The product

Built for the way you actually get paid. Irregularly, optimistically, all at once.

Stop guessing what next month looks like.

Our model studies your client cadence, seasonal patterns, and late-pay tendencies — then tells you what you'll actually take home, weeks before you do.

A budget that bends, not breaks.

When a $6,000 invoice slips a week, every category quietly re-balances. No spreadsheets, no panic, no canceled plans.

Tax money you can't accidentally spend.

IncomePilot skims the right percentage off every deposit into a separate vault. Quarterly estimates show up pre-calculated.

Know your real hourly rate.

After expenses, taxes, slow weeks, and unpaid admin — see what each project actually pays. Stop underbidding the work you hate.

Peaks fund the valleys, automatically.

On a $14k month, IncomePilot routes the surplus into your smoothing reserve — so a $3k month feels like a $7k one.

An advisor that texts, not lectures.

Short, plain-language nudges before you overspend. No condescending pie charts, no shame, no $200/hr financial planner.

The mechanism

Set it up once. It does the math forever.

STEP 01

Connect your money in 4 minutes.

Link bank accounts, Stripe, PayPal, and any client platforms. Read-only, encrypted, never sold.

STEP 02

Let the model watch for 14 days.

It learns your client cycle, your spending rhythm, and which deposits are reliable vs lumpy.

STEP 03

Get a budget that updates itself.

Every deposit, refund, or late invoice triggers a quiet recalculation — no manual upkeep, ever.

Field reports

From people who used to dread Sundays.

"I've used every budgeting app on the App Store. They all assumed I get paid the same amount on the same day. IncomePilot is the first one that didn't gaslight me into thinking my income was 'wrong'."
Maya Okonkwo
Freelance UX designer · Brooklyn, NY
"The tax vault alone paid for the subscription 40x over. I used to scramble every April. Now I just transfer what the app already saved. My CPA actually asked which tool I was using."
Diego Marín
Independent video editor · Atlanta, GA
"It told me my December would be down 28% — three weeks before December. I rerouted a marketing push and ended the year flat instead of underwater. I have never gotten that from a spreadsheet."

Real objections

The questions you'd ask before signing up.

IncomePilot uses Plaid and Finicity for read-only connections — the same infrastructure used by Venmo, Robinhood, and Chime. We never see or store your bank credentials, we cannot move money, and your data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3. We're SOC 2 Type II audited. We will also never sell anonymized or aggregated data to advertisers; our business model is your subscription, full stop.

Your last quarter without a financial pit in your stomach.

14 days free. Connect in 4 minutes. Cancel in two clicks if it doesn't earn its keep.
