SplitPal makes splitting bills with friends effortless — dinners, trips, apartment expenses, anything you share. Snap a photo of the bill — the AI receipt scanner reads every item, tax and tip automatically. Assign items to people in a couple of taps and SplitPal does all the math: who spent what, who owes whom. Why SplitPal: • Scan receipts — every item, tax and tip extracted automatically, no typing • Friends don't need the app — they join your group from a link in any browser, no sign-up • Settle with one tap — payment links open Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Revolut or any UPI app, plus copyable bank details for everything else • Three ways to split: evenly, custom shares, or item by item from the receipt • Every currency — pay in euros, yen or pesos on the same trip, settle in dollars • Clear balances — transparent debt breakdowns, simplified to the fewest transfers • Multiple payers per expense, settle in parts or all at once • Link couples — one balance for two, fewer transfers • Group history — every action is visible to everyone • Spreadsheet export, and your phone and browser stay in sync • Free, no ads, no sign-up required How it works: 1. Create a group and add your people. 2. Add expenses: dinner, hotel, cabs, groceries. Split evenly, by share, or by receipt item. 3. SplitPal calculates everything — taxes and tips are distributed proportionally, so nobody over- or under-pays. 4. Settle up and mark it paid — the whole group sees it. Road trip with friends, rent and utilities with roommates, office lunches, group vacations, weddings — SplitPal does the math so you don't have to. The only app you need for bill splitting, expense sharing, IOU tracking and settling group costs.
