My honest cash advance app review
I see lots of reviews on cash advance apps. Here is my unfiltered review as someone who has used all of them over the past 6 months.
As someone who is using these on a regular basis I can give you the best ones for what I use — without the fluff. I am assuming you need the cash now. Instant transfer. Not the 1–2 day wait.
These are my invites. Tilt is first: tilt.com/r/O6FKXE — we both get $30, which covers your first 3 monthly subscriptions. EarnIn: referral.earnin.link/3bBafX — we both get $35. MoneyLion: code $sumgrids at mlion.us/$sumgrids — up to $55. Limits and fees move. What I got is what I got.
If you only pick three
I keep three on my phone when I actually need money today.
1. Tilt. They give the most and charge the least. Quick, easy, no hidden fees. I’ve been using Tilt when I need extra cash. If you qualify it’s $10–$500. Use my invite and we both earn $30 — that covers the first 3 monthly subscriptions for you.
2. EarnIn. Still great. $3.99 a transfer. On my account they cap me at $100 each time. My link — we both get $35.
3. MoneyLion. Not bad. About $8.99 per $100. Get up to $55 if you join with my code $sumgrids — mlion.us/$sumgrids.
The rest — what I actually thought
Dave
Fine if you’re in a bind. The fees are too much. They almost get $50 from you each time you cash out, and they started splitting the cashout into two. So you pay that fee twice now. I don’t start here anymore.
EarnIn
$3.99. $100 cap on my pulls. I still use this every month. If you want the $35, use this link.
Klover
I’ve been using Klover to get cash advances. They give you points for signing up, and those points help with how much you can advance. The fee is a little hefty next to Tilt, and you still have to pick up rewards to push the limit higher. Partner signups can get you the max for a few months. Through my link you can get up to $750: cash.klover.app invite.
MoneyLion
Not bad. They charge about $8.99 per $100. I use it. Join with code $sumgrids — mlion.us/$sumgrids — and you can get up to $55.
CreditGenie
They gave me a good limit to start. Fees aren’t unbearable. I only use them if I really need it.
Tilt
This is the one I send people to first. Most cash, least fee. $10–$500 if you qualify. No hidden fees. My invite — we both get $30, and that covers your first 3 monthly subscriptions.
Albert
Haven’t had luck. The most I get for a cash advance is $200, and when I do that it goes to my Albert account, then I have to transfer it to my bank, and I only get $194 in the account — plus they take a fee. Too many steps. Too much missing.
Brigit
Good. Lower amount. Minimal fee. $205 out, $207.99 back. I’ll take that math.
Super
Only gives you $100 from what I’ve had, and you have to sign up for their monthly subscription and a few other things. I never took any money from them. Too complex. Too much information. Skip.
Cleo
Decent. I’ve been able to get $300. You have to pay the monthly fee. That’s the whole review.
Grid
Good app, small money. I’ve only ever gotten $50 from them. If you need a real amount, it hasn’t helped me.
Gerald
Someone asked me about this. It sucked. I had to pay the monthly fee before I even got the estimate of my cash amount. The estimate wasn’t even good. Don’t.
Vola
Same flavor as Gerald. They made me pay the subscription first — $19.99 — then I could get a loan between $100 and $200. That was the max. Don’t recommend.
What I do
I need these every month. I start with Tilt when I need it today. EarnIn and MoneyLion are the backups. I don’t pay a subscription just to see a number. I don’t use Dave’s split cashout. I don’t wait in Albert’s extra transfer to lose six bucks on the way to my bank.
I’ll keep updating this as I try more.
EarnIn — $35 · MoneyLion — $sumgrids · Klover — up to $750
Got a question? I’m on X. I’ll try to answer them.
