I tested 6 bill splitting apps — then built a better one
I'm a solo developer, I wanted to build one thing and do it perfectly — a premium receipt splitting app with accurate AI scanning, clean UX, and no compromises.
Before building, I tested 6 popular bill splitting apps with the same real receipt. Some showed totals 2-4x the actual price. Most had cluttered interfaces. One requires a paid plan before you can even scan. Several force your friends to download the app just to see what they owe.
I spent months getting the details right:
- AI scanning that actually matches the real receipt total
- Clean, intuitive interface — scan, assign, send in under a minute
- Two ways to assign items: by person or by item (whichever feels natural)
- Tip and tax split proportionally — you ordered 30% of the food, you pay 30% of the tip
- Send payment requests via SMS or email — nobody needs to install anything
- No account required, no ads, no data collected
Free with 5 AI scans, all features unlocked. No paywall for core functionality. Built for iPhone and iPad.

I'd love honest feedback from the IH community — what would make this better?
