Apps Like Brigit: 12 Cash Advance Apps and What They Cost Next to Brigit

Brigit's Instant Cash advances $25 to $500 ($250 in Maine), and Brigit says most people qualify for $50 to $100. Most people pay its Plus membership, listed at $8.99 a month in its help center (its terms give a range of $5.99 to $9.99). Express delivery costs $0.99 to $5.99, depending on the amount, and is free on Premium at $15.99 a month. Brigit's terms also let you ask for an advance without a membership by email. For $100 repaid in 14 days, Brigit costs $6.98–$15.98 sent instantly, membership included, or $5.99–$9.99 at standard speed.

Here's what 12 other cash advance apps charge for the same advance, worked out from each company's own pricing pages, terms and help center, checked on October 30, 2026. Where an app's own pages disagree, or it publishes only a range, we show the range.

What $100 and $200 Cost Next to Brigit

Repaid in 14 days, counting one month of membership where most people pay one to get advances, and before any tip. Sorted by the most each app could charge for $100 sent instantly to your bank.

• For $100 sent instantly, EarnIn, Albert and Chime cost less than Brigit once memberships are counted.
• For $200, Albert and Chime cost less than Brigit's $6.98–$15.98.
• If Brigit waives its membership, it costs $0.99–$5.99 for $100 sent instantly.
• At standard speed EarnIn, MoneyLion, Albert, Klover, Chime and Current cost nothing, while Brigit costs $5.99–$9.99 with its membership.
• Chime, Varo, Current and Cash App pay only into their own accounts, so their instant price assumes you bank with them.

Why People Look for a Brigit Alternative

• You'd rather not pay a membership. Brigit pairs advances with Plus unless you email to ask for one without it. EarnIn, MoneyLion, Albert, Klover, Chime, Cash App, Varo and Current don't charge a membership for advances.
• You want to know the express fee before you sign up. Brigit publishes only its $0.99 to $5.99 range. Dave, EarnIn, MoneyLion, Tilt, Albert, Klover, Chime and FloatMe publish their instant fee for each amount (Klover lists a maximum).
• You need more than $100. Brigit says most people qualify for $50 to $100, and its average advance has been about $72. Averages reported elsewhere run higher: about $215 at Dave, $195 at Varo, about $170 at Klover and $178 for Tilt's returning customers.
• You live in Maine. Brigit caps advances at $250 there, and Tilt, Cleo and Chime aren't offered in Maine at all.

What Brigit Costs on Each Plan

A $100 advance repaid in 14 days, sent by express delivery, on each way of using Brigit. Standard delivery is free on every plan.

• Express delivery usually arrives in about 20 minutes and goes to the debit card of your linked checking account; standard delivery takes 1 to 3 business days.
• Brigit sends one advance at a time and takes repayment on the due date you pick, typically your next payday; extensions use credits.
• You need at least three recurring deposits from the same source, 60 days of account history and a balance above $0. Brigit says it doesn't look at your credit score.
• No interest, tips or late fees. Brigit's line of credit is a separate product with a $15 monthly fee.

Legal status: Brigit agreed to an FTC order in November 2023 that required $18 million in refunds; the FTC sent a second round of payments in May 2026. Minnesota's attorney general sued Brigit in June 2026 under the state's payday lending law; the case is pending.
