DayGist vs Tiller

Tiller puts your finances in a spreadsheet and emails you a daily summary. DayGist skips the spreadsheet and texts you your balances once a day.

Tiller pulls your bank balances and transactions into a Google Sheets or Excel file you own, with templates for budgeting. Its subscription includes Hello, Money, a daily email with recent balances and new transactions; by default it shows account refresh status, and balances and transactions are turned on in Tiller's settings. Tiller lists its price as $99/year, annual plan only, after a 30-day free trial (October 2026).

Why people switch to DayGist

• •If the daily email is the part of Tiller you actually read, DayGist is that part on its own, as a text, for less than half the yearly price ($44.99 vs. $99).
• •A text shows up in your messages, not in an inbox next to newsletters and receipts. One glance, no email to open.
• •Tiller is built to keep your history: every transaction lands in your spreadsheet. DayGist keeps nothing. Balances are fetched, texted, and discarded.
• •If you want budgets, categories, and a spreadsheet to work in, Tiller is the better tool. DayGist doesn't do any of that, on purpose.
