Quick decision guide
Use splitty when...
- You're at a restaurant and the check just arrived
- Different people ordered different things
- You want to send Venmo requests before leaving
- You need fair splits, not equal splits
- You don't want to create an account or invite anyone
Use other apps when...
- You're tracking ongoing expenses with roommates
- You need running balances over weeks or months
- You're on a multi-day trip with many shared costs
- You need Android or web access
- Everyone is splitting equally anyway
Save up to 37%
