# BillOut vs ClearSplit

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.

Both are free to download. BillOut sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ClearSplit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClearSplit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BillOut has 260 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of BillOut's written reviews are positive against 100% of ClearSplit's.

BillOut ships an update every 3 weeks, ClearSplit weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
