A bill splitting app that splits by what you actually had

A bill splitting app with the itemized receipt already in it. Tap the items that were yours, and tax and tip divide to match.

Friends share a meal at a restaurant

The receipt comes in item by item seconds after you pay, and you tap what you ordered.

Bill splitting item by item, or evenly

The receipt arrives itemized, and each item can go to one person or be shared between a few. Tax, service charges and tip are divided according to what each person actually ordered.

  • Give an item to one person or share it between several
  • Tax, service and tip divided by what each person ordered
  • Splitting evenly is still one tap

Nobody has to add the bill

When you pay at a connected restaurant or store, the bill shows up by itself. You can suggest the split before anyone has left the table. Groups stay saved too, whether it's the apartment, the trip or the rec league team.

  • Receipts come in on their own sent through Smartbills
  • Groups stay saved. Set up your regular crowd once
  • Everyone sees the same receipt before the split

Settling up closes the balance

Each person has one running balance. A month of dinners adds up to a single number. Pay it back however you already pay each other.

How split & settle works

  1. Pay the bill

    Use your own card. At connected restaurants and stores the itemized receipt arrives within seconds. Elsewhere, upload it or take a photo.

  2. Tap what was yours

    Assign each item to a person or share it. Tax and tip follow what each person ordered.

  3. Share with the group

    Everyone sees the same receipt and the same split in their free Smartbills account.

  4. Settle up

    When the money lands in a connected account, it's matched and the balance clears itself.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before they sign up.

A bill splitting app works out who owes what after a shared meal or purchase and keeps track until everyone has paid. Smartbills starts from the itemized receipt. Each person taps the items that were theirs and tax and tip are split to match.

Yes, a free account. They need one to see a split and respond to it. If someone hasn't signed up yet, you can still text or email them their share.

It doesn't, and it won't guess. Everyone gets the same itemized receipt, and picking out your items takes about four taps. What the app takes away is the retyping, the math and the remembering.

They're divided across the items each person had, in proportion to what those items cost. That's the fair way to do it, and it's the math nobody bothers with at the table.

Yes, anything with an amount, like rent, a booking or a deposit. Without a receipt there are no items to split, so that entry works the way it would in any other splitting app. The difference shows up whenever there's a real receipt, which is most of the time.

No. You pay each other back the way you already do, by e-transfer, bank transfer or cash. Smartbills notices when the money lands in a connected account and clears the balance, which is the step people usually forget.

Splitting is free on the free plan. The paid plans add volume and business features, and the pricing page shows what each one includes.

No. You share one bill at a time. Someone you split dinner with sees that dinner's receipt and nothing else: not your other receipts, not your balances with other people and not the card you paid with.
