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. The only app you need for bill splitting, expense sharing, IOU tracking and settling group costs. SplitPal Pro (optional) unlocks higher AI receipt-scan limits with a monthly or yearly subscription — or a one-time lifetime purchase.
