Babies are expensive. Tracking who paid shouldn't be.
Split diapers, daycare, gear, and everything else between parents, grandparents, and family. One place for every baby expense. Clear balances, no spreadsheets.
This is for you if...
- ✓You're buying diapers every week and losing track of who paid last
- ✓Grandparents want to help but nobody's tracking their contributions
- ✓Daycare costs are split between parents and the math is getting complicated
- ✓You want to focus on the baby, not on expense management
New babies bring enough sleepless nights. Money confusion shouldn't be one of them.
Built for families who share costs
Are We Even helps families track shared expenses without spreadsheets or uncomfortable conversations — whether it's new parents splitting costs or extended family chipping in.
No baby registry features.
Just clear, fair expense tracking.
Why baby expenses get overwhelming
The costs never stop
Diapers, formula, clothes, toys, doctor visits. Every week brings new purchases that need to be split between parents or family members.
Family help is generous but untracked
Grandma bought the stroller. Uncle sent a check for daycare. Without tracking, contributions get lost — and so does the fairness.
Co-parents need financial clarity
Whether together or separated, both parents need to see what's been spent on the baby and who's covering what.
Small purchases add up fast
A $15 pack of diapers doesn't feel worth tracking. But 52 weeks of diapers, wipes, and formula adds up to thousands.
One group for every baby expense
Are We Even tracks every purchase — from the crib to the weekly diaper run. Parents, grandparents, and family members all see the same numbers. No chasing reimbursements. No guessing who bought what. Just a clear record of every dollar spent on your little one.
- Running balance between all contributors
- Quick-add expenses from your phone
- Family contributions tracked alongside daily costs
How it works
Create a baby expense group
Add both parents. Invite grandparents or family members who want to contribute. Share a link — no app download needed.
Log purchases as they happen
Diapers at Target, pediatrician copay, daycare payment — add it in seconds from your phone.
Track contributions from family
Grandma bought the car seat? Log it. Uncle sent money for daycare? Log it. Every contribution counts toward the balance.
Settle up when it makes sense
Pay back monthly, quarterly, or whenever the balance warrants it. Pre-filled payment links for any digital wallet.
Everything organized in one place
See every baby expense, who paid, and the current balance — without a spreadsheet or a shoebox full of receipts.

Grandparents, aunts, uncles — track everyone's contributions in the same group.
Flexible splitting
Split 50/50 between parents, adjust for income differences, or factor in family contributions.
Complete history
Every expense logged with date, amount, who paid, and the category. Useful for budgeting, taxes, or just knowing where the money went.
Common baby expenses people track
Why new parents move beyond Venmo and guessing
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| "I'll get the next one" | never actually balanced |
| Shared Amazon account | doesn't track who paid |
| Spreadsheet | abandoned after week three |
| Memory | unreliable on four hours of sleep |
| Are We Even | every expense tracked, running balance, family included |
You can start tracking from day one
Create the group before the baby arrives. Log the crib, the car seat, the hospital bag supplies. By the time you're home with the baby, the system is already working. Future you — running on no sleep — will be grateful.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can grandparents and family members be part of the group?
- Yes. Add anyone who contributes financially. They join via a browser link — no app download or account needed.
- Can we split costs unevenly between parents?
- Absolutely. Set any percentage split you want — 60/40, 70/30, or income-based. Each expense can have its own split.
- Is this useful if we're co-parenting from separate households?
- Especially useful. Both parents see every expense and the running balance, which reduces the need for money conversations.
