The fairer Splitwise alternative
for every group
Trips, dinners, events, flatmates — split any shared cost fairly. MyFairMate does everything you use Splitwise for — with free receipt scanning, where Splitwise keeps it behind Pro. Sharing a home? It goes further still.
From $1.99/mo — does more than Splitwise Pro, for less.
Why people switch from Splitwise
Splitwise handles the basic tab — then puts the genuinely useful bits behind Pro. MyFairMate gives you more, for more kinds of group.
Receipt scanning — free
Snap a photo and MyFairMate reads the amount, date and category and files the receipt to the expense. Splitwise locks receipt scanning behind its paid Pro tier; MyFairMate hands it to everyone.
Fair splits, fewest payments
Split any expense the fair way — equal, by percentage or exact amounts — then settle up in the fewest payments, so nobody chases small change. That's the whole point, and it's free.
Invite by QR, WhatsApp or email
Add members however suits — a QR scan, a WhatsApp message, or an email invite (a share link and contacts too). Getting a trip, dinner or group going takes seconds.
And it runs a whole home
Share a place? MyFairMate does what no splitter does: tracks the security deposit, keeps a shared house fund, and splits rent & bills every cycle. The everyday splitter and the household layer, in one app.
Your weekly club runs itself
Badminton night, book club, five-a-side — set the schedule once and MyFairMate opens every session, asks who's in, adds the fees and splits them across whoever plays, with reminders for whoever hasn't paid. In Splitwise, every week is another round of manual expenses and chasing.

Switching from Splitwise to MyFairMate
There's no automatic import (yet), but moving over is clean — because you start from a settled slate, nothing is lost.
Settle up in Splitwise first
Use Splitwise's settle-up to clear any open balances so everyone starts even. A trip ending or the end of a month is the natural moment to switch.
Create your group in MyFairMate
Make a free account, set up your group — a trip, a dinner, an event or a house share — and invite members by QR scan, WhatsApp or email (a share link and contacts too).
Split fairly and settle up
Add expenses, scan receipts free, and settle with the fewest payments. Sharing a home? Add the security deposit, house fund and monthly rent & bills too.
The bottom line
A holiday, a group dinner, the flat you share, the club that meets every week — MyFairMate splits it fairly, and hands you the thing Splitwise charges for — receipt scanning — free. Sharing a home? It tracks the deposit, house fund and rent. Running a club? Sessions open and bill themselves. One app, fair for everyone. (Need an iPhone app this minute? MyFairMate's is on the way.)

Questions
Is there a free Splitwise alternative?
Yes. MyFairMate is free to start, and includes 5 Smart Receipt Scans a month on the free plan — Splitwise puts receipt scanning behind its paid Pro tier entirely. A Premium tier ($1.99/mo or $19.99/yr) unlocks extras, but everyday splitting, the security deposit tracker and the shared house fund are available without paying.
Can I import my Splitwise data into MyFairMate?
There's no automatic Splitwise import yet. The clean way to switch is to settle any open balances in Splitwise first, then start fresh in MyFairMate — create a free house, invite housemates by QR code, and add the deposit and house fund. Because you begin from a settled state, nothing is lost.
Why is receipt scanning free in MyFairMate but paid in Splitwise?
Splitwise keeps receipt scanning inside its paid Pro tier. MyFairMate includes it for free — snap a photo and it reads the amount, date and category and attaches the receipt to the expense — because filing receipts is everyday, not a premium extra. (As of July 2026; check each app for the latest.)
Does MyFairMate work on iPhone like Splitwise?
MyFairMate runs on Android and any browser today, with an iOS app coming soon — so if you're on Android or the web, you're ready right now. (If you specifically need an iPhone app this minute, that's the one thing to wait on.)
Is MyFairMate cheaper than Splitwise Pro?
MyFairMate Premium is $1.99/mo (or $19.99/yr) and includes Smart Receipt Scan. Splitwise Pro is $4.99/mo and puts receipt scanning behind it — about 60% less per month. MyFairMate also has a genuinely useful free tier, including 5 receipt scans a month. (Prices vary by region and change — check the app stores.)
