Split Cat

Splitting money with roommates, travel buddies, or family always ends the same way: someone paid first, everyone owes something, and nobody remembers the details. Split Cat logs every expense and does the math for you. โ Itemized splitting - Log each expense separately: who paid, who shares it, all clear - See who owes whom, and how much, at any time โ Auto settle-up, fewest transfers - Settlement always gives you the plan with the fewest transfers - One tap settles everything, with the record kept โ Siri quick log - Hands full? Say "Log an expense in Split Cat" and the cat takes it down - The entry is marked when you get back to the app; fill in details later โ Foreign-currency ledgers - Open a travel ledger and log in yen, won, or baht directly - Settlement converts back to one currency; rates auto-fill and stay editable โ Settle reminders - Let a tab sit too long and the cat reminds you it's time - Turn it off in Settings anytime โ Pairs and groups - Pair up 1-on-1 and share one synced ledger - Group splitting for dinners and trips, so the whole squad stays square โ Share the settlement - Send the result to LINE, iMessage, or wherever your group lives - Awkward to ask for money? Let the cat be the messenger - The cat has LINE stickers now, too โ dunning messages, delivered by cat โ Completely free - Every feature is free: no subscription, no in-app purchases โ Privacy - Zero tracking: no analytics, no ads, no data collection - Sync runs on your own iCloud; there are no servers of ours to see it Amounts accept one decimal place.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Split Cat at none against Group Spending's 1. Group Spending's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
