The newest bill-splitting apps are smarter, fairer, and even help you track spending automatically. Here are the top 5 tools keeping money drama out of friendships this year.

1. Splitwise (2025 Edition)

Splitwise is still the gold standard for bill splitting. The 2025 version includes real-time sync, recurring expenses, and Venmo/Cash App integration. It also uses smart AI to suggest fair splits based on previous habits—perfect for roommates and shared subscriptions.

2. Zently Pay

Built for co-living and shared households, Zently allows you to track shared expenses, manage group wallets, and set auto-reminders. Their new AI-powered “spending fairness meter” is surprisingly effective for keeping things equal.

3. SettleUp

With support for over 20 currencies, SettleUp is ideal for travel groups. It works offline too—perfect for camping trips or remote Airbnbs. The 2025 update offers receipt scanning, so you can just snap a bill and split it.
