When we travel as a group of friends, rent an apartment together, share expenses at the party, or read the restaurant bill - in all such cases, you have to arrange finances of the participants. On one hand, friends prefer not to spoil relations by mere formalities. On the other hand, nobody likes to overpay, as well as to be in debt. Repay offers an elegant solution for this delicate problem. Use it for building a clear and transparent picture: who pays for what, what is the budget for an event, what are your shares, who owes you money and to whom do you owe.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Republic Finance holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Republic Finance has 79 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Repay's written reviews are positive against 32% of Republic Finance's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Repay ships an update every 6 weeks, Republic Finance every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
