Split Your Trip

Features
Read full description

Splitting expenses on a group trip shouldn't require a spreadsheet — or an account, or anyone's email address. TripSplit keeps a running tally of who paid for what and works out the simplest way to settle up, right on your phone. SPLIT ANY WAY THE GROUP ACTUALLY PAYS • Even splits for shared costs like lodging and lift tickets • Ratio splits when someone should cover more (or less) • Itemized bills: assign each dish to its person, then split shared appetizers or a bottle of wine — evenly or by custom shares SETTLE UP IN AS FEW PAYMENTS AS POSSIBLE TripSplit computes the minimum set of transfers to zero everyone out — no chains of "you pay me, I pay her." Record payments as they happen and send a friendly settle-up text straight from the app. EVERYTHING ELSE A TRIP NEEDS • Snap receipt photos and keep them attached to expenses • Balances update live as expenses are added • A friends list so recurring travel buddies are one tap away • Export a polished PDF trip report to share with the group PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No analytics. Your data never leaves your device — TripSplit doesn't even have a server to send it to. Perfect for ski cabins, beach houses, bachelorette weekends, road trips, and any adventure where "I'll get this one" needs a scoreboard.
