Shareful

Read full description

Shareful is the expense engineering engine for anyone who's ever said "let's just split it evenly" and regretted it. Whether it's a weekend trip, a shared flat, a couples' budget, or splitting dinner with friends, Shareful tracks who paid, who owes, and who's square — automatically, fairly, and without the group-chat math. SCAN A RECEIPT, DONE Point your camera at a bill and Shareful reads the merchant, amount, currency, and date for you — no manual typing. Just confirm and split. SPLIT IT YOUR WAY Equal splits for the simple stuff, custom splits for the rest. Multiple people paid for one expense? Shareful handles multi-payer splits too, so the math is never forced to fit a shape it doesn't. ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU STAND Real-time balances for every group, updated the moment an expense is added. See exactly who owes whom, and settle up with one tap when it's time to square things away — including cross-currency settlements if your group spans more than one currency. TALK IT OUT, RIGHT ON THE EXPENSE Something look off? Open a quick chat thread on any expense to sort it out with your group — no need to leave the app or dig through old messages. NEVER FORGET A RECURRING BILL Rent, subscriptions, utilities — set a recurring expense once and Shareful logs it automatically every cycle. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Group Insights breaks down spending by person, category, and month. My Stats shows your own cross-group history — who you split with most, and how your balances trend over time. MOVING FROM SPLITWISE? Import your existing groups and expense history directly from a Splitwise CSV export — no starting over. BUILT FOR HOW YOUR GROUP ACTUALLY WORKS Works offline, syncs when you're back online Attach receipts and documents to any expense Invite people by link, no account required to join Available in 8 languages YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Shareful doesn't sell your data, doesn't run ads, and doesn't track you across other apps. It's not a payment app either — Shareful tracks who owes whom on paper; it never touches your bank account, card, or UPI details. Splitting shared costs shouldn't feel like a second job. Shareful keeps it fair, transparent, and out of your group chat.
