The best group expense tracker — for roommates, friends, and family
Tired of awkward "who paid for what" group chats? Expensely is a group expense tracker that adds shared expenses, splits them fairly, and — unlike Splitwise — flows your share into your real expense tracker so your monthly category breakdown is actually right.
Start freeWho it's for
- Roommates tracking rent, utilities, and groceries
- Trip planners handling shared hotels, taxis, meals across currencies
- Couples dividing daily life 50/50 or X/Y
- Families tracking shared household spending
- Friend groups who refuse to use Venmo for every coffee
How a group expense tracker should work
Create a group. Add members by email (they don't need an account yet). Log a shared expense — choose who paid, how to split it (equal, exact, percent, shares, adjustment), and tap save. Done. Per-person balances update live. When it's time to settle, the Simplify Debts toggle figures out the minimum number of transactions.

Group expense tracker alternatives
The big name is Splitwise — and it's a fine ledger. But Splitwise is just a ledger. Expensely is a real expense tracker that also splits, with receipt OCR, voice entry, AI anomaly detection, and forecasts. See the full honest comparison.
