What Splitwise highlights
Groups and friends, expenses and debts, equal or unequal splits, percentages or shares, balances, debt simplification, recurring expenses, offline mode, cloud sync, categories, 100+ currencies and payment integrations. Splitwise Pro adds unlimited expenses, currency conversion, receipt scanning with itemisation, charts, search, default split settings, an ad-free experience and, in some countries — the United States on their plan page — import of bank or card transactions.
What Tricount highlights
An offer presented as 100% free, everyone able to add expenses and check balances, multi-currency with conversion, an offline mode with later synchronisation, insights and a built-in calculator, payment requests and integrated settle-up, plus a Splitwise importer based on a CSV export. Some bunq-related features also exist, but they depend on the user's context and do not apply to everyone.
Who should choose what?
Splitwise suits people tracking long-running accounts who will genuinely use the Pro features; the free plan's daily cap is the thing to check first.
Tricount suits groups who want everything free, especially while travelling, and who need to log expenses without a network.
The deciding factor is less the feature list than how many expenses you log per day and whether you have coverage when you log them.
A third option
If neither convinces you, our own app Pivunio takes a shorter approach: a group created in a minute, an invite link, four split modes and suggested repayments. It does not work offline and has no receipt scanning or insights — you decide whether those gaps matter for your group. See also Pivunio vs Splitwise and Pivunio vs Tricount.
