Split expenses.
Keep friendships.

How it works

Three steps, about a minute

No onboarding checklist, no imports, no bank connection. Splitmama is a ledger, so it starts working the moment you type the first expense.

  1. Start a group

    A trip, an apartment, or just tonight's dinner. Add people by name — they do not need an account to show up in the ledger.

  2. Add expenses, split any way

    Equal, exact, percentage, shares or line-by-line itemized, with more than one payer if that is what happened. The math balances to the cent, every time.

  3. Settle in the app you already use

    Splitmama works out the fewest transfers that clear the group and deep-links you into Venmo, PayPal or UPI with the amount prefilled.

Early testers

Straight from the group chat

Splitmama is new. These are people who ran real trips through it — and that is the whole list, because we are not going to invent the rest.

Nine of us across three countries. One tap and it told us the four payments that clear everything.

Set up the Goa trip itinerary, linked every booking to an expense, and knew our per-head cost before we left.

No logo wall here

We could paste grey company logos and a made-up user count like everyone else. We would rather you open the app, run one group through it, and decide for yourself.

FAQ

The questions people actually ask

Is Splitmama actually free?
Yes. Unlimited groups, unlimited members, unlimited expenses, no ads and no feature paywall. There is no card field at signup because there is nothing to charge you for.
Does Splitmama hold or move my money?
No. Splitmama is a tracker, not a bank or money transmitter. When you settle up we open Venmo, PayPal or a UPI app with the amount and note already filled in — the transfer happens directly between you and your friend, and we never see it.
Do my friends need an account to be in a group?
No. Add someone as a name and they are in every split immediately. Send them an invite link whenever you are ready — when they claim it, the history they already have comes with them.
When do the AI features work?
Natural-language entry and receipt itemization are built but not switched on yet, so we label them rather than sell them. Everything else on this page works today. When they do land, the AI never writes to your ledger directly — you always see an editable draft first.
How does debt simplification work?
Instead of settling every individual IOU, Splitmama solves for the smallest set of transfers that clears the whole group — seven debts often collapse into two payments. You can always switch back to the raw who-owes-whom view.
Can I split things unevenly?
Equal, exact amounts, percentages, shares, or line-by-line itemized — with multiple payers on a single expense. Every amount is stored in integer minor units, so a three-way split of $10.00 comes out to $3.34 / $3.33 / $3.33 and never drifts by a cent.
Can I get my data out?
Any group exports to CSV in one click. No lock-in, no export paywall, no “upgrade to download your own data”.
How is my data protected?
Access is enforced by row-level security in Postgres, not just hidden in the interface — a row you are not a member of is not returnable to your session at all. Read the privacy policy for the full picture.

Your group will actually use this one.

No caps to hit, no ads to skip, no sign-up wall for the friend who never downloads anything. Set up your first group in under a minute.

Splitmama never moves money — we track it and hand you off to your own payment app.
