Let's Settle Up! is an intuitive, free tool for splitting bills and tracking shared expenses with friends, flatmates, your partner, or on trips together. No ads. Shared rent, a weekend getaway, or just pizza with friends? Let's Settle Up! precisely tracks who paid for what, who owes whom, and suggests the optimal way to settle up with the fewest possible transfers. Key features: β€’ Unlimited expenses within shared groups β€’ Smart debt simplification β€” settle up in the fewest possible transactions β€’ Three split methods: equally, by amount, by percentage β€’ Individual multipliers (e.g. for someone eating more) β€’ Multi-currency β€” expenses in any currency, automatically converted to the group's settlement currency β€’ Available on iPhone and in the browser: letssettleup.com Groups that fit your life: Create separate groups for different occasions β€” a holiday with friends, a shared flat, regular dinners. Each group has its own members, currency, and history. Three ways to invite: β€’ An 8-character invite code β€’ A shareable link β€’ An email invitation (auto-join after creating an account) The owner and admins can manage members, edit other people's expenses, and confirm settlements on behalf of others β€” perfect for cash payments outside the app. Settlements made simple: After every expense, the app calculates net balances and proposes the optimal set of transfers.
