Settle Up - Group Expenses

The user interface could use improvement to make it easy to navigate. For example it take multiple clicks and it’s also not intuitive how to “settle up”. The add are also way to invasive. Lastly it’s way too expensive for what it’s offering. On the plus side the development team is very responsive. I contacted them with an issue and they were very helpful and quick.

I tried the free version of this app on a trip with three other people, and the app doesn’t even give you individualized debts. I ended up having to take all the expenses out of the app and put them in a spreadsheet to figure out who really owed whom.

This app was a game changer on a recent group trip. It allowed us to relax and just live our best lives while not having to worry about whether we were kicking in too much or not enough, or having to do any kind of math with vacation brains. Can't recommend it enough.

Worked great until it didn’t. With the free version, I was able to add and settle debts, just had to watch a few ads. Suddenly, I go to add some debts and it is giving me only a net summary of ALL debts, including those already settled. So it is now essentially useless bc there’s no way to tell what we actually have paid each other. Bummer bc I liked this a lot for settling roommate bills.

This is the best app for splitting expenses I found. It has a very slick interface, all required details are easily available and accessible. I wish it had 3 relatively small features that I proposed to the authors that could be implemented (had no negative or positive response from the authors so far). Ability to assign a fixed amount to a person(s) and exclude them from further sharing. Use case: a participant bought something completely different and their prices are fixed regarding the rest of the spending Ability to assign adjustments for sharing. Use case: in a restaurant, the entire bill is split evenly but one person ordered an expensive drink for himself and wants to exclude this amount from sharing, or a person didn’t order an expensive dessert and its share should be reduced by this amount Ability to create a paying group which is very natural in multi-family events (especially with children who could be accounted for differently). All calculations are as is but in the end, group spending and debts are combined. It makes regular accounting simple. No multipliers, all other accounting as described in 1) and 2) are still applicable on the individual level but the final settlement is natural The nice thing is that all these features could be introduced in a way that the old interface would work the same way without additional complexity for those who are not interested yet accommodating more complex use cases. I hope developers would listen to this proposals, it doesn’t look too complex and should not change the existing API too much

Perfect alternative! Would love to have a friend view along with the group view as i have same friends across a lot of groups

Used Splitwise for YEARS until they started prompting for payment and allowing only a set amount of daily entries, thought we’d give this one a shot. Was looking good until I realized within a week that this app was even worse… playing those horrific ads you cant even skip. Deleting.

I absolutely love this app. Been traveling with friends for years, and this one has been the absolute best. It allows weighted contributions for people… for example, a married couple can have an assigned value of 2, and single people can have a value of 1. Making it so an even split bill (such as a taxi or hotel) will automatically split appropriately. If you’re traveling through multiple countries with multiple currencies, it will accurately convert the consolidated debts of each person in a group. We used to spend hours obsessing over who owes what at the end of a trip, but it’s not an issue anymore. It’s worth purchasing premium for the group (one time cost, benefits all transactions within the group). Groups can be reset after a trip is complete, which means you can continue having the perks of premium for a future trip at no extra cost.

came here from splitwise after splitwise chose to throw a paywall on basic functions, like more than a couple transactions a day. settle up has all the features of splitwise free + some extras, like adding expenses by bill and separating tip and tax. free users may occasionally see an ad. annoying, but better than a paywall.

I use this for all of my trips! It is so helpful. I used to struggle splitting costs with my friends before but now this app makes it so much easier. Definitely recommend!
