Split Crew — split the bill, not the friendship Split Crew is the fastest way to split a bill with your crew — no accounts, no logins, no awkward math. Enter the total, pick a tip, and see exactly what everyone owes in seconds. Unlike expense trackers built for tracking rent and roommate IOUs over months, Split Crew is built for the moment it actually happens: right at the table, right after the bill arrives. WHAT IT DOES Instant split — enter the bill, tip percentage, and headcount, get each person's share immediately Itemised split — assign specific items to specific people (steak for you, salad for them) instead of splitting everything evenly Shareable receipt cards — send a designed card straight to the group chat so no one can "forget" what they owe Bill history — every split auto-saved so you can check back Multi-currency — switch between GBP, USD, and EUR instantly WHO IT'S FOR Friends splitting a dinner bill, roommates settling a takeaway order, or any group that needs a fair, fast split without downloading a full expense-tracking app or making everyone sign up. SPLIT CREW PRO Unlock itemised splitting, full bill history, and 12 additional premium share card designs. Weekly: £1.99 Yearly: £14.99 (best value) Terms of Use: https://app.notion.com/p/Terms-Conditions-395f331167d180f985cde83b01ea9963?source=copy_link Privacy Policy: https://app.notion.com/p/Privacy-Policy-395f331167d1802cbef2fb23d0ebde18?source=copy_link
