Ten ways to split group expenses, compared on price, signup, currencies, receipt scanning, recurring bills, export and ads. Every claim checked against each app's own site on 6 November 2026.
There are more ways to split group expenses than ever, and most comparison articles are out of date the week they're published. This one compares ten options: Splitwise, Tricount, Settle Up, Kittysplit, Splid, Spliit, Venmo Groups, I Hate Money, Spliddit and plain spreadsheets, plus EvenRound. We checked every price and feature against each app's own website, help centre or app store listing on 6 November 2026.
Disclosure: we make EvenRound. We've tried to be fair, including about where we fall short. If anything here is wrong or out of date, tell us at hello@evenround.com and we'll fix it.

The household name, and one of the top-grossing finance apps on Google Play in the UK. It has the broadest feature set and the biggest network: if your friends have an expense app, it's probably this one.
The catch: the free tier lets you add 4 expenses a day (Splitwise help centre) and shows ads. Receipt scanning, itemised bills, search, charts, saved default splits, JSON backups and converting a group into one currency are part of the paid Pro subscription. Splitwise doesn't publish the Pro price on its website; the UK App Store lists Pro purchases from £2.79 to £47.99, most commonly £3.99 and £39.99, without saying which is monthly or yearly.
Free and good: recurring expenses, 100+ currencies (kept separately), CSV export, several payers on one expense, comments and debt simplification. Everyone needs an account, though you can track someone by name only.
Best for: groups who split often, already have accounts, and will either pay for Pro or rarely log more than 4 expenses a day. EvenRound vs Splitwise.
The European favourite, with more than 24 million users, owned since 2022 by the Dutch bank bunq. It's free, you can start without signing up, it handles 100+ currencies, and it suggests the repayments to settle up.
The catch: when Tricount moved to its new app, Premium was discontinued and several features went with it, including CSV and PDF export; its help centre tells users to email support for an export (Tricount help). There's no receipt scanning (you can attach photos), payment requests run through bunq, and the site advertises only the iOS and Android apps.
Best for:European groups who want a polished free phone app and don't need records or receipts. EvenRound vs Tricount.
A long-running app from a Czech team (the company is registered in the US). It works on iOS, Android and the web, settles in the fewest transfers, handles any currency and exports CSV for free. It can also import a Splitwise export.
The catch: the free tier shows ads, and you need an account to sync a group (friends can view balances from a link). Premium costs £3.99 a month or £18.99 a yearin the UK and adds no ads, receipt photos, recurring and future expenses, custom categories, Excel export and charts. There's also a one-off Group Premium, from £5.99 for a week to £149.99 for life (App Store).
Best for:groups happy with accounts who'll pay to remove ads or need recurring bills. EvenRound vs Settle Up.
The Berlin-built original of the no-signup, share-a-link model. It's quick, it exports to Excel for free, comments are free, and since September 2025 it has free iOS and Android apps alongside the web.
The catch: free groups stop at 9 people and show banner ads. Multiple currencies, default shares, receipt photos and spending insights need Super Kitty, £2.99 once per group (Kittysplit pricing). No receipt scanning or recurring expenses.
Best for: one-off trips with a small group and one currency. EvenRound vs Kittysplit.
A clean, free app from a solo developer in Munich. No signup, 150+ currencies with automatic conversion, several payers per expense, minimal payments to settle, and free PDF summaries.
The catch:it's phone-only (no web app), so everyone installs it. Excel export is a £3.99 Splid Pluspurchase, and a separate £2.99 "2 Groups" purchase suggests a limit on free groups (App Store). No recurring expenses or receipt scanning.
Best for:small groups who like a tidy app and don't need recurring bills. EvenRound vs Splid.
The open-source option, built in Montréal and funded by donations. No accounts at all, no ads, free, MIT-licensed and self-hostable. It has a free AI receipt scan and recurring expenses (both in beta), CSV and JSON export, multiple currencies, and a native iPhone app (spliit.app).
The catch: no Android app (Android users use the web), no splitting a bill by item, no Splitwise import yet, and anyone with the group link can edit.
Best for:anyone who values open source, or wants to host it themselves. It's the closest thing to EvenRound. EvenRound vs Spliit.
Since November 2023, Venmo has had Groups: shared expenses for up to 30 people, with Venmo working out the least number of payments to settle up (Venmo help). If everyone is already on Venmo, it's the path of least resistance.
The catch:it's US-only. Every member needs a Venmo account, a US mobile number and a US bank account; it's dollars only, and splits are basic (equal by default, adjustable shares). EvenRound vs Venmo.
An open-source project that has been around since 2011 (ihatemoney.org). You can use the hosted version or run your own, and a group is reached with a project code rather than an account. It's simple and long-lived, and a good fit for people comfortable self-hosting.
Not an expense tracker, but worth knowing. Spliddit is a free, not-for-profit academic project (now run from Harvard and the University of Toronto) that works out fair splits: who should pay how much rent for which bedroom, how to share a taxi fare, how to divide chores. Use it once to agree the fair rent, then track the bills somewhere else. EvenRound vs Spliddit.
Free and endlessly flexible, and for two people on a short trip they're fine. The cost is that one person maintains it, nobody updates it at the table, and you have to work out who pays whom yourself. Spreadsheet vs app and Notion template vs app.
Every feature is free, with no ads and no daily limit, and nobody needs to sign up: friends join from a link in the browser and can add it to their home screen. It reads receipts with AI (including line items), splits a bill by item, handles any currency at the day's rate, does recurring bills, lets several people pay for one expense, imports a Splitwise export, and exports CSV, PDF and a full backup.
Where we fall short:we're new, so your friends probably haven't heard of us. There's no App Store or Google Play app (it's an installable web app). It's in English only. And we don't import from banks or link to card spending.
