SplitSmart scans the receipt, splits the bill in seconds, and helps you collect from everyone. Snap a photo, tell it how to split, send each friend what they owe. SCAN ANY RECEIPT Point your camera at a paper receipt. SplitSmart's AI reads every line item, tax, and tip — no typing. Works on restaurant checks, grocery slips, bar tabs, and rideshare receipts. SPLIT BY ITEM, NOT JUST EVENLY Drag items to people, split a shared appetizer, mark whose drinks were whose. Or split the whole tab evenly — it's two taps. Tip and tax are calculated proportionally so no one over-pays. NEW: SETTLE UP After the bill is split, tap Settle Up. SplitSmart shows you exactly what each person owes the payer and gives you a one-tap Request button per person. Pre-filled message, ready to send through Messages, WhatsApp, email — whatever you use. Or share the whole summary card to the group. NATURAL-LANGUAGE SPLITS Type "Sarah had the salad and half the wine, John paid for the dessert" and SplitSmart understands. No menus, no taps — just describe the split. DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD One subscription covers both. iPad gets a full sidebar layout. iPhone gets a fast bottom-tab flow built for the table. SUBSCRIPTION SplitSmart is free with 3 receipt scans per week.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SplitSmart at none against Sub's shown. Sub's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
