Scan the receipt.
AI splits the bill.

Point your camera at a restaurant bill or a supermarket receipt. Cost Share's AI reads every item and price, then you tap to assign each line to the people who had it. No typing, no calculator.

Why itemized splitting beats splitting evenly

Every line, read for you

AI extracts each item and amount from the photo, ready to assign.

Tap to assign items

Give the steak to one person, the shared starters to everyone, and the drinks to whoever ordered them.

Fair to the light eater

Itemized splits mean nobody subsidises someone else's three cocktails.

How to split a restaurant bill fairly

Splitting evenly is quick but rarely fair. When orders vary a lot, someone who had a salad and water ends up paying for someone else's steak and wine. Itemized splitting fixes that by charging each person for what they actually ordered.

Shared dishes, like starters, sides, or a bottle of wine for the table, are split between everyone who had some. Personal items go to one person. Tax and service are then shared in proportion to what each person ordered, so the person with the bigger bill also covers the bigger share of tip.

Doing this by hand means a calculator and a long pause at the table. Scanning the receipt does the reading for you, and assigning items is a few taps. If you just need a quick even or tip-inclusive split without the app, try our free bill split calculator.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an app that scans receipts and splits the bill?

Yes. Cost Share scans receipts with AI, itemizes every line, and lets you assign items to people so the bill is split by what each person ordered. It's free on iOS and Android with 20 scans a month.

How many receipts can I scan for free?

The free plan includes 20 AI receipt scans per month. Cost Share Premium gives you unlimited scans.

Can I edit the items after scanning?

Yes. Press and hold an item to change its name or price, check everything on the review screen before saving, and edit the expense afterwards if needed.

Does it work with receipts in other languages or currencies?

Yes. A scanned receipt is saved in the group's default currency, so set your trip group to the local currency (for example EUR in Lisbon) before scanning. Balances are converted with live exchange rates.
