Questions, answered honestly
Reva hasn't launched yet, so some of these answers are short. Where the honest answer is "not yet," that's what we say.
When does Reva launch?
Reva is being built now. Invites will go out in small batches through the waitlist, and there's no firm public date beyond 2026. The waitlist hears first.
Will it be free?
Yes — free to start. An optional subscription may later add depth, but the core loop is never paywalled.
Do I have to link my bank?
No. Manual income entry — including cash — is first-class, and the forecast works with whatever you give it. Bank linking arrives later as an optional upgrade.
Is the forecast guaranteed?
No, and you should distrust anyone who guarantees one. Reva's forecast is always a range, labeled provisional at first and tightening as it learns you. It is never financial advice.
What makes Reva different from a budgeting app?
Budgets grade the past; Reva is being built to forecast what's about to happen. It keeps what you'll earn and what's yours to spend as two separate numbers, plus one amount that's safe to spend today.
Is the score a credit score?
No. The trajectory score reflects your habits, never your wealth or creditworthiness. Identical habits score identically at any bank balance.
What do you do with my data?
Every use of your data needs your permission, purpose by purpose, and you can revoke it at any time. It's never sold, and you can export or delete everything whenever you want. Today the only data we hold is the waitlist — the privacy page covers exactly how it's handled.
Who is building Reva?
Reva is an independent effort, built in the open. Progress posts go up on the updates page.
