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.
