Earnly vs TipBud Tip Tracker for Servers

Keep what you earn. Earnly is a tip tracker built specifically for bartenders — by people who know the work. Track every shift, every tip-out, and your estimated No Tax on Tips deduction. Get CPA-ready tax exports when April rolls around. No ads, ever. WHY EARNLY Most tip trackers are built for "any tipped worker" and end up serving none of them well. Earnly is different. It handles the way bartenders actually work — multiple roles in one shift (bartender + barback), rule-based tip-outs to bussers and barbacks, multiple workplaces with separate hourly rates, and tracking the difference between what you earned and what you actually take home. WHAT YOU GET (FREE) - Track every shift with hourly wage, tips, tip-outs, and take-home - Automatic tip-out rules - Schedule patterns that pre-fill your usual shifts - Goals with pace tracking and "ahead/behind" insights - Audit trail on every edit - Cloud sync across devices when you sign in (free, anonymous-first) EARNLY PRO ($4.99/mo or $29.99/yr) - Tax Export — CPA-ready PDF and CSV reports for every tax year - No Tax on Tips deduction tracker — see an estimate of how much you can deduct under the federal No Tax on Tips Act (up to $25,000/year) - Unlimited workplaces and unlimited roles per workplace - Multi-role shifts — bartender + barback in a single entry, with separate rates and tip-outs - Safe Budget — your forward-looking financial picture PRIVACY & NO ADS Earnly is ad-free. We don't sell your data. We don't show you "personalized offers." Your shifts, tips, and earnings are yours. MADE FOR BARTENDERS Built by an indie developer with a bartender wife who lives this every shift. Earnly will keep getting better — and bartenders will always be the user we design for first.

TipBud is the tip tracker for servers and bartenders: log a shift in ten seconds, see your true hourly rate, and keep a history that syncs between your iPhone and iPad with no account. TipBud logs a shift in about ten seconds and shows your true hourly rate: wages + tips − tip-outs. And your history survives anything — private iCloud backup, CSV export, no account, no ads. Built for servers, bartenders, baristas, and anyone who works for tips. WHY TIPPED WORKERS SWITCH TO TIPBUD • Ten-second shift entry that learns your patterns — it fills in your usual Saturday, you just fix the numbers • True hourly rate on every shift and every week (wage + tips − tip-outs ÷ hours) • Tip-out rules per job — busser 2%, bar 1.5%? Set it once, it's computed every shift • Your month on a calendar, night by night, with a tap-any-day breakdown • Home screen that knows you: last night's take-home, week trend, month pace, and what your best weekday actually pays • Weekly recap on YOUR pay week, not the calendar's • Home-screen widget — last shift and your week, at a glance • Cash vs card split, day-of-week averages, personal bests • Multiple jobs with separate wages — all included, nothing extra to buy • New U.S. federal tip deduction (2025–2028): keep the daily tip log the IRS expects, export it any time • CSV export, always — your tips are your data • Switching apps? Import your history from a CSV in minutes • Private iCloud sync + backup files — no account, no login, nothing to lose • Face ID app lock — your money stays your business • Share a night as a clean card — with a $-hidden mode that shows the shape, never the dollars • Optional reminders computed from your own history, off by default • Light, dark, or system appearance — and built to respect your text-size settings ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER Your first 14 shifts include every feature, nothing held back. After that, a single one-time unlock keeps TipBud yours for good — no subscription, no ads, ever. And your history stays viewable and exportable even if you never buy. No account. No tracking. Just your tips, added up honestly.
