SplitPro is free with no daily limit on expenses. Receipt photos, categories, recurring expenses and a default split per group are included, with no paid tier. It is open source under the MIT license and works in any browser.

Settle Up has a free version and a paid Premium upgrade, which is where its receipt photos, categories, recurring transactions, Excel export and charts are. It runs on Android, iPhone and the web.

_Last checked October 14, 2026, against Settle Up's own website and app store listings. SplitPro is our app._

## Where SplitPro is stronger

- Receipt photos, categories and recurring expenses are free.
- A default split per group, so new expenses start the way your group usually splits.
- One account for all your groups and one-to-one balances with friends.
- Imports your friends and groups, with balances, from a Splitwise backup.
- Open source under the MIT license, and you can host it yourself.

## Where Settle Up is stronger

- Native Android and iPhone apps, with offline entry.
- Several payers on one expense, and items from a bill.
- Works out the fewest transfers to settle a group.
- Converts between currencies with real-time exchange rates.

## Which should you pick?

**Pick SplitPro if** you want receipts, categories and recurring costs like rent without paying for an upgrade, or you prefer open source software.

**Pick Settle Up if** you need offline entry, several payers on one expense, currency conversion or charts.

## Common questions

### Is Settle Up free?

It has a free version. Premium adds receipt photos, categories, recurring transactions, Excel export and charts, as a subscription or a one-time purchase for one group.

### Does SplitPro work offline?

No. SplitPro needs a connection to add expenses.

### Which handles multiple currencies better?

Settle Up converts with real-time exchange rates. SplitPro supports more than 100 currencies and keeps each expense and balance in the currency it was paid in, without converting.

### Can friends see balances without installing an app?

Yes, in both. Settle Up can share a group as a link. SplitPro runs in the browser, and quick split shares a link that needs no account.

SplitPro has no daily limit on expenses, and its core features are free: groups, recurring expenses, receipt photos and a default split per group. It is open source under the MIT license, so you can read the code or run your own copy, and it works in any browser.

Splitwise's free plan lets you add up to 4 expenses a day. Both apps split equally, by percentage, by shares or by exact amounts. Splitwise has native phone apps and a few features SplitPro lacks, listed below.

_Last checked October 14, 2026, against Splitwise's own website and app store listings. SplitPro is our app._

## Where SplitPro is stronger

- No daily limit on adding expenses.
- Default split per group, recurring expenses and receipt photos are free.
- Open source under the MIT license, and you can host it yourself.
- Imports your friends and groups, with their balances, from a Splitwise backup.
- Quick split settles a one-off trip without anyone creating an account.

## Where Splitwise is stronger

- Native iPhone and Android apps, with offline entry.
- Several payers on one expense.
- Simplify debts in groups.
- Pro adds receipt scanning, currency conversion and charts.

## Which should you pick?

**Pick SplitPro if** you add more than a few expenses a day, want the core features free, or want open source software you can run yourself.

**Pick Splitwise if** you need a native app with offline entry, several payers on one expense or simplify debts in groups.

## Common questions

### Is SplitPro a free alternative to Splitwise?

Yes. Expenses, groups, recurring expenses, receipts and settling up are free, with no daily limit. Splitwise's free plan allows 4 expenses a day; Pro removes the limit.

### Can I move my Splitwise data to SplitPro?

Yes, your friends and groups with their current balances, from a Splitwise JSON backup. Past individual expenses are not imported, so keep a Splitwise export if you want that history. Splitwise Pro users can download the backup on the web; free users can ask Splitwise support for one.

### Does SplitPro have a mobile app?

It runs in your browser. On your phone you can add it to your home screen, where it opens like an app and can send notifications.

### Does SplitPro simplify debts like Splitwise?

Not in groups yet; you settle up with each member. Quick split, which needs no account, does suggest the fewest payments.

SplitPro gives you one account that ties together all your groups and one-to-one balances with friends. It has more ways to split, recurring expenses, and it works in any browser. It is open source under the MIT license, so you can read the code or host it yourself.

Both apps are free with no daily limit on expenses. Tricount keeps one shared list per trip or household, in iPhone and Android apps.

_Last checked October 14, 2026, against Tricount's own website and app store listings. SplitPro is our app._

## Side by side

| | SplitPro | Tricount |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Price | Free | Free |
| Daily expense limit | None | None |
| Account needed | Free account; quick split needs none | Can try without signing up |
| Split types | Equal, percentage, shares, exact, adjustments | Equal or a custom share per person |
| One balance per friend across groups | Yes | Not listed |
| Recurring expenses | Yes | Not listed |
| Currencies | 100+, balances kept per currency | Several, with the trip total in one currency |
| Add expenses offline | No | Yes |
| Where it runs | Any browser, can be added to your home screen | iPhone and Android |
| Import from Splitwise | Friends and groups, with balances | Group expenses |
| Payments | Record payments | Payment requests |
| Open source, can run your own copy | Yes | No |

“Not listed” means we could not find it on Tricount’s own pages.

## Where SplitPro is stronger

- One account for all your groups, plus one-to-one balances with friends outside any group.
- More ways to split: percentage, shares and adjustments as well as equal and exact amounts.
- Recurring expenses for rent and subscriptions, and a default split for each group.
- Works in any browser, on a phone or a computer.
- Open source under the MIT license, and you can host it yourself.
- Quick split covers a one-off trip with no accounts at all.

## Where Tricount is stronger

- You can try it without signing up.
- Native iPhone and Android apps, with offline entry.
- Shows a trip's total in one currency.
- Its Splitwise importer brings over group expenses, not just balances.

## Which should you pick?

**Pick SplitPro if** you split with the same people over time, like rent with roommates, and want every group and friend in one place, or you prefer open source software.

**Pick Tricount if** you want a phone app with offline entry for a trip and people to join without an account.

## Common questions

### Is Tricount free?

Yes. Tricount says it is free with no limits. It is owned by the bank bunq. SplitPro is free too, with no daily limit.

### Can I use SplitPro without an account, like Tricount?

Yes, with quick split. Add names and expenses and share one link; everyone can see and edit the split without signing up. For costs you share over time, a free account keeps a running tab across groups and friends.

### Which is better for a trip abroad?

Tricount works offline and can show the trip total in one currency. SplitPro keeps each expense and balance in the currency you paid in, and needs a connection to add expenses.

### Can I move from Tricount to SplitPro?

There is no Tricount importer. Settle up in Tricount, then create the group in SplitPro and add new expenses there.
