If you opened Honeydue today and got a shutdown notice, you're not alone. Millions of American couples relied on it to track shared expenses, split bills, and keep their finances transparent. For a decade, Honeydue was the go-to app for couples who wanted to avoid the "who paid for what?" arguments.
But on April 24, 2026, Google finally pulled the plug.
The anger is real. You've built your financial routine around Honeydue. Your data is on there. Your partner knows how to use it. Losing it feels like losing a tool you trusted.
Here's the good news: you don't have to rebuild from scratch. There are solid alternatives out there, and we're going to walk you through the best one for couples like you.
Honeydue wasn't just another expense tracker. It was designed specifically for couples. Here's what made it stand out:
Google acquired Honeydue back in 2018, but they never really knew what to do with it. It sat in their product portfolio without meaningful investment, and last year, Google decided to sunset it. The message is clear: unless an app makes money, even good products get discontinued.
Not every expense tracker is right for couples. Here's your checklist:

If you loved Honeydue, Splitt hits all the same notes — and goes further in some ways.
Same couple focus. Splitt is designed from the ground up for couples. No groups. No roommate mode. Just you and your partner, managing your finances together. When you log in, you see your couple's expenses, your couple's balance, your couple's financial picture. The app doesn't get distracted trying to be everything to everyone.
100% free. Forever. You'll never see a paywall on core features. Add expenses, track balance, view charts, see your spending history — all free. Premium exists (for customers who want advanced features), but the free tier is genuinely complete. You won't hit a ceiling and suddenly feel forced to upgrade.
Works in any browser. Splitt is a Progressive Web App (PWA). Open splitt-app.com in Safari, Chrome, Firefox — desktop, tablet, phone. No app store. No installation. Your data syncs in real-time across all your devices. If you have no signal, Splitt still works offline. The moment you're back online, everything syncs automatically.
Simple by design. Like Honeydue, Splitt doesn't overwhelm you. You log expenses, Splitt calculates who owes what, and you settle up when you're ready. Charts show your spending trends. That's it. No budget templates. No investment tracking. No noise. Just a tool that does one thing really well.
Real-time sync. Your partner adds an expense, you see it immediately. No refresh needed. No "let me check the latest version." Splitt uses Firebase Firestore for instant synchronization, so you're always looking at the same data.
Privacy built in. Your financial data never leaves your control. Splitt uses end-to-end architecture — your couple's data is yours. No selling to marketers. No tracking pixels. No surprise data breaches. The team behind Splitt believes couples' finances should be private, and they've built the app that way.
Works on any device. Splitt adapts to iPhone, Android, desktop, laptop, tablet — whatever you're using today and whatever you get in the future. One account. Instant sync across all devices. Log an expense on your phone, see it on your laptop 3 seconds later.
Open your browser (any browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Go to splitt-app.com. That's it. No installation. No app store. Just open it.
Create an account with your email and a password. Or sign in with Google. Then invite your partner with their email. Your partner gets a notification, joins, and you're both set up.
Hit the + button. Say "Dinner: $84." Select who paid. Splitt calculates the rest. Keep adding expenses, and the balance updates in real-time. When you're ready to settle, hit the settlement button and you're done.
That's literally it. No configuration. No budget categories to set up (though you can add them if you want). No complexity. Just you, your partner, and your shared finances.
Yes. 100%. Unlimited expenses, real-time sync, charts, history — all free. Premium adds features like advanced analytics and future-planning tools, but the core "couples expense tracker" is free forever. We believe couples shouldn't have to pay to track shared money.
Honeydue's data is being shut down, so unfortunately there's no official import path. But Splitt only needs a few key details (who paid, how much, for what) to get you up and running. Most couples can be fully set up in under 5 minutes. If you want to manually recreate recent transactions, Splitt makes it fast.
Splitt's core focus is tracking shared expenses and calculating balances. Advanced features like bill reminders are in the premium tier. But for the main use case — logging who paid for what — Splitt delivers instantly.
Yes. Splitt works worldwide, including all 50 US states. You can use USD, add expenses in any currency, and everything syncs across devices instantly. No regional restrictions.
Google acquired Honeydue in 2018 but never fully integrated it into their product strategy. In April 2026, Google decided to discontinue the app. Honeydue was a great tool, but without a clear monetization strategy or integration with Google's broader goals, it didn't survive. It's a reminder that relying on free apps from big companies carries risk — but Splitt is built differently.
Honeydue is gone, but the need for it isn't. Couples still need to track shared expenses, avoid arguments about money, and keep their finances transparent. Splitt picks up where Honeydue left off — and does it better in some ways.
You don't need to wait. You don't need to rebuild. You don't need to download another app. Just open splitt-app.com right now, invite your partner, and start logging expenses. In 2 minutes, you'll have what took Honeydue 10 years to build.
✨ Your couples expense tracker is waiting.
Free. Simple. Instant sync. Works offline. No credit card required.
