Split the bill the easy way — whether it's tonight's dinner or an ongoing trip or group event. LIVE SPLIT — the whole table, on their own phones Put Split's QR on the table. Everyone scans, taps the items they had, and the total adds up in real time, tax and tip handled. No app or account needed to join. No spreadsheet, no "who had the steak?", no chasing anyone for money. GROUPS — for expenses that don't end after one night Roommates, trips, couples, teams — keep a running tally of who paid and who owes whom. Split any expense the way that's actually fair: evenly, by exact amounts, by percentage, by shares, or by item. Every split type comes with a plain-English explanation, so everyone understands exactly how it was divided. Split does the math and shows the simplest way to settle up. SCAN ANY RECEIPT Snap a photo and Split reads the line items, tax, and tip. Assign each item with a tap, fix anything inline. Foreign receipts convert to your currency automatically. PAY OR GET PAID IN A TAP Settle up through Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, and more — right from the split. Free to start. Split Pro unlocks unlimited groups, members, receipt scans, and Quick Splits. Split Pro is $3.99/month and renews automatically. Your account is charged at confirmation of purchase; it renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your store account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://split.foundrystudiolabs.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://split.foundrystudiolabs.com/privacy
