PayWho — Quick Bill Splitting for Groups Going out with friends? Someone paid for dinner, someone else grabbed the cake, and not everyone shared every item. PayWho handles exactly this — no spreadsheet needed. HOW IT WORKS Just 3 steps: 1. Add your group — enter everyone's names 2. Add the bills — set the amount, who paid, and who's splitting it 3. Hit Split Bill — PayWho calculates exactly who owes who, and how much PayWho consolidates all the individual bills into the simplest possible set of transactions.
