How Receipt Split works

From a crumpled paper receipt to a clear “you owe $14.50” — in three steps, on any phone.

Receipt Split is built for the moment after dinner when nobody wants to do mental math. You photograph the receipt, share a link, and everyone taps what they ordered. The app handles itemized splits, tax, tip, and couples paying together.

Step 1 — Add the receipt

Open the app and snap a photo of the bill, or paste an image from your camera roll. Our AI reads every line item plus subtotal, tax, and tip when they appear on the receipt. You can also add lines by hand — splitting stays free either way.

Signed-in users get 5 free AI scans to try the photo workflow. After that, you can top up with scan credits or go Pro ($2.99/mo) for unlimited scanning.

Step 2 — Share the link

Every receipt gets a unique URL. Text it to the table, drop it in the group chat, or let everyone scan a QR code. No one needs to install an app or create an account to view the receipt and pick their items.

Changes sync in real time. When one person assigns the shared appetizer, everyone else sees it update immediately.

Step 3 — Assign items and see totals

Add the people at the table, then tap each line to mark who shared it. Shared dishes split evenly across everyone you select. Tax and tip can be entered as a flat amount or a percentage — we distribute them proportionally based on each person’s subtotal.

Who is it for?

Friend groups splitting itemized restaurant tabs, roommates sharing takeout, travelers dividing a bill in a foreign currency, and anyone tired of “just split it evenly” when people ordered different amounts.
