Splitting a bill shouldn't take longer than the meal did. SplitEasy scans any receipt — printed or handwritten — and reads every item, the tax, and the tip automatically. Tap who had what, or split evenly with one tap, and SplitEasy works out exactly who owes what, including a proportional share of tax and tip. HOW IT WORKS • Take a photo or pick one from your library — SplitEasy reads it in seconds • Review the items, prices, tax, and tip — everything's editable if anything needs a fix • Add who's splitting and tap their items, or split the whole bill evenly • Get an exact total for everyone, ready to share as a clean, itemized PDF BUILT FOR HOW RECEIPTS ACTUALLY LOOK • Reads handwritten tip lines on a card slip, not just printed totals • Folds add-ons like "+ Extra Cheese" into the right item instead of listing them separately • Flags it if the numbers don't add up, instead of guessing silently NEVER LOSE A SPLIT IN PROGRESS Every scan is saved as a draft the moment it's read. Close the app mid-split and pick up right where you left off, on any device you sign into. GET PAID BACK FASTER Share a clean PDF with everyone's exact share, plus your Venmo or Zelle — remembered for next time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: SplitEasy at daily against Upgrade's every 11 days. SplitEasy also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Upgrade's advantage is ratings volume (84K vs 1) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
