Billy makes it super easy to split bills fairly by generating individualized breakdowns of what each person ordered or shared and is responsible for. Simply scan a photo of your receipt or manually enter each line item as well as any tax and tip. Next, assign each item to the person who ordered it or the people who shared it. Billy will then generate individualized breakdowns for each person showing exactly which items they’re responsible for, their share of tax and tip, and their individual total. Billy can even generate a PDF of the entire per-person breakdown that can be easily shared, making it easy to communicate who owes what with full transparency. With Billy, payback’s a breeze.

Verdict

Billy's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (23 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
