Income tracker FAQ

Earnly tracks payouts from 12+ platforms creators and sellers actually use: YouTube, Twitch, Etsy, Gumroad, Patreon, Stripe, PayPal, Ko-fi, Substack, Amazon, Shopify, and Teachable, plus manual sources and invoices for anything off-platform like sponsorships. Every source lands on the same board as a gross, fees, take-home row, normalized to your currency. If tracking several sources at once is the whole reason you are here, our multi-platform income tracker page walks through how the combined board works.

No. Earnly is read-only analytics: it reads the export files you upload and the figures you enter, and lines them up. It is not a bank, a payment processor, or a lender. It never holds, moves, or touches your money, it never asks for your bank login or your platform passwords, and it does not connect to your bank or card accounts.

Two ways, both on your board. Upload the CSV export each platform already offers: YouTube Studio or AdSense, the Etsy monthly statement, Stripe balance activity, PayPal activity, Gumroad, Patreon and Twitch files are recognized automatically, and any other CSV (Shopify, Amazon, Ko-fi, Substack, Teachable and the rest) works once you pick its date and amount columns. Or type a month's gross and fees by hand. Each source has a short guide to where its export lives. Earnly does not log in to your platform accounts or pull from them on a schedule, so a new month arrives when you upload it.

No. Earnly is an informational analytics tool. It does not provide financial, accounting, or tax advice. Figures shown are estimates based on the data and platform fee schedules available to us, so always confirm against your platform statements, and talk to a tax professional about your specific situation.

Through visibility, not lending. Earnly shows exactly when each platform pays (YouTube around the 21st, Twitch around the 15th, Etsy after your threshold), flags payouts stuck below a platform minimum, and nudges you when an invoice is overdue so you can chase it. It is not invoice factoring, not an advance, and never a loan; there is no fee taken from your money because Earnly never touches your money.

Fee breakdowns follow each platform's published fee schedule applied to your reported sales, and the forecast band is built from your own trailing months and seasonality. Both are estimates and are labeled as estimates in the product. If a platform changes its fees or your mix shifts, the numbers move; always confirm against your platform statements.

The interactive board on the homepage is the free taste: it walks the full product on sample profiles or on your own numbers, no account needed. Paid-only pricing keeps Earnly funded by its users, with no ads and no selling of data. Solo is $49 per month, or $24 per month billed yearly, which saves 50 percent.

You confirm your email with a 4-digit code and your account opens straight away. The free demo works out gross, fees and take-home on last month's numbers from up to three platforms. Pick a plan and your board opens the moment the payment goes through: add your sources, record recent months, and the payout calendar, reports and alerts fill in. The private link also arrives by email, so there is no setup call and nothing to install.

Yes. Record a payout in the currency it arrived in, with the conversion rate from your own statement, and the board totals everything in one currency. Each converted line shows the original amount and the rate used, for example 450.00 EUR at 1.08. Earnly never invents an exchange rate, so the totals match what your bank or platform actually paid.

Yes. The Studio plan ($49 per month billed yearly, $99 monthly) adds a multi-creator rollup: every creator's sources on one board with per-creator take-home, client-ready reports, and fee-leakage flags across the roster. Creator networks with a bigger team use the Enterprise plan: everything in Studio with 25 seats.
