About Splitwise
What is Splitwise?
Splitwise is a web and mobile app that helps you track shared expenses with friends, family, housemates, and travel groups. It eliminates awkward money conversations by automatically calculating who owes whom, so you can focus on enjoying your trip or shared living situation.
Who is it for?
Splitwise is ideal for anyone who frequently splits costs: travelers dividing hotel bills and meals, roommates sharing rent and utilities, couples managing household expenses, or friends organizing group dinners and events. It is not designed for business accounting or expense reporting for companies — it's purely for personal, informal shared finances.
Key features and use cases
You can create groups for trips, housemates, or any shared activity, add expenses on the go via mobile app or web, and choose equal or unequal splits (by percentage or shares). The tool simplifies debts by calculating total balances and even supports recurring expenses. The free plan covers unlimited expenses and core features. Upgrade to PRO for receipt scanning, charts and graphs, currency conversion, and more. Real users from The New York Times and Business Insider praise it for preventing fights over money and making group trips stress-free.
