Roommate expenses without the drama.
Track rent, utilities, groceries, and shared costs in one place. No spreadsheets. No passive-aggressive sticky notes. Just clarity.
This is for you if...
- ✓You're the one who always pays the electric bill and waits to get paid back
- ✓You've texted "did you get my Venmo?" more times than you'd like to admit
- ✓The group chat about money has more tension than it should
- ✓You want things to be fair without being the person who keeps score
Living with people is great. Managing money with them shouldn't require a spreadsheet.
Built for shared living
Are We Even helps people split expenses clearly and fairly — from couples sharing rent to friends splitting trips. Thousands of roommates use it to keep shared costs simple.
No accounting degree required.
Just a running balance everyone can see.
Why roommate expenses get messy
Someone always forgets
One roommate paid the internet bill two months ago. Nobody remembers. Now it's awkward to bring up.
Venmo only goes one direction
Payment apps track transactions, not shared balances. You know who sent money. You don't know who actually owes what.
The mental load falls on one person
Usually the person whose name is on the lease. They become the unofficial accountant nobody asked for.
Small resentments build quietly
Nobody fights over $12. But months of untracked $12 charges create real tension.
One running balance for the whole household
Are We Even tracks every shared expense and maintains a clear balance between roommates. Add costs as they happen. Settle up when it makes sense. No chasing payments. No forgotten expenses. No loaded questions about who paid for what.
- Automatic balance tracking between all roommates
- Add expenses in seconds from your phone
- Clear history of every shared cost
How it works
Create your household group
Add your roommates. One person manages the account — usually whoever pays the landlord.
Log expenses as they happen
Rent, utilities, groceries, cleaning supplies. Add them when you pay them.
Set your split rules
Equal, by room size, by income, or custom. Different rules for different expense types.
Settle up monthly
Check the balance. Square up. Move on with your lives.
Everything in one place
See shared expenses, running balances, and full history without digging through Venmo receipts or old text messages.

Common roommate expenses people track
Why roommates move beyond Venmo and texts
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| Venmo requests | no running balance, just one-off payments |
| Group text messages | expenses get buried in conversation |
| Shared spreadsheets | someone always forgets to update |
| Taking turns paying | feels fair, rarely is |
| Are We Even | automatic shared balance everyone can see |
You don't need everyone to sign up
One person manages the account. Your roommates don't need to download anything or create an account. You track expenses, they see the balance. Adoption is the #1 reason expense-sharing tools fail. We designed around that problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do we handle unequal room sizes?
- Set custom split percentages. The roommate with the master suite pays more. The one with the converted closet pays less. Adjust once, applies to rent automatically.
- Can we split some things equally and others differently?
- Yes. Utilities split equally, rent by room size, groceries by who ate what. Each expense can have its own split rules.
- What happens when a roommate moves out?
- Settle the final balance and remove them. History stays intact. Add the new roommate and keep going.
Living together should be easy. Splitting costs should be too.
