Keep the whole trip in one place

This splitter is free forever and stays single-session. If you want the split, the plan, the map, and the group chat in one app instead of five, take the next step on your phone. Settlement still happens in your usual transfer app.

Why not just use Splitwise?

Splitwise built the category, and its cross-trip ledger is genuinely good. What changed is the free tier: it now limits how many expenses you can add in a day, runs ads, and pushes the upgrade on the whole group. For a single trip you just want to split and settle, this free Splitwise alternative removes that friction.

  • No daily expense cap. Log every coffee, taxi, and grocery run.
  • No account and no ads. Nothing about you is stored or sold.
  • Works offline, so end-of-trip settle-up does not need signal.
  • Copy the result into any chat. No one else has to install anything.
Honest about the trade
Single trip, not a ledger

This is a one-session calculator you copy and paste. If you want a running balance that syncs between phones across many trips, a dedicated ledger app still does that. NomadCrew in-app expenses are early and live inside the trip. Settlement still happens in Venmo, Revolut, or the bank app you already use.

What you keep
The whole group free

Nobody in the crew hits a paywall. The tool stays free no matter how many expenses you add.

1. Start with the full-trip number

Do not split line items blindly. First agree on the likely total for the trip so everyone is discussing the same reality.

  1. Estimate destination cost for accommodation, transport, food, and activities.
  2. Convert that into a realistic budget range for the whole group.
  3. Use the split framework only after the group accepts the baseline.

2. Separate shared and optional spend

One bucket for essentials, another for personal choices. That keeps fairness obvious and prevents resentment.

Equal-share examplesStay, airport transfers, SIMs, groceries, shared taxis
Opt-in examplesTours, shopping, nightlife, upgrades, solo detours

A simple split framework that works in real trips.

Use one owner per category, one shared source of truth, and a visible rule for how each category gets divided.

  • Assign exactly one owner to flights, one to accommodation, one to local transport, one to activities.
  • Note whether the category is equal-share, percentage-share, or opt-in.
  • Record payment timing so nobody fronts money without visibility.
  • Run a five-minute check at the end of each day and close the loop early.
Example category
Accommodation

Owner: Alex. Rule: equal split across everyone staying in the room. Settlement: after booking.

Example category
Surf lesson

Owner: Maya. Rule: opt-in only. Settlement: same day so the group does not carry fuzzy balances.

Common failure modes

Most groups do not fail because math is hard. They fail because the rules were never explicit.

  • No one knows whether an activity was mandatory or optional.
  • Two people pay for the same category without noticing.
  • Final reconciliation happens after the trip when context is already gone.
  • Accommodation gets split evenly even though not everyone used the same nights.

The splitter stays free. The app keeps the whole trip together.

This calculator is free forever, no account needed. NomadCrew is the group-travel app where the plan, the map, the chat, and in-trip expenses live in one place instead of scattered across five apps and a group chat. Android is in closed testing. Settlement stays in your usual transfer app.
