⚠️ Breaking (May 2026): Splitwise launched dark mode on May 18, 2026 — but simultaneously moved AI receipt scanning and credit card integration to Pro-only. The free tier is shrinking again.
Splitwise just dropped one of its most requested features ever: official dark mode, available on iOS and Android from May 18, 2026. Sounds great. Until you notice what else changed at the same time.
While the dark mode rollout made headlines, Splitwise quietly moved two more features to Pro-only: AI receipt scanning and credit card integration. If you're on the free tier, you just lost access to tools you may have been using for months.
| Feature | Before May 2026 | After May 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Dark mode | Not available | ✅ All users (finally) |
| AI receipt scanner | Available | Pro only 🔒 |
| Credit card integration | Available | Pro only 🔒 |
| Expense limit | 3/month free | Still 3/month free |
| Currency conversion | Pro only | Still Pro only |
The pattern is clear: Splitwise gives you a shiny new feature (dark mode, long overdue) while taking away others. The free tier keeps shrinking. And searches for "Splitwise free limits 2026" and "Splitwise alternative" have been climbing steadily — a clear signal that users are frustrated.
Splitwise was built for groups — roommates, trips, events. Couples using it are essentially paying for complexity they don't need, while being pushed toward a Pro subscription just to scan a receipt or sync a bank card.
If you're a couple tracking shared expenses (rent, groceries, subscriptions), you don't need group features. You need:
All of this, completely free, is what Splitt does.
Built for couples. No receipt scanner needed — just fast, honest expense tracking.

Tricount (now owned by bunq) is actively targeting Splitwise users with a direct migration feature and 35-language AI translations. It's a serious option if you split expenses in groups. But for couples? It's still group software with extra steps.
Splitt is the only app in this space built exclusively for two people managing shared finances. No group clutter. No migration wizard needed. Just you, your partner, and a clear balance.
💡 Tip: You don't need to import all your Splitwise history. Just add one "starting balance" expense that reflects what you currently owe each other, then start fresh. Takes 2 minutes.
Splitwise's May 2026 update gave free users dark mode (a cosmetic feature) and took away two functional ones (receipt scanner, card integration). The message is consistent: the free tier exists to convert you to Pro.
If you're a couple and you're tired of that game, Splitt is the alternative. No limits. No paywall. No dark pattern. Just a shared wallet that works.
