One balance per friend
Each friend has one running balance with you. A month of dinners adds up to one number. Pay each other back however you already do.
Split from the receipt the restaurant sent, in a few taps at the table, and the balance clears when your friends' payments land.
Split dinner item by item
At a connected restaurant the itemized receipt reaches your phone seconds after you pay. Give each item to whoever had it, share the appetizers, and tax and tip follow what each person ordered.
- Tap what each friend had, or share an item between a few
- Tax and tip divided by what each person ordered
- Splitting evenly is still one tap
Groups for the people you see most
Save the regular crowd once: the Thursday dinner, the ski weekend, the hockey team. Costs without a receipt, like the cabin or gas money, split by amount in the same group.
- Groups stay saved. You set them up once
- Anything with an amount can be split, receipt or not
- Friends who haven't signed up can get their share by text or email
Why people switch
Splitting evenly is easy and rarely fair.
Splitting evenly means the friend who had a salad pays for someone else's steak.
Everyone sees the same itemized receipt and taps what was theirs. Tax and tip are divided by what each person ordered. Nobody has to make a speech about it.
Whoever paid for the trip spends the next week chasing everyone for their share.
Each shared cost is split when it happens and adds to one running balance per friend. The whole trip comes down to one number each.
Nobody wants to be the friend who sends the reminder.
When a friend's transfer lands in a connected account, Smartbills matches it to what they owed and clears it. The reminder rarely has to go out.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before they sign up.
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.
Yes. Splitting bills is included in the free plan, item by item or evenly. The pricing page shows what the paid plans add.
Yes, anything with an amount, like a cabin rental, gas or a group gift. Without a receipt there are no items. You split it evenly or by amount.
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.
No. You share one bill at a time. A friend 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.
You might not need to. If most of what you share has no receipt behind it, Splitwise does that well. Smartbills helps most when the bill comes from a restaurant or store, because the items are already there to tap.
