Split Scan makes splitting the bill effortless. Just snap a photo of any receipt, and the app instantly extracts all the items for you — no manual entry needed. Scan any receipt Split Scan uses AI to read the store name, items, quantities, and prices automatically. Split two ways Choose how you want to divide the bill: Equal split — divide the total evenly among everyone. Per-item split — assign specific items to specific people, so everyone pays exactly for what they ordered. Share the summary Once the split is done, share a clean summary image with your group instantly — no more awkward "who owes what" conversations. Groups — shared expenses, simplified Create a group for your household, trip, or any shared expense. Add members by invite link, email, or name. Log expenses, link them to your scanned receipts, and Split Scan calculates exactly who owes whom. Settle up when you're ready, and keep a full record of every payment. Receipt history All your scanned receipts are saved so you can review or re-split them anytime. Categorization and spending statistics REAL PRICES FROM REAL SHOPPERS Split Scan connects you to a live community feed of grocery receipts. See what your neighbours are actually paying — not estimated figures, but real scanned receipts from real stores. INFLATION TRACKER Watch how prices move week by week with the community inflation chart. Find the cheapest store in your area this month, see the average price per item, and track how your basket size compares to the community. Country-Based Price Feed Browse community price data for any country. Tap the country selector on the feed to switch regions and see average prices, cheapest stores, and price trends specific to that area — all shown in the local currency. Your home country is saved, so the feed always opens where you left off. YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR CHOICE Publishing is automatic when you save a receipt, but always optional. Post anonymously to share prices without revealing your identity. Turn it off in Profile settings at any time. Remove individual receipts from the feed or delete all your shared data in one tap — your right to erasure, built in from day one.
