Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: BillOut at 260 against ClearSplit's 5. BillOut also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). ClearSplit's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
