BillHive handles three kinds of splitting in one app: household bills, restaurant checks, and group trips. Long-press the Mode tab to switch between them. BILLS MODE Track recurring household bills month after month. Split by percentage or fixed dollar amounts, set "covered by" relationships, and auto-carry amounts that don't change. A monthly checklist tracks what's been emailed, paid, and collected. CHECKS MODE Split a restaurant check in seconds. Scan the receipt with on-device OCR to auto-populate line items, tax, and tip. Assign items to friends, calculate proportional shares, then send a no-account share link so friends can claim their own items from any device. TRIPS MODE Create a trip, add members, and log expenses as you go. Attach receipt photos, split costs between any subset of members, and handle multi-payer scenarios. When the trip ends, the debt simplification algorithm minimizes the number of transfers needed. Export a PDF or CSV summary. COLLECT WHAT YOU'RE OWED All three modes generate Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App deep-links with the exact amount pre-filled. Send a personalized HTML email summary with one tap, or share a link that lets friends claim items with no account required. KEY FEATURES - Three modes: Bills, Checks, and Trips - On-device receipt OCR (no cloud upload) - No-account share links for checks and trips - Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App payment deep-links - Debt simplification for trips - Multi-payer and multi-currency expense support - Month-over-month trend charts - iCloud sync across devices - Dark theme with amber accent - One-time purchase: no subscription, no ads, no tracking Your data stays on your device and syncs via iCloud. Nothing is sent to any third-party server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Billr at none against BillHive's 1. BillHive's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
