Do my friends need an account or the app?

No. You send one link. They see every cost, their balance and how to pay you. Only the organizer needs a subscription.

How does it work out who owes whom?

It adds up what each person paid and their share of every cost. The difference is their balance. Then it pairs people who owe with people who are owed, so the group settles in fewer payments.

Can I split a cost unevenly?

Yes. Split equally, by shares when someone went twice, by percent, or by exact amounts. Leave out anyone who wasn’t part of a cost.

Can friends pay me through Trip Split?

No, on purpose. Add your Venmo, Cash App, PayPal or Zelle. PayPal and Cash App get a button that opens the app; Venmo and Zelle names are there to copy. The money never passes through us.

Can I add Trip Split to my home screen?

Yes. On iPhone, open Share in Safari and tap Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap Install app, or Add to home screen in Chrome’s menu. It then opens full screen, like any app.

Does it work offline?

No. It needs an internet connection to save costs and keep the shared link up to date.

Is it only for trips?

No. It works for roommates, group gifts, a bachelor weekend or a season of pickup games. Anywhere a few people pay for things and want to even up.

What happens to my trips if I cancel?

Trip Split keeps working until the end of the period you’ve paid for. Your trips stay on your account, so they’re there if you come back. The terms have the rest.
