Free Splitwise alternative
Split expenses with friends. Without the limits.
Split bills with friends without dreading it. Tab is free forever. No limits, no upgrade prompts, no friction between you and knowing where you stand.
Balances
You are owed $22.50
Expenses
All expenses and settlements
Why free?
Because a paywall killed the habit.
Splitwise used to be free. Then they introduced a paid plan and started nudging you toward it constantly. Three expenses and you hit a limit. Add another and you're staring at an upgrade prompt.
The subscription isn't worth it for what the app does. And the friction made me dread logging expenses, which meant I'd stop, lose track, and have no idea what I owed people or what they owed me.
That's the real cost. Not the subscription fee. It's the mental overhead of not knowing where you stand with people you care about. Tab is free because the moment it costs you something to log an expense, you stop logging.
How it works
Built for how you actually split
The parts that make it actually pleasant to use.
Voice expenses
Say "Alex paid 30 for groceries in Roommates" and it's logged. AI parses who paid what.
Flexible splits
Equal by default, or dial in amounts, percentages, or shares when the bill wasn't fifty-fifty.
QR invites
Show a QR. Friend scans. They're in. Same for tabs. No typing.
Real-time
New expense? You see who paid. Reactions, invites, and settlements too. Always in sync.
Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Simple enough that logging an expense takes seconds. Powerful enough for uneven splits, roommates, trips, and mixed currencies.
Log expenses in seconds
Just say what happened: "Alex paid 30 for pizza," and it's done. No tapping through forms.
Always with you
Use it on your phone, laptop, or tablet. Everything stays in sync so you're never out of the loop.
Know the moment it happens
Get notified when someone adds an expense or settles up. Alerts show who actually paid, even if someone else logged it. No more "did you add that yet?" texts.
Add people instantly
Show a QR code, they scan it, they're in. No usernames to type, no links to copy.
React to expenses
Drop an emoji on an expense. Great for a quick "thanks" or calling out that suspiciously expensive dinner.
Split it your way
Equal split by default, or set exact amounts, percentages that add up to 100%, or shares, whatever matches real life.
Works for trips abroad
Pick the tab's currency, log expenses in another, and Tab converts to the tab using live rates. Just log it and move on.
For any situation
Roommates, road trips, couples, friend groups. Create as many tabs as you need, with no limits.
