No downloads. One person pays. Everyone splits.
Are We Even is an expense splitting app that works without anyone downloading an app. One person creates a group and shares a browser link. Friends open the link to view expenses, check balances, and add costs — no account required. Only the group creator pays, starting at $5/month or $3 for a 7-day Event Pass.
How it works
Create a group
Sign up, name your group, and add your friends. Takes about a minute.
Share a link
Send the group link via text, email, or any messaging app. Friends open it in their browser.
Track and settle
Everyone adds expenses, sees balances in real-time, and settles up with payment links.
Why only one person pays
Most expense apps require everyone in the group to download the app and create an account. Some charge each person. That's where adoption falls apart — half your group never bothers.
Are We Even flips this. One person handles the account for the whole group. Friends access everything for free through a browser link. No app store visits, no account creation, no payment details.
How competitors work
Everyone downloads the app. Everyone creates an account. Some apps charge per user. Half the group never signs up, so the app is useless.
How Are We Even works
One person pays $5/month or $3 for 7 days. Friends join via a link. Everyone can add expenses and see balances. Zero friction for the group.
What your friends see
When friends open your group link, they get full access — not a limited preview. Here's what they can do without paying or creating an account:
View all expenses
Every expense, who paid, how it was split. Full transparency.
Check balances
See who owes who and how much. Updated in real-time.
Add expenses
Anyone can log what they paid. Not just the account owner.
Settle up
Tap a payment link to send exactly what you owe via Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App.
View history
See past expenses and settlements. Nothing hidden.
Works on any device
iPhone, Android, laptop — if it has a browser, it works.
Ways to add expenses
Different situations call for different approaches. Use whichever is fastest in the moment.
Quick add
Type a title, amount, and who paid. Takes 10 seconds. Best for simple expenses like splitting dinner.
Receipt scan
Snap a photo of any receipt. AI extracts the amount, date, and vendor automatically. Just confirm and save.
Email forwarding
Forward digital receipts to receipt@areweeven.com. The expense gets parsed and added to your group automatically.
Manual entry
Full control — set the title, amount, date, category, split method, and who's included. For when precision matters.
How settling up works
Are We Even doesn't move your money — it generates pre-filled payment links so the right amount reaches the right person through your preferred wallet.
Venmo
Pre-filled with amount and note. One tap to send.
Cash App
Opens Cash App with the amount ready. Confirm and done.
Zelle
Direct bank-to-bank transfer. No fees, instant delivery.
PayPal
Works internationally. Pre-filled link opens PayPal.
Apple Cash
Built into iMessage. Tap the link, send from your iPhone.
Google Pay
Quick payments from any Android device or Chrome browser.
Why this actually works
Every expense splitting app faces the same problem: if half the group doesn't sign up, the app is useless. Are We Even solves this at the root.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do my friends need to create an account?
- No. Friends access the group through a shared link in their browser. They can view expenses, check balances, and even add expenses — all without creating an account or downloading anything.
- What can friends see without paying?
- Everything. Friends see all expenses, running balances, who owes who, and settlement details. Only the group creator needs a paid account.
- How do I invite people to my group?
- Share your group link via text, email, or any messaging app. When friends open the link, they're in. No app store, no signup form, no friction.
