TripKitty: Split Travel Costs

The holiday kitty, sorted: log a cost in 4 seconds, see who pays whom – e.g. 3 transfers instead of 10. First trip free, then a one-off purchase. No subscription. Ever.

Log it. Share it. Done. The fastest way to settle group trip costs. No account, no subscription, no ads – all data stays on your device. At the end: who pays whom? With as few transfers as possible.

Whoever runs the holiday kitty shouldn’t have to do the maths. TripKitty is built for the moment everyone is back from the slopes and someone still needs to log dinner: tap plus, type the amount, save – done in about 4 seconds, with the keypad open the instant the sheet appears. And at the end, the app works out who pays whom, accurate to the cent: 10 mutual debts become, say, 3 simple transfers.

WHAT TRIPKITTY DOES

• Lightning-fast entry: a standard expense takes about 4 seconds – plus, amount, save. • Personal items on a shared receipt: one supermarket shop for everyone, but David’s €12.90 is his alone – the rest is split fairly, with a live preview before you save. • Receipt photos: snap the receipt with your camera or pick it from your library — it lands in the PDF appendix automatically. Optional, never required. • Per-person factors (“counts as”): a child counts 0.5× and pays half a share everywhere – set it once, it applies to everything, even retroactively. • Per-expense weights: split the holiday cottage by nights (3/3/3/2/1.5) with a long press – only when you need it. • Final settlement “Who pays whom?”: all debts combined into a few clear transfers – tick them off as people pay up. • Accurate to the cent: the engine calculates in whole cents – €100 split three ways is 33.34 + 33.33 + 33.33. Totals always add up exactly. • Record payments: “Ben hands Anna €50 in cash” – so the settlement stays correct. • Refunds: security deposit returned, bottle deposit, cancellations – one switch handles it. • Share via WhatsApp: an interim update mid-trip or the final settlement at the end – the whole group stays in the loop. • Complete PDF: every expense, every balance, every transfer – ready to send and keep. Free. • Automatic backup to iCloud Drive plus file export and import – also free. • One currency per trip: euros or Swiss francs – handy for ski holidays in Switzerland.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Create a trip and add everyone who’s coming – first names will do.
2. Log expenses as you go: plus, amount, save. Payer and participants are sensibly pre-selected.
3. At the end, open the settlement: who pays whom? Share it via WhatsApp or send the PDF round.

PERFECT FOR

A cottage with your mates, ski holidays, stag dos and hen dos, family holidays, city breaks, camping, festivals, sailing trips – anywhere a group runs a kitty and nobody fancies working out who owes whom on the last evening.

HONEST PRICING

Your first trip is completely free – including the PDF, the backup, everything the app can do. No trial period, no locked features in your first trip, no surprises. Only when you create a second trip does TripKitty ask for one small one-off purchase – yours forever, Family Sharing included. No subscription. Ever.

By the way: only one person in the group needs the app – whoever keeps the kitty.
