Tab is the simple way to split a bill amongst friends. Snap a pic of the receipt and tap your items to claim them. Tax and tip are calculated for you. No more back-of-the-napkin algebra or typing in prices by hand! Here’s how it works: - Take a picture of your itemized receipt. Tab automatically detects all the items and prices. - Select which items each person ordered. Everyone that has Tab on their phone can join onto the bill and select their own items - the app keeps everything synced in real-time. - Multiple people can select the same item if they shared it. - Tax and tip are automatically divided proportionally. - If it's someone's birthday, you can split their total evenly among everyone else. - View and share detailed summaries of your past bills Tab has been featured on the Today show, "apps of the year" lists from Buzzfeed, Complex and others, Product Hunt, CNN, and more!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Parcel Pending Mobile at 4.8 against Tab's 4.2. Parcel Pending Mobile also leads on ratings volume (56K vs 1.2K). Tab's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 28%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Parcel Pending Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parcel Pending Mobile has 56K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Tab's written reviews are positive against 28% of Parcel Pending Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tab ships an update every 3 weeks, Parcel Pending Mobile every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
