Create a group. Split costs. Even up.

See exactly how Are We Even works — from adding your first shared cost to settling up at the end.

The pattern

Every shared cost follows the same pattern.

Someone pays

One person covers the cost.

It gets shared

The group splits the cost.

People settle later

Everyone evens up when ready.

Are We Even keeps track of all of it — automatically.

Step by step

How it works

1

Create a group

Name it, add your people. You don't need to wait for everyone — add them by name and they can join whenever.

Takes about a minute. Share the link via text, email, or any messaging app.

Add shared costs

Whoever paid logs it. Pick how to split — equal, by amount, or by percentage. Add it once, Are We Even handles the rest.

Anyone in the group can add costs. Not just the account holder.

See where everyone stands

Balances update after every cost. Green means people owe you. Red means you owe them. No manual math.

Everyone in the group sees the same numbers, on any device.

Everyone sees the same numbers.

Most apps break down because half the group never signs up. Are We Even works differently — friends open a link in their browser. No app download, no account, no payment info.

No adoption problem

One person creates the group. Everyone else joins through a link. No app store, no signup forms, no "can you download this" texts.

One source of truth

Who paid, how it was split, where everyone stands. Updated after every cost. No side spreadsheets, no conflicting numbers.

Anyone can add costs

It's not just the account holder. Anyone in the group can log what they paid and how to split it.

Works on any device

iPhone, Android, laptop, tablet. If it has a browser, it works. No app download required for anyone.

No awkward reminders

The numbers are right there. Everyone can check where they stand anytime. No one has to play debt collector.

One person pays for the group

No per-person pricing. One account unlocks full access for everyone. Friends get everything — free.

Even easier

More than one way to log expenses.

Use whichever is fastest in the moment.

No waiting. No downloads. No spreadsheets.

Start right away

Add people by name. They join whenever they want. No waiting on everyone to sign up first.

Friends open a link

No app store, no accounts, no payment info. One person pays for the group. Everyone else is free.

The math happens automatically

Just log who paid and how to split. Balances, settlements, and simplifications happen on their own.

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 shared costs, check balances, and even add expenses — all without creating an account or downloading anything.
What can friends see and do?
Everything. Friends see all shared costs, running balances, who paid what, and settlement details. They can also add expenses themselves. 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.
What happens when my Event Pass expires?
Your group data stays intact. You can still view everything, but adding new costs requires either renewing the Event Pass or upgrading to the monthly plan.
Can friends add expenses too?
Yes. Anyone in the group can log what they paid and choose how to split it — not just the account holder.
