Frequently Asked Questions

Is SplitPal completely free to use?

+

Yes! Splitting bills, tracking balances, and sharing tabs with your friends is 100% free with no monthly subscriptions or hidden charges. You can create as many groups, tabs, and expenses as you need. Our mobile app also offers an optional, premium receipt-scanning upgrade to support unlimited scans.

Do my friends need to download the app to see or settle their balances?

+

No! That is one of SplitPal's biggest advantages. Once you create an expense group or tab, you can instantly copy a unique sharing link. Your friends can open the link in any web browser on their mobile phone or desktop, view all itemized splits, and even add their own expenses without ever creating an account or downloading an app.

How does the OCR Receipt Scanning feature work?

+

With our mobile app, you can snap a photo of any printed paper receipt. SplitPal's cloud OCR automatically reads the text, isolates the line-item descriptions, subtotals, tax, and tip. Every user gets 5 free smart scans to try it out. To scan unlimited receipts, we offer a simple, budget-friendly one-time lifetime upgrade in the app—no monthly subscriptions required!

Can I pay my friends directly through SplitPal?

+

SplitPal acts as a high-fidelity expense logger and calculator. To prevent security delays, we do not directly process payments in our servers. Instead, we generate direct payment shortcuts for popular gateways like Venmo. When you tap "Settle with Venmo," SplitPal automatically launches the Venmo app with the exact recipient handle, settlement amount, and tab description already filled out, saving you time and preventing transfer errors.
