Brigit

Value score / 100 Worth paying? No Skip it

Brigit can be a quick source of small cash advances for emergencies, but it is plagued by high subscription fees, persistent billing issues, and low, unchanging advance limits that often make it not worth the cost.

Free to download seen up to $800 4.8★ lifetime (520,371) since 2018

Brigit offers quick cash advances with no interest, which many users find helpful for emergencies R7R29. However, a significant number of users report issues with unexpected charges, difficulty canceling subscriptions, and low cash advance limits that do not increase over time, making the recurring fees feel unjustified R27R45R86.

Free vs paid

Brigit is advertised as 'Free' but many core features, specifically cash advances, require a paid subscription R54. Users report being charged monthly subscription fees, such as $8.99 or $15.99, to access advances, even if the advance amount is very low R18. There are numerous complaints about being charged for a membership without clear consent or after cancellation R27R37R45.

Worth paying if

It might be worth paying if you consistently need very small, no-interest cash advances quickly and are confident you can manage the subscription without unexpected charges R7R29.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying for Brigit if you expect high cash advance limits, are concerned about recurring charges after cancellation, or need quick processing for repayments and new advances R5R21R84. Many users find the subscription fee too high for the small advances received R86.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating is very high, but recent negative reviews frequently cite issues with unexpected charges, low advance limits, and slow processing, which are not reflected in the overall high rating. The price points seen include $0, but many reviews indicate a mandatory subscription for cash advances.

  1. [R27] 1/5 · US Hidden charges: I thought this was a great app until I was randomly charged $39 for a Bright Membership. It doesn’t show any information on where the charge is from or what it’s for. They don’t have any real people to get in contact with immediately. Use at your own risk. I believe it’s false advertising and doesn’t fully support when you have an issue. I don’t like having money taken for no reaso
  2. [R37] 1/5 · US Don’t use this guys just took money from me without me ever having a membership with them: Scam
  3. [R45] 1/5 · US Don’t do it: Keep charging you after you CANCLE the services
  4. [R59] 1/5 · US Don’t trust this app!!!: They changed their service plan and charged my account without permission for years I seen my bank statement and stole hundreds over the multiple years!! My bank account was connected so they kept charging without any permission and the subscription never showed up besides when it comes out of my bank!! Don’t make the same mistakes in trusting this shady company they had t
  5. [R1] 5/5 · US Love Brigit!: This app has been very helpful! Although I haven’t been able to get passed the $50 mark even though my income fluctuates due to me being a caregiver and I work different hours. I still can always count on having an extra $50 every 2 weeks lol
  6. [R4] 3/5 · US My issues: Disconnects from bank a lot and I use the same debit all the time yet most the time it never verifies it and I have to wait the two days. Even tho it’s been verified before. Also borrow limit is always the same. Has never increased
  7. [R6] 3/5 · US Limited: I’ve been with Brigit for a few years now with no issues and they still haven’t increased my cash advance limit above $70
  8. [R14] 2/5 · US Review: It’s cool it just take to long to get a raise !
  9. [R5] 1/5 · US EXTREMELY PREDATORY: This app preys upon the unintelligent, the desperate, and I 100% fell for it after seeing an ad on Hulu. Find a better way to get money if you need it that badly. I’m not going to waste my time typing a review that’s going to be hidden by a bunch of fake positive reviews. To put it in a nutshell Brigit is trying to catch fish. Big fish, small fish it doesn’t care. Once the lur
  10. [R21] 1/5 · US Stay away: This is called modern day slavery. This is just a debt trap. Stay away.
  11. [R54] 1/5 · US DONT DOWNLOAD: It let you borrow but with aubscription? For what? Of the wants to help then it will just lend! And cash advances fee? They just wanted to get the money fast lol. And they loans link, try it if you want. Be ready to receive spams lol
  12. [R65] 1/5 · US scam: they will give you the cash advance then will charge you with random stuff, so from me getting a 25$ cash advance i got charged 60$ in total. also the customer service sucks it takes forever for them to respond and they only do it by email
  13. [R2] 3/5 · US Briget: Takes a too long to process the repayment especially when I need to borrow the money again thru tough times and I need it sooner. You take too long. Just my opinion.
  14. [R51] 2/5 · US Not worth it: slow to update and eligibility never changes.: Of all these garbage cash advance apps this is definitely not the best of the bunch. On time payments take forever to “process” and as usual their support just reads from a script and they can’t really help you aside from changing due dates of payments. Doesn’t matter if your bank posts the payment, their “system” takes 2-5 business days
  15. [R82] 1/5 · US takes too long to repay: if it didn’t take a week to process the repayment this would be the top app
  16. [R84] 1/5 · US Disappointed: Way too many issues with processing and random charges I really don't recommend this app. The processing times are absolutely ridiculous. When you pay back your advance, they say it takes 2 to 5 days, but for me, it literally takes a whole week just to clear my account so I can use it again. On top of that, they take your money whenever they want. Last time, my due date was set for M
  17. [R41] 4/5 · US Nice to have a parachute if something comes up.: I love having the advance but for whatever reason I’ve never been able to get my debit card to verify so instant cash isn’t possible.
  18. [R47] 1/5 · US Do not get this app: Won’t let me login in after adding my bank and card numbers AND I MADE SURE TO SCREEN RECORD IF YOU WANT THE VIDEO MAKE SURE TO REPLY TO THIS COMMENT AND ILL SEND IT
  19. [R62] 1/5 · US Thee worst: I’ve tried several times to connect to my bank and each time it says they can’t connect even though they use plaid a platform that works for other apps. This app is terrible. Would give 0 stars if I could.
  20. [R78] 1/5 · US Brigit advertising: The commercial dude says can I borrow $100 to his friend and says please I lost my job. His friends say go to Brigit and get the loan. So the question is Brigit are you loaning to people with no job and pay stubs? Because every time I apply for a loan with Brigit they wanna see direct deposit from jobs Just another mortgage application if you ask me. And this sounds like
  21. [R92] 1/5 · US Luv6500: I’ve been trying to get a cash advance from this company for a very long time for a couple years and every time I turn around, they always say I don’t qualify. I get income . why you keep turning me down? I just don’t wanna do this anymore. This don’t make no sense but yeah I qualify for Cleo. Are you serious please? Every time I try to apply to waste of my time and keep this app!!!!
  22. [R101] 1/5 · US Worst app ever: This is the worst app to think you’re going to actually get help, whole time they want you to have money basically there and link 4 different accounts just because one isn’t up to their standards. I DONT HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS AND IF I HAE A FIXED INCOME WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED YOU SEE THE DEPOSIT
  23. [R7] 5/5 · US Help: The fastest way to get an advance with no interest.
  24. [R8] 5/5 · US The best thing since sliced bread: Brigit has been supporting me for years and years. Super clutch in the moments that I did not know I needed it the most.
  25. [R11] 5/5 · US This is an awesome: This app is great when you get into a financial bind one click and it’s in your account. Thanks.Brigit
  26. [R24] 5/5 · US Cash advance: This app is life saving !
  27. [R29] 5/5 · US A blessing during hard times: I’m incredibly grateful for this 0% interest loan. It came through at a time when I needed financial help the most, and the process was straightforward and much less stressful than I expected. Having access to funds without paying interest made a huge difference and gave me the breathing room I needed to get back on track. It truly felt like a blessing during a diffic
  28. [R86] 3/5 · US It’s very meh: I had this app for over a year and never was approved for anything more than $85. I always paid on time. Basically worthless to pay so much money a month for that.
  29. [R18] 3/5 · US Stop taking extra money: Not a bad loan app, but you keep switching my monthly plan randomly from the $8.99 to the $15.99 and its startin to piss me off.
  30. [R44] 1/5 · US Bad app: this app is extremely difficult to navigate. Back in 2023 there was also a lawsuit from the FTC against this app for deceptive advertising and misleading customers for how much money they can actually obtain.
