Splitwise alternative · iOS & Android · No sign-up
A Splitwise alternative that reads the bill.
Most splitting apps ask you for a total and a set of shares. This one starts from the receipt itself, works out each line, and gives you numbers you did not have to estimate.

How it works
Three steps between the receipt and everyone paying their share
02
Drag people onto items
Long-press a friend’s chip and drop it on what they ordered. Shared appetizer? Tap "Split All" and it divides fairly, tax and fees included.
03
Share the breakdown
Everyone gets an itemized total — down to their share of the tax. Send it by WhatsApp, iMessage, or anything else. No app needed on their end.
The difference in practice
Five at brunch, and why percentages get it wrong
Share-based splitting asks what fraction each person owes, which means guessing. Item-based splitting reads the line and assigns it. Same bill, and the gap between the two is real money.
The brunch bill
- Coffee round, 5 (shared)$20.00
- Full breakfast (Dev)$18.00
- Eggs benedict (Ana)$16.00
- Avocado toast (Cara)$15.00
- Pancakes (Ben)$14.00
- Granola bowl (Eli)$12.00
- Orange juice, 2 (Ana, Dev)$9.00
- Tax and tip$27.04
Total$131.04
By item, not by percentage
- Dev $33.39 Full breakfast, a juice, and a fifth of the coffee round.
- Ana $30.87 Benedict and the other juice.
- Cara $23.94 Avocado toast and coffee.
- Ben $22.68 Pancakes and coffee.
- Eli $20.16 Granola bowl. An even split would have charged him $26.21.
Splitting five ways gives everyone $26.21. Eli pays $6.05 more than he ordered, and Dev pays $7.18 less. The itemised shares add back to $131.04.

What changes
Where the two approaches part company
The bill is the input
Photograph the receipt instead of typing a total and dividing it. The lines come from the paper.
Nobody signs up
The people you split with do not create accounts or join a group. They get a text with their number.
Tax and tip follow the order
They spread in proportion to what each person had, rather than being divided by head on top of uneven food.
One-off groups
For a table that will never eat together again, a permanent shared ledger is more setup than the problem needs.
Switching
What people ask before they move
Can I import my existing Splitwise history?
No, and that is a genuine limitation. Balances do not transfer. The practical approach is to settle up where you are, then start new splits here. Groups with a long running ledger are the hardest case for switching.
Do the people I split with have to switch too?
No. They receive an itemised message showing what they owe and why, in whatever chat you already use. They never install anything or create an account, which is usually the part that stalls a group move.
What does splitting by item actually change on a normal bill?
On a bill where everyone ordered roughly the same thing, very little. The difference shows up when one person has three drinks and another has soup, which is when an even split quietly overcharges the lighter order.
Does it track a running balance between two people over time?
No. SPLIIT Pro does not maintain a rolling balance across bills. Pro unlocks full scan history, but it is not a synchronized long-term group ledger.
Is there a limit on group size?
The current free limit can change. Pro unlocks unlimited people. Each split can include up to five receipts, so a large event may still be easier to handle as several splits.
