Apps & tools

There are dozens of apps for splitting expenses: some built for group trips, some for personal budgeting, very few designed for a couple. Here we compare them on what matters day to day: what they cost, what the free plan really includes, how long it takes to log an expense and where your data goes.

We write down every app's limits, including DuoWallet's, since it's the app we build. When another app fits a situation better, we say so plainly.

You'll find head-to-head comparisons, alternatives to the best-known apps and a few simple tools, like a spreadsheet, for anyone who'd rather not install anything. Prices change often, so every article shows when it was last checked, and we revisit them every few months.
