Splitting the bill shouldn't kill the vibe. SplitHappens gives you three powerful split modes, group expense tracking, and one-tap settlements — so you can get back to what matters. THREE WAYS TO SPLIT — INSTANTLY Even split? Done. Custom amounts? Easy. Restaurant bill with individual orders, tax, and tip? SplitHappens handles it all. Enter the total, pick your mode, and watch every person's share calculated to the penny. Dine Out Mode is built for real restaurant bills. Enter each person's subtotal and the app automatically distributes tax and tip proportionally — no more napkin math. Need to add up receipts? Type math right into the amount field. TRACK GROUP SPENDING OVER TIME Create expense groups for trips, apartments, events, or anything shared. Every expense is logged with who paid, who owes, and how much. Running balances update in real time so there's never a question about where things stand. SETTLE UP WITH FEWER PAYMENTS When it's time to square up, toggle debt simplification and SplitHappens reduces a web of IOUs into the fewest possible transactions. Instead of five people sending money in circles, you get two clean payments. Share the settlement breakdown via Messages or any app. SQUADS — YOUR GO-TO GROUPS, SAVED Save your roommates, your brunch crew, your travel squad. Next time you split a bill, load a Squad in one tap instead of adding names all over again. Add guests on the fly when someone new joins. DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE - Split evenly, by custom amount, or restaurant-style with tax & tip - Built-in calculator for quick math right inside the amount field - Auto-emoji matching — type "pizza" and watch the pizza emoji appear - Smart remainder distribution so every cent is accounted for - Detailed per-expense breakdowns so everyone sees the math - Organize expenses into groups for trips, roommates, or events - Debt simplification reduces payments to the minimum - Interactive settlement graph visualization - Share settlements via Messages, WhatsApp, or any app - Customizable currency symbol, default tax & tip rates - Works 100% offline — no WiFi, no problem - Export & import your data — you own it, always - No account, no sign-up, no sync headaches - Your data stays on your device, private by default NO STRINGS ATTACHED No subscriptions. No paywalls hiding core features. No forced account creation. We don't collect your data — everything stays on your device and you own it completely. Export and import your data anytime from Settings. SplitHappens works the moment you open it. Optionally support the developer and remove ads with a one-time purchase. Whether you're splitting rent with roommates, settling a group dinner, or tracking a week-long trip with friends — SplitHappens keeps money simple so friendships stay easy. Never argue over a bill again.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SplitHappens Pro at 100% against Spency's 29%. SplitHappens Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Spency's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
