Your assistant to quick & fair bill splitting. The app calculates "who ate how much" and generates a report "who owes to whom?". Common situation: - A group of friends went on a week-long trip. They took turns paying the expenses, because it was more convenient. And they decided to settle up when they got home.... - After a wonderful evening with friends someone had to pay the bill. The payment was successful and everyone took a taxi. And you decided to settle up “later”... Fairsplit helps to settle up in this case. Just scan the bill with a photo, assign items to persons and choose who paid the bill. Then you will see a list of settlements — how much who owes to whom. You can share it with friends. *** Feel free to write me feedback about everything that embarrassed you and made you get stuck or, on the contrary, about what caused joy and positive user experience.

SplitPal makes splitting bills with friends effortless — dinners, trips, apartment expenses, anything you share. Snap a photo of the bill — the AI receipt scanner reads every item, tax and tip automatically. Assign items to people in a couple of taps and SplitPal does all the math: who spent what, who owes whom. Why SplitPal: • Scan receipts — every item, tax and tip extracted automatically, no typing • Friends don't need the app — they join your group from a link in any browser, no sign-up • Settle with one tap — payment links open Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Revolut or any UPI app, plus copyable bank details for everything else • Three ways to split: evenly, custom shares, or item by item from the receipt • Every currency — pay in euros, yen or pesos on the same trip, settle in dollars • Clear balances — transparent debt breakdowns, simplified to the fewest transfers • Multiple payers per expense, settle in parts or all at once • Link couples — one balance for two, fewer transfers • Group history — every action is visible to everyone • Spreadsheet export, and your phone and browser stay in sync • Free, no ads, no sign-up required How it works: 1. Create a group and add your people. 2. Add expenses: dinner, hotel, cabs, groceries. Split evenly, by share, or by receipt item. 3. SplitPal calculates everything — taxes and tips are distributed proportionally, so nobody over- or under-pays. 4. Settle up and mark it paid — the whole group sees it. Road trip with friends, rent and utilities with roommates, office lunches, group vacations, weddings — SplitPal does the math so you don't have to.
