Why it exists
My friends and I used to try all kinds of apps to keep track of shared costs on our trips, and none of them fully did the job. Some had limits, some were packed with ads, and some were just awkward to use.
I travel a lot, so I decided to build the app I actually wanted: easy to use, nice to look at, and using the latest AI to scan receipts. That's how BuddyPay started.
It works just as well for roommates and dinners out. Everyone in the group sees the same clear record, so the numbers do the talking.
How it works
Create a room
Make one for a trip, an apartment, or any group that shares costs.
Add and split expenses
Split equally, by exact amount, by percentage, by shares or item by item.
Settle up
See who owes who, pay each other however you like, and record it in a few seconds.
What BuddyPay doesn't do
- It doesn't move money. You settle up outside the app, with cash or your usual payment app.
- It doesn't ask for bank access. You add expenses yourself, or scan a receipt with Plus.
- It doesn't show ads. That's true on the free plan and on Plus.
- It doesn't have a web app or recurring expenses yet. If you need either today, another app may suit you better.
Your data
Your expenses are only visible to the members of each room you're in, and we don't sell your data. The Privacy Policy has the full details, including how receipt scanning works.
