Never run out of money before payday again.
One number tells you what's safe to spend today — and every day until payday.
It works for every kind of paycheck — monthly, weekly, fortnightly, or irregular — recalculated from your real balance every day, so you're never guessing.
Currently in private beta. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you the moment your spot opens up.
Payday feels further away every month — until you know what you can safely spend.
Most budgeting apps track what you spent. PayStretcher tells you what you can spend — right now, today, without putting you at risk of running short before payday.

What people are saying.
Real feedback from PayStretcher beta users.
I used to dread checking my bank account. Now I open PayStretcher every morning and actually feel in control. Three months in and I've reached payday with money left every single time.

London, United Kingdom
As a freelancer my income is all over the place. The irregular earner mode changed everything — I finally have a daily number to work with no matter what I earned last week.
David C. · 31
Toronto, Canada
I was skeptical about another budgeting app but this one actually sticks. It's the only one simple enough that I check it every day without thinking about it.
Zanele M. · 34

Paid bi-weekly and always confused about where my money went. PayStretcher sorted that out in the first week. My wife thought I got a raise.

La app que siempre necesité. Saber exactamente cuánto puedo gastar hoy sin quedarme sin dinero antes de quincena es un alivio enorme.
Ana R. · 26

I run a small business and my income varies every month. The stretch target feature lets me plan properly even when I don't know exactly when my next payment comes in.

Pora's morning message keeps me accountable. It's like having a financial coach in my pocket who actually knows my situation and doesn't judge me.
Michelle L. · 38

I'm 22 and nobody taught me how to manage money. PayStretcher is the first thing that actually made it click. I haven't overdrafted once since I started using it.

After my divorce I was managing money alone for the first time in 15 years. This app gave me confidence I didn't know I could get back.

I told all my colleagues about this. Three of them downloaded it the same day. We all compare our stretch confidence scores now.

A mis 54 años pensé que ya era muy tarde para cambiar mis hábitos financieros. Esta app me demostró que no lo es.

Gig economy life means feast or famine. PayStretcher is the first tool I've found that actually handles the irregular income problem instead of pretending everyone gets paid on the 25th.
