Yes. Kronos was designed first for handymen. The pay-advance underwriting reads Thumbtack, Angi, Stripe, ACH directly, the savings rate (2.5% APY on Pro) compounds on whatever you set aside between gigs, and the in-app crypto trading lets you DCA without juggling a separate exchange.
Free tier advances $250. Kronos Pro ($9.99/month) advances $1,000 once you have a verified deposit history. Repaid automatically from your next Thumbtack deposit.
No interest on Kronos Pro advances. No credit check at any point in onboarding or advance underwriting — bank-link verification is via Plaid, not the credit bureaus.
On the Earnings tab, link the bank account that Thumbtack pays into. Plaid pulls the deposit history and Kronos auto-tags Thumbtack payouts going forward.
Banking and pay advances are available in all 50 states. Crypto trading is gated to states where partner Bridge holds money-transmitter coverage; the current denylist is conservative (NY, HI, TX, LA, WA, VT, NH, AL).
