Tired of awkward "you owe me" conversations? SplitBear makes splitting expenses effortless. Whether you're sharing rent with roommates, splitting a dinner tab, or tracking costs on a group trip, SplitBear handles the math so you can focus on the fun. ADD AN EXPENSE IN SECONDS Tap the amount, pick who paid, and you're done. SplitBear splits it evenly by default, or customize the split by percentage or individual items. Import recent Apple Pay transactions with one tap, or snap a receipt and SplitBear reads the total automatically. SEE WHO OWES WHAT — INSTANTLY Open any group to see your balance at a glance. SplitBear uses a smart algorithm that minimizes the number of payments needed, so instead of everyone paying everyone, you settle up in fewer steps. Send friendly payment reminders with a tap when balances are overdue. BUILT FOR EVERY GROUP Create unlimited groups for different circles — roommates, trips, couples, friend dinners. Multi-currency support with live exchange rates for international trips. Save expense templates for recurring bills like rent and utilities. Set balance threshold alerts so you know when debts are getting large. Export expenses to CSV for your records. SMART FEATURES THAT SAVE TIME Receipt scanner reads totals, merchant names, and dates automatically. Quick-add from your home screen with long-press shortcuts. Spending insights with charts showing where your money goes. Smart settle-up suggestions based on your group's patterns. DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. No data collection. Your expenses are processed entirely on your device and never shared with third parties. Optional sync keeps groups updated across devices. Free covers up to three active groups, with ten expenses in each. SplitBear Pro ($3.99/month) lifts the expense limit on up to three groups — and you can split the subscription cost with your group right from the app. Terms of Use: https://splitbear.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://splitbear.app/privacy.html ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | SplitBear Pro | $3.99 | per month | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.3.5 — 2026-09-04 SplitBear now runs on iOS 17.6 and later. If your iPhone couldn't install the last few updates, it can install this one. Real-time sync works again: • Expenses, payments and member changes from other people show up as they happen, instead of waiting for a manual refresh • Sign in with Apple now saves your email, so notifications can reach you • The "session expired" prompt stays on screen long enough to act on, with a clear way back in Balances you can trust: • Every group on the home screen now shows its own balance — before this, most of them showed another group's • The multi-group Overview totals each currency separately instead of adding euros to dollars • Changing an expense's currency waits for the right exchange rate before it lets you save Itemized splits hold their shape: • Shared tax and tip survive reopening an expense instead of resetting to zero • Taking the last person off an item flags it for you rather than quietly spreading its cost across everyone • Long expense titles no longer get trimmed just from opening them Plus Pro subscription fixes so coverage and billing state stay accurate, and you can now delete your account even with a balance outstanding. ### 1.3.3 — 2026-08-16 Shared groups stay in sync again: • Expenses, payments, and member changes made by other people now appear on your device immediately, instead of waiting for a manual refresh Inviting people is now a lot smoother: • Show a QR code for friends to scan, or share an invite link that unfurls with a friendly preview • Invites now include your name and the code, so they're easy to follow — even before the app is installed Settling up is faster and more forgiving: • Jump straight to Venmo, PayPal, or Cash App to send a payment • Add a note to any payment • Recorded a payment by mistake? Touch and hold it in Activity to remove it Plus a batch of polish: • Apple Wallet imports now convert foreign-currency purchases correctly • Touch and hold any expense to delete it • When everyone's settled, wrap up a group and archive it in one tap • Signing in with Apple now reliably saves your email for account recovery • Clearer guidance when you need to sign back in to keep syncing • Faster first launch and a smoother first-time setup ### 1.3.2 — 2026-06-11 • More reliable real-time sync — fixes rare cases where recently added expenses could temporarily disappear from a device • Editing an expense now keeps your custom splits, itemized entries, and original currency exactly as entered • Notifications now appear while the app is open • CSV export improvements — original-currency columns and more precise split percentages • Many more polish and stability fixes ### 1.3.1 — 2026-06-02 This update makes SplitBear faster and more reliable — especially for groups splitting across currencies: • Multi-currency, done right: full support for yen, won, and other no-decimal currencies, so amounts and balances total correctly everywhere. • Switching a group's home currency now re-prices every past expense accurately — even on a shaky connection. • Smoother sync: changes from your group land faster and more reliably across your devices. • Speed and polish throughout, plus a handful of bug fixes. Thanks for using SplitBear! ### 1.2.2 — 2026-05-31 Smart Settle savings badge — see at a glance how many transactions you save when accepting Smart Settle-Up suggestions.
