and write the task on the note (i.e. "Vacuum Living Room") and write the name of the person who is supposed to do it on the note.
So your card might say "Vacuum Living Room -- Blue Ginger", and your roomate's card might say, "Wash Dishes -- Sally" (name made up).
It's incremental change, so it might be beneficial to try.
