When Earned is a fit

Just The Tips has been around for years and is known for customization and reporting. Earned is intentionally more direct: save the shift, remember tip-out, and see what that shift was actually worth.

Fast after-shift logging

Card tips, cash tips, hours, sales, tip-out, and notes in one focused flow.

True hourly value

Compare shifts by what you kept and the time it took, not just gross tips.

Calendar history

See paid days and patterns without building a spreadsheet after close.

Quick comparison

Just The Tips

A mature tip tracker with customizable jobs, reports, and a long history in the service industry.

Spreadsheet or Notes

Good if you want full control, but easy to forget after a double and manual if you want tip-out or hourly math.

Earned

Best fit if you want a simple iPhone habit for logging tips, sales, hours, tip-out, and what each shift was really worth.

Not every worker needs the same tracker. The right one is the one you will still use when you are tired after close.

Try the math before the app

If you are not ready to switch apps, start with Earned's free calculators. They are built around the same questions servers and bartenders ask after a shift: what did I keep, what went to tip-out, and what was the real hourly pace?
