Splid is the Germany-built, Material-design favourite that earned its reputation on clean UX, no signup, and a one-time €4.99 unlock for the few extra features it offers. Tricount is the Belgian challenger now owned by Bunq, with a free, no-ads, full-featured model. Both have devoted user bases that swear by them.
The short version: Splid is the lighter, more minimalist option with a one-time payment to unlock recurring and CSV export; Tricount is the more feature-complete free option with Bunq integration in the background. Splid users tend to be solo travellers and small groups; Tricount users tend to be roommates and longer-running households.

The third option
Splid vs Tricount is mostly a question of taste in UI and tolerance for one-time payments. Both are calm, well-built, and respect your time. EvenRound shares their no-signup DNA but extends the feature set further - free multi-currency, AI receipt scanning, recurring, payment links. See /compare/splid or /compare/tricount for the head-to-head against each.
