If you've been a Splitwise user for years and recently noticed that features you used to get for free are now locked behind a Pro subscription, you're not alone.
Splitwise is a great product — but it was built for groups of friends splitting trips and dinners. As it's grown, the business model has shifted. The free tier has gotten more restrictive, and for couples who just want to track two people's shared expenses, paying $3.99–$7.99/month feels like a lot.
⚠️ Splitwise Pro is now required for features like expense charts, currency conversion, and receipt scanning. The free tier is limited.
For most of its history, Splitwise was fully functional at no cost. You could:
That's changed. The app is still usable for free, but the product increasingly nudges you toward upgrading.
Beyond the paywall issue, Splitwise has another problem for couples specifically: it wasn't designed for two people. It was designed for groups. The UI, the flow, the notifications — all of it assumes you have multiple friends with complex overlapping debts to settle.
For a couple tracking who paid for rent, groceries, and dinners? That's overkill. You're using maybe 20% of the features and paying for the rest.
Splitt is a shared expenses app designed specifically for couples. Two people. One balance. Everything visible to both, in real time.

For the Splitwise balance you had before switching: decide together if it needs to be settled, note it down, and start clean. Most couples find a fresh start is easier than migrating months of data.
Splitt is deliberately simple. It doesn't do:
