Recurring, where Wingspan lives
- The top complaint is that recurring works by merchant, so one merchant can't hold several items. Recurring 2.0 fixes that.
- Recurring 2.0 opened in Early Access in late September. Testers say it misses most annual bills, has no calendar or card statements yet, and doesn't feed future balances. Staff say creating an item from a single transaction is in progress.
- Next come false detections and nagging, about 110 threads, and requests to turn recurring off.
- Twice a month only allows the 1st and 15th, or the 15th and last day. People want any two days.
- Unpaid items drop off the calendar instead of staying overdue.
- Bill Sync lags weeks behind, sends false overdue alerts and isn't tied to transactions.
- People keep asking to set card due dates themselves and to see when a full statement payment will leave checking.

People mostly went to Simplifi, YNAB, Quicken and Copilot. April 2026, when Plus launched at $299 and dropped to $199 three days later, is the worst month in the archive.
