Fees range very widely by app, and I wanted to make it easier for people with already-stretched finances to find the lowest cost products. Finally cleaned it up enough to make public.<\/p>\n<p>35 apps, covering advance ranges, subscription vs. tip-based models, state availability, and a few other fields. CSV and JSON, CC-BY licensed, updated periodically as terms change (fintech fee structures shift more than you&#8217;d think).<\/p>\n<p>Live on Hugging Face: <a href=\"https:\/\/huggingface.co\/datasets\/overdraftapps\/cash-advance-apps\">https:\/\/huggingface.co\/datasets\/overdraftapps\/cash-advance-apps<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure, I run a cash advance comparison site and this data feeds into it, methodology and a bit more context is linked in the dataset card if anyone wants the full picture. Happy to answer questions about specific fields or how anything was sourced. If anyone finds a fee that&#8217;s changed since I last verified it, genuinely tell me, half of these apps update pricing with zero announcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Money_Seaweed_1895\"> \/u\/Money_Seaweed_1895 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1vy9y1n\/i_scrapedtracked_35_us_cash_advance_apps_fees_and\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1vy9y1n\/i_scrapedtracked_35_us_cash_advance_apps_fees_and\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-42201 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='42201' data-nonce='9de69db8d5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-42201 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-42201 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been maintaining a spreadsheet on cash advance apps (Dave, Earnin, Brigit, MoneyLion, etc.) for a side project&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-datatards","wpcat-85-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42201\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
