Why switch from Splitwise?
Actually free — no ads
Splitwise's free tier is loaded with ads and restrictions. Cost Share gives you unlimited expense tracking, groups, and settlements with zero ads, forever.
AI receipt scanning on the free tier
Splitwise locks receipt scanning behind their $3.99/mo Pro plan. Cost Share includes 20 AI-powered receipt scans every month for free — just point your camera and split instantly.
Recurring expenses included
Split rent, subscriptions, or any repeating bill automatically. This is a premium feature in Splitwise — it's free in Cost Share.
Privacy first
Splitwise is ad-supported, meaning your financial data funds their business. Cost Share doesn't sell or monetize your data — period.
Multi-currency support
Traveling internationally? Cost Share handles currency conversion for free. Splitwise charges for this.
Clean, fast, modern
Built from the ground up with a modern UI. No clutter, no dark patterns — just a fast, intuitive bill splitting experience.
