Splitwise
An app that tracks who owes what in a group.
What Splitwise does
Splitwise is a widely used app for sharing costs, with more than 10 million Android installs. You add expenses to a group or a friend, and it keeps a running balance of who owes whom. It works on iPhone, Android and the web. The free version has ads and a daily limit on new expenses, and Splitwise Pro removes both.
Splitwise is a common pick when a group shares costs. You make a group for your apartment, a trip or just you and your partner, add expenses as they happen, and it keeps a running balance of who owes whom. Splits can be equal, by percentage, by shares or exact amounts.
It can simplify balances across a group so fewer payments change hands, and when someone pays you back you record it and the balance updates. It handles recurring costs like rent, works offline and syncs later, and supports more than 100 currencies. You can use it on iPhone, Android or in a browser.
The free version now has limits. Splitwise's help center says you can add 4 expenses a day, and you'll see ads. Splitwise Pro removes both and adds receipt scanning, currency conversion, charts, search and card transaction import (US only). If your group logs lots of small costs, that daily cap is the thing to weigh.
