Receipt scanning · Charts · Recurring bills — Pro
Snap the receipt. Split the bill. Stay buddies.
Scan receipts instead of typing, watch spending in clear charts, and let rent and subscriptions add themselves. Then settle up with fewer payments.
New signups: 7 days of Pro. No card. No automatic charges.
Everyone in a group needs their own Broke Buddies account — ask friends to sign up before you add them by email.

SHARED BILLS, YOUR WAY
Looking for a Splitwise alternative?
Broke Buddies helps roommates, trip organisers and friends split shared expenses, track who owes whom, and record payments. Here’s what you get.
100 free expenses a month
Add up to 100 shared expenses per person each UTC calendar month, across all your groups. There’s no daily cap; expenses friends add don’t use your allowance.
A shared view of house money
Free includes the roommate dashboard, group and expense chats, equal, exact and percentage splits, and payment recording. Balances stay separate in 12 supported currencies.
Pro when you want more
Pro adds receipt scanning, recurring bills, spending charts, monthly budgets, weighted splits, 1 GB of bill file storage and no monthly expense cap. Free includes 25 MB of bill file storage.
Pro is $3.99 USD/month or $29.99 USD/year, per person.
New accounts get 7 days of Pro after email confirmation, with no card required and no automatic trial charges. Paid plans renew automatically; applicable tax is shown at checkout.
Everyone in a group needs their own account, and each person needs Pro to use premium actions. Set up your group and add friends by their sign-up email. Recording a payment tracks a settlement—it doesn’t transfer money.
Broke Buddies is an independent app, not affiliated with Splitwise.
FREE VS PRO
Start free. Share smarter with Pro.
Free covers everyday shared expenses. Pro adds the tools that save you time and help you see the bigger picture.
Try Pro free for 7 days after confirming your new account. No card required. The trial ends without billing; choose a paid plan only when you’re ready.

Friends need their own accounts. Each person needs Pro for premium actions; existing balances and settlement plans stay readable on Free.
Free includes 100 expenses you add each calendar month across all groups, resetting on the first day at midnight UTC. Bills friends add don’t use your allowance. Deleting a bill doesn’t restore it. History, chats, and settle-up remain available.
Earn one free Pro month per referred friend after their third successful monthly payment or one paid yearly subscription. Signup alone doesn’t qualify.
