Group trips are fun. Group math isn't.
Track expenses before, during, and after the trip. Handle uneven splits, multiple payers, and settle up with the fewest transfers possible.
This is for you if...
- ✓You're organizing a trip and already dreading the expense conversation
- ✓Last time, one person paid for everything and chased people for weeks
- ✓Some people want the nice restaurant and some want tacos — and you need to split accordingly
- ✓You want everyone to have fun without money getting in the way
Group trips create great stories. They shouldn't create financial stress.
Designed for group dynamics
Are We Even handles the complexity that group trips create — multiple payers, different activities, uneven splits — without making anyone the designated accountant.
Everyone sees the same numbers. Nobody gets left out.
Why group trip expenses go sideways
The organizer becomes the bank
One person books the house, the car, the tickets. They're out thousands of dollars before the trip starts.
People participate in different things
Skydiving for three, spa for two, dinner for everyone. Equal splits don't reflect reality.
Nobody wants to be the money person
Tracking expenses while everyone else is having fun is a thankless job.
Post-trip collection is painful
"Hey, you still owe me $187" texts three weeks later never go well.
Everyone tracks. Everyone sees. Everyone settles.
Are We Even makes it easy for anyone in the group to log an expense from their phone. No single person bears the tracking burden. When the trip ends, the app calculates who owes whom — with the fewest payments possible.
- Distributed logging — anyone can add expenses
- Custom splits per expense
- Optimized settlement with minimum transfers
How it works
Create the trip group
Set it up when you start planning. Add everyone via a shareable link.
Log pre-trip expenses
Deposits, flights, tickets — start tracking before you leave.
Track expenses during the trip
Meals, taxis, activities. Anyone adds, everyone sees the balance.
Settle up when you're home
The app shows who owes whom. Pay via Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App.
Your group trip, fully tracked
Every expense — from the Airbnb deposit to the last airport coffee — organized with amounts, payers, and splits.
Features
Flexible splits
Equal, percentage, exact amounts, or by item. Each expense splits however makes sense.
Multiple payers
Different people pay for different things. The app tracks it all and nets everything out.
Pre-trip expenses
Start logging deposits and bookings before the trip even starts.
Settlement optimization
Six people, one settle-up. The app minimizes the number of payments needed.
What group trip organizers track
How groups handle trip expenses today
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| One person pays everything | unfair financial burden |
| Taking turns | never actually balances out |
| Post-trip spreadsheet | nobody agrees on the numbers |
| Venmo requests | 25 separate requests |
| Are We Even | shared tracking, automatic math, one settlement |
The bigger the group, the more you need this
Small groups can get away with informal tracking. But once you're past four people, the math gets exponential. Eight people with five days of expenses means dozens of transactions to reconcile. Are We Even handles it in seconds. The group just logs expenses as they happen.
