## What is Tabmates?

Going somewhere with friends? Tabmates keeps the group's shared costs in one place, so nobody runs a spreadsheet and nobody chases anyone for money mid-trip.

For any trip or outing: a weekend getaway, a road trip, camping, a cabin, an international trip, a ski weekend, or just dinner and a night out.

HOW IT WORKS
• Create a group and share the 6-character invite code.
• Add expenses as they happen: lodging, gas, groceries, tickets, rentals, dinners.
• Pick who paid and who shared it. Tabmates splits it equally, to the cent.
• At the end, tap Settle Up. Expenses lock and Tabmates works out the fewest payments to get everyone even.
• Mark each payment as paid. When everyone's square, the group shows Settled.

WHY GROUPS LIKE IT
• Fewer payments: debts are simplified, so 5 friends need at most 4 transfers, not a web of IOUs.
• Clear balances: see who's up and who owes at any time.
• Settle once, not every night: keep adding all trip long, square up when you're home.
• Made a mistake? Edit or delete expenses, or reopen a settled group.

PRIVATE AND FREE
• Sign in with Apple or Google.
• No ads. No tracking.
• Delete your account any time from Settings.

Good to know: amounts are in US dollars, and every expense is split equally among the people who shared it.

Tabmates was previously called SplitEasy. Questions or ideas? Use the Support link on this page.
