# Expense Split vs Splitup

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Splitup at 100% against Expense Split's 33%. Splitup also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Expense Split's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Expense Split sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Splitup sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Splitup holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expense Split has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Expense Split's written reviews are positive against 100% of Splitup's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
