TripMath

Trip expenses, minus the spreadsheet. TripMath is built for one thing: money between people on a trip. Track it, split it, settle it. No group-chat math, no shared spreadsheet nobody keeps up to date. JUST SAY WHAT YOU SPENT Type an expense the way you'd say it: "I paid $40 for dinner," "Jewel paid $120 for the hotel." TripMath reads the payer, the amount, and what it was for, and splits it across the group. No forms to fill unless you want them. SPLIT IT ANY WAY THAT'S FAIR Equal, exact amounts, percentages, or shares. Pick per expense. Someone skipped the drinks? Adjust the split without redoing the math. TripMath always makes the shares add up to the total, to the cent. REAL MULTI-CURRENCY Each trip has one home currency, but you can enter an expense in any of 150+ currencies. TripMath converts at a live rate, locks it in, and keeps your balances separated by currency, so a trip across borders still balances perfectly. SCAN RECEIPTS Snap a receipt and TripMath pulls out the total to start the expense. No typing the numbers. BALANCES & SETTLE UP See who paid, who owes, and who should get paid back at a glance. TripMath suggests the simplest set of payments to square everyone up, fills in the amounts, and you mark them paid as you go. BRING THE WHOLE GROUP Invite by link, QR code, or email. Everyone previews the trip before they join. Save your regular travel crews as reusable Groups so you're not re-inviting the same friends every trip. A COVER FOR EVERY TRIP Give each trip a photoreal AI cover of its destination, generated on demand right from the create screen. NEVER LOSE TRACK Every add, edit, and settle is timestamped in a searchable activity feed, and deleted expenses can be restored for 30 days. Invites and settle-up reminders land in one inbox with a badge, so nothing slips. WORKS OFFLINE Airplane mode, foreign SIM, dead zone on a hike: keep adding expenses. TripMath syncs the moment you're back online. SIGN IN, SIMPLY Apple, Google, or a one-time email code. Everyone on a trip has an account, so names, balances, and who-paid-what stay accurate. No mystery "ghost" members. FREE TO USE Run up to 3 ongoing trips with unlimited expenses, all split types, currency conversion, receipt scanning, and AI trip covers. No ads, ever. TRIPMATH PASS Unlock unlimited ongoing trips, AI receipt scanning, insights, charts, export, and a doubled AI cover allowance. Best part: when a Pass subscriber creates a trip, that trip is premium for everyone in it. Your friends get the upgraded experience without each buying their own. Pass is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Made for vacations, group getaways, road trips, bachelor/bachelorette weekends, family tours, business travel, and every "we'll sort it out later" that never gets sorted.
