Split bills the smart way. Hisaab is India's cleanest expense-sharing app — track who paid what, settle in one tap with UPI, never owe anyone again. Built for friends, not investors. Free forever. Zero ads. WHY HISAAB IS DIFFERENT • 5.0 on the App Store, every single review • ₹-first and UPI-native — built in India for India • No subscriptions, no premium tier, no ads • Smart auto-split that learns from how you actually split • One tap to settle via WhatsApp + UPI link • Works fully offline, syncs when you're back online • Your data stays yours — we don't sell or share it PERFECT FOR Trip with friends — Goa, Manali, weekend getaways Roommates and PG groups — rent, electricity, groceries Couples — date splits, household budgets, big purchases Birthdays, parties, gifts — anything you split HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a group — trip, home, couple, or anything 2. Add an expense in seconds — type the amount, smart 1k/2k chips, save 3. Hisaab splits it intelligently — or pick a custom split 4. Settle up with one tap — share a UPI link, get paid instantly 5. Done. Move on with your day. SMART NUDGES, NEVER NAGS Hisaab knows when to ping and when to stay quiet: • Realtime alerts when friends add expenses • A gentle reminder if balances stay open for 3+ days • Trip-end nudges so nothing slips through • Quiet hours by default (10pm–8am) • Turn off any category in one tap BUILT FOR INDIA • Indian rupee grouping (₹1,23,456 — not the American comma style) • UPI links for instant settlement (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm — anything) • Hindi-friendly contacts, including emoji-laden phone book entries • Made by an Indian founder, dogfooded in India for 6+ months WHAT USERS SAY "I have deleted Splitwise and have been The Hisaab for over 15 days now.
