Questions, answered.

Is Hindsight out yet? Not yet. It's coming soon. Join the waitlist and tell us which features matter most; that decides what we build first.

Do you recommend credit cards? No. Hindsight shows which of your cards, or which kind of card, fits how you spend. Whether to get a card, and which one, is your call.

Do banks pay to appear? No bank pays to be ranked. The order comes from your own spending and each card's published rules, and the working is shown.

Is it telling me what to do? No. Think of it as a coach holding up your own numbers. It doesn't give investment advice.

How does it know what I spend? It reads the bank SMS and notifications on your phone. No bank password and no bank login.

Where does my data go? Your data stays on your phone. The comparison runs there too.

What does "wrong card" mean? When you pay with a card that earns less than another card in your own wallet would have, Hindsight tells you, with the two amounts side by side.

Which cards will it know? We'll say when we launch. The card names on this page are invented placeholders.

Next month,
