A Splitwise alternative for restaurant bills

Splitwise is a ledger: it keeps track of who owes whom across a group, month after month. The Bill Split does one job — the dinner bill. Snap the receipt, tap who had what, and send one link. Everyone sees their exact share, GST and service charge included, and pays you on UPI. Your friends install nothing and sign up for nothing.

When The Bill Split is the better fit

The bill is long and people ordered different things — some drank, some didn’t, three people shared the starters.
You want GST and service charge shared fairly without doing the maths at the table.
Not everyone will install an app or make an account just to pay you back.
You want to be paid tonight, on UPI, with the amount already filled in.

When Splitwise is the better fit

Shared costs that run for months — rent, utilities, a flat’s groceries.
A long trip where you settle once at the end, across many expenses.
Groups that spend in more than one currency.

How The Bill Split works

Snap the receipt. The AI reads the items, quantities and amounts. Fix anything it got wrong.
Tap who had what. Shared dishes are split by parts; tax, service charge and discounts are spread in proportion.
Send one link. Each friend sees their share and pays you directly from their own UPI app.

Common questions

Is The Bill Split free?

You buy a pass for the occasion — there is no subscription. One dinner: 24 hours with 3 AI scans for ₹15. A weekend away: 3 days with 6 AI scans for ₹29. A month of going out: 30 days with 20 AI scans for ₹79. Every pass includes unlimited manual splits. New accounts start with a free 24-hour pass and 3 AI scans to try it first.

Do my friends need Splitwise or The Bill Split?

Neither. They open your link in a browser, see their share and pay you on UPI. Only the person splitting the bill has an account.

Can I use both?

Yes. Plenty of groups keep a ledger app for rent and long trips and use The Bill Split for the dinner bill, where the hard part is working out who had what. If you track balances elsewhere, add each person’s final amount there.
