Straight answers.

Because it's a tool, not a content site. Keeping the data accurate means regular verification against government sources, fast turnaround when rates change, and infrastructure that doesn't go down on the day a new BAH table drops. The free guides out there are fine for browsing. Benefitry is what you open when you actually need the number.

No. Benefitry is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any government agency. We are informational software. We pull numbers from public government sources and do the math for you.

Every figure links to its government source, and our rate data is version-controlled, so every change to a published rate is tracked and dated. If you find a wrong number, report it. We aim to fix verified, material errors within 48 hours. The first reporter of a verified, material error gets a free year of service (one credit per reporter).

Depends on the benefit. For state, county, and non-VA federal agency benefits, Benefitry pre-fills the agency’s own form from your profile - you review it, sign it, and file it yourself. For VA claims, no: per 38 U.S.C. § 5901, only accredited attorneys, claims agents, and VSO representatives can represent you, so we point you to free accredited help instead of pretending we can do it.

Works the same. BAH, GI Bill projections, transition-window planning for the benefits that activate at separation, all in. Set your status to Active Duty during signup and the dashboard adjusts.

Yes. There's an iOS app on the Apple App Store, and it also runs in any browser. On Android or desktop, add it to your home screen and it works like an app.

Auto-converts to the plan you picked at signup. You can cancel in one click from your account page before your trial ends and pay nothing.

Benefitry connects through Plaid, the same secure connection used by Venmo, SoFi, and thousands of finance apps. We can read your balances and transaction history so we can show your net worth, cashflow, and budgets. We cannot move money, make transfers, or see your full accountnumber. Your data is encrypted, never sold, and you can disconnect a bank any time from its account card; we ask you to confirm once so a stray tap cannot do it.

No. Bank sync is optional. The full benefits audit, all the calculators, and AI chat work without it. Link a bank only if you want balances, budgets, and spending alerts alongside your benefits.

$9.99/mo or $59.99/yr (50% off on annual). Every plan starts with a free trial (7 days on the annual plan, 3 days on the monthly plan). Cancel in one click from your account page, anytime, no email or phone call needed.

Then don't keep paying. Benefitry exists to find you more than its $9.99/mo in benefits you weren't already claiming. If it doesn't, cancel in one click before your trial ends and pay nothing.

Stripe and Apple both auto-retry a few times over the next 3-7 days. Your access runs to the end of the period you already paid for, then pauses until the card is updated. Update your payment method any time from the Settings page (web) or iOS Settings > your name > Subscriptions (App Store). Your data stays intact.

Within 24 hours, every weekday. Email contact@benefitry.io. Jackson (the founder) reads every message. For data errors, the first verified report of a material error typically ships within 48 hours and earns the reporter a free year of service (one credit per reporter).
