Co-parenting is complicated enough. Tracking expenses shouldn't be.
Keep shared costs transparent — from school supplies to sports fees — without spreadsheets, awkward reminders, or endless payment requests.
This is for you if…
- ✓You're constantly wondering who paid for the last school expense
- ✓You've sent "Hey, can you Venmo me for this?" more times than you'd like
- ✓You want financial clarity without constant conversations about money
- ✓You just want something simple that keeps things fair
Co-parenting works best when expectations are clear. The same should be true for expenses.

No accounting skills required.
Just clarity.
Why co-parenting expenses get messy
Small costs add up fast
School supplies. Sports registration. Doctor visits. None of them are huge alone, but together they become hard to track.
Money conversations get uncomfortable
Even when everyone is acting in good faith, reminders about money can create tension.
Payment apps don't track the bigger picture
Venmo records payments, not shared balances.
Spreadsheets turn into another chore
They work at first, but eventually someone forgets to update them.
One place to keep everything clear
Are We Even keeps a running balance between co-parents so everyone knows exactly where things stand. Add expenses as they happen and the app automatically tracks who paid and who owes what. No chasing payments. No forgotten expenses. No awkward conversations. Just clarity.
