Spliteo makes it easy to split expenses with friends, roommates and your partner. Create a group, share one link on WhatsApp, and everyone sees who paid, who owes and how to settle up. The free plan has no daily limit on expenses: add as many as you need. Invite your group with one link • Share your group's link on WhatsApp or any chat. Friends open it on their phone or on the web and join in a few taps. • Anyone in the group can invite, not only the person who created it. • Added someone by name before they had the app? When they join, they pick their name and keep their expenses and balance. • A new welcome screen helps you get started the first time you open the app. Split bills your way • Split evenly, by amount or by parts (for example, 2 to 1). • Several people can pay for the same expense. • Add people without an account by name, and invite them whenever they want the app. • Scan a receipt to fill in the amount and items. Clear balances, fewer payments • See who owes whom in each group and across all your groups. • Settle-up suggestions keep the number of payments low. • Record a payment when someone pays you back. Spliteo never moves money and never connects to your bank. Made for trips, shared homes and couples • 107 currencies. Each balance stays in its own currency, so a trip paid in euros and dollars keeps two exact balances. • Groups for trips, rent and bills, dinners and events. • English and Spanish, light and dark mode. • Sign in with email, Google or Apple. Your groups sync between your iPhone, your iPad and the web at spliteo.app. Your own money in the same app • Track your personal income and expenses. • Group expenses can flow into your personal finances. • Set a budget and a savings goal. Free plan • Unlimited expenses, with no daily or monthly limit • Up to 6 groups (groups you create and groups you join count together) • Split evenly, by amount or by parts • People without an account in your groups • 3 receipt scans a month • 1 budget, 1 savings goal and 1 active recurring expense • CSV export of the last 30 days and category analytics Spliteo Premium • No limit on groups • 20 receipt scans a month, plus receipt photos attached to expenses • Unlimited budgets, savings goals and recurring expenses • Personal finances in several currencies, with advanced filters, trends and currency conversion • PDF exports and CSV exports of up to 1 year • Advanced analytics (90-day range) and 5 years of history • AI assistant connector: use Spliteo from Claude or ChatGPT • Priority support Premium costs US$1.99 a month or US$19.99 a year in the US; the App Store shows the price for your country before you subscribe.

SelfHive is the iOS companion for your self-hosted BillHive server. It handles three kinds of splitting: household bills, restaurant checks, and group trips. All data syncs to your own server. Requires a running BillHive server (one Docker container). Deploy with: docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v billhive-data:/data ghcr.io/martyportatoes/billflow:latest 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. The monthly checklist syncs between web and iOS. CHECKS MODE Split a restaurant check in seconds. Scan the receipt with on-device OCR to auto-populate line items, tax, and tip. Generate a no-account share link hosted on your server. Friends open it in any browser and claim their items. TRIPS MODE Create a trip, add members, and log multi-payer expenses with receipt photos. When the trip ends, debt simplification minimizes transfers. Export PDF or CSV summaries. COLLECT WHAT YOU'RE OWED Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App deep-links with the exact amount pre-filled across all three modes.
