Freelance Income Tracker: Invoices, Fees, and Take-Home on One Board
Freelance money arrives from five clients over three payment methods, and the fees and late payers hide in the gaps between them. Earnly puts every payment on one board with gross, fees, and take-home, and tracks which invoices are paid and which need a nudge.

In short
A freelance income tracker pulls every payment you receive, Stripe invoices, PayPal transfers, platform payouts, and retainers, into one board that shows gross, fees, and what you actually keep. Fees are the quiet leak: Stripe takes 2.9% plus $0.30 per card charge as published, and PayPal goods and services runs about 3.49% plus $0.49, so a $2,000 invoice never lands as exactly $2,000. Earnly shows the fee line on every payment, tracks which invoices are paid and which are overdue, and nudges you to follow up on the late ones. The payout calendar shows when a standard Stripe payout, about 2 business days in the US, should land, and the next-month forecast band, always labeled an estimate, gives you a working number for slow months. Earnly is informational analytics: it never touches your money and it is not your accountant. For a one-person business, Solo is $12 per month billed yearly.
What changes
Three things you stop doing by hand
Stop chasing invoices from memory
Lite invoicing tracks every off-platform invoice as sent, paid, or overdue, and nudges you when a client is late, so following up stops depending on your memory.
See the fee on every payment
Each Stripe or PayPal payment shows gross, processing fee, and take-home, so you know what a $2,000 invoice really nets before you spend it.
Plan around uneven months
The payout calendar shows when money should land, and the next-month forecast band, always an estimate, gives feast-and-famine income a number you can plan against.
Who this fits
Freelancers and contractors juggling several clients across Stripe, PayPal, and direct invoices who want one honest take-home number and fewer awkward payment-chasing emails.
