Trip Cost Splitter alternatives

Trip Cost Splitter is a free prompt. Paste the messy list of who paid for what on a group trip. Get who owes whom, settled in the fewest possible transfers.

It is not always the right tool. Here is when something else wins, and when it does not.

  1. Dedicated tool

    Splitwise or Tricount

    Pick it if
    You want everyone to log expenses in an app during the trip.
    Pick Trip Cost Splitter if
    The trip is over, the expenses are a messy chat, and nobody installed anything.
  2. By hand

    A shared spreadsheet

    Pick it if
    Someone in the group loves spreadsheets.
    Pick Trip Cost Splitter if
    Nobody does, and the chat is the only record.

Where it falls short

It does not move money or fetch live exchange rates. Give it the rate you agreed on.
