Brigit, by a dollar a month and a bigger ceiling. Not by much.
Brigit Plus is $8.99 against FrontPay's $9.99, caps at $500 instead of $100, and lands in 20 minutes for $0.99–$5.99. It is still the most expensive membership in this category after FrontPay, and it wants a 60-day account history plus three deposits from the same source before it says yes. Most users qualify for $50–$100, which is FrontPay territory anyway.
Scored on published terms as of October 2026. A draw means neither is clearly better for most people, not that they're identical.
The receipt.
What one advance costs, repaid on the next payday, with the standard free delivery and with the paid instant option. Memberships are counted once, as if this is your only advance that month.
Dollar figures from each company's published schedule; where a fee scales with the amount, the range is shown. Tips set to $0 where they're optional.

Switching from FrontPay to Brigit?
Three things people get wrong, in order.
Cancel the membership first.
FrontPay's $9.99 renews until you email them. Cancelling doesn't erase an open advance; that still comes out on payday.
How to cancel FrontPay, step by step →Don't overlap the paydays.
Take the Brigit advance on the payday after the FrontPay one has been repaid. Two auto-debits on one payday is the usual way an overdraft fee gets added to the bill.
Expect to start small.
Brigit sizes the first advance from your deposit history, not the headline number. Most new users begin well under the maximum and move up after a few on-time repayments.
Over $500?
Then it's neither.
Both of these stop at or below $500 and both take the whole amount back on one payday. A bill bigger than that needs a loan: one fixed payment a month, an end date on the contract, no membership. That is what FrontPay USA connects you with, $200 to $5,000.
Illustration at a common fair-credit APR; your offer shows your rate before you sign. Representative example: $2,500 over 12 months at 35.99% APR is $251.14 a month, $3,013.71 total.
