tricount: Split & Settle Bills

What tricount is for in a shared household or trip

tricount is a group expense splitter. The listing points to trips with friends, rent and groceries shared with roommates, couples keeping joint costs in one place, and dinners or event costs split among a group.

Everyone in a group records what they paid, and the app keeps the running total so that no one has to chase receipts or check a chat thread to remember who covered what. The listing, published by bunq, says it has more than 17 million users.

Splitting a bill equally, by amount or by custom share

Each expense can be divided three ways: equally among the people involved, by a fixed amount per person, or by custom shares. That covers a restaurant bill where one person ordered less as well as a rent payment that is divided evenly.

The split is set when the expense is entered, so the figures that follow reflect each person's agreed portion without manual arithmetic.

Tracking shared costs and working out who owes whom

The app keeps every expense visible to the group as it is added. Its automatic calculations show the balance between members at any time, which is the point where a group decides who pays whom.

The developer describes settling up as needing little effort, with the app doing the calculation so the group can close out its balances.

Multiple currencies, offline logging and attached photos

Expenses can be recorded in more than one currency, which suits a group travelling or living across borders. The listing says the app works offline, so costs can be logged without a connection and synced later.

Receipts or other photos can be attached to an expense in high quality and kept with it, so the record of what was paid stays in one place.

The listing states the app is free, with no ads or limits.
