2. Splittr – Expense Splitting
Simply add expenses as you go and Splittr will tell you who owes who how much.
Invite your friends and everybody can enter expenses with their own devices.
– Works offline
– Syncs with friends
– No registration needed
– All currencies supported
– Categorize your expenses (custom categories available)
– PDF and CSV export
– Statistics about your group
– Super fast and easy user interface
– Intelligent equalization payment algorithm that minimizes the number of transactions
– You can split expenses unevenly if purchasers paid different amounts or if certain participants benefited more or less from the expense
– Automatic backups
Use case: Imagine you are on a trip with two friends: Emma and Daniel. You pay $100 for gas for the trip. Anyone with a calculator can divide that price three ways, but even then, you’d normally have to keep a record of the expense in order to divvy it up later. With Splittr, this expense is entered in a couple of seconds and divided equally with little time or effort.
Imagine that later, you, Emma and Daniel go to a restaurant. You’re not hungry, so you only order juice. Daniel orders a steak and a cheesecake. Emma gets a spinach salad. The bill is $80. Daniel forgot his wallet in the hotel room and doesn’t pay, but you chip in $60 and Emma pays $20. You need a math degree to calculate who owes what, right? Not with Splittr! Simply enter who paid how much and Splittr will do the rest.
It’s that simple!”

A note to our international friends: Tab is currently only available in the US Play Store because the many different receipt formats, unique taxes and languages in other countries would cause our image-to-text conversion and parsing to give very mixed results. We hope to bring Tab to other countries as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience!”
