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.

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: Con Edison at 4.8 against Tab's 4.2. Con Edison also leads on ratings volume (123K vs 1.1K). Tab's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 48%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Con Edison holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Con Edison has 123K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Tab's written reviews are positive against 48% of Con Edison'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, Con Edison every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
