Travel together. Split fairly. Stay friends.
Track every shared travel expense — flights, hotels, meals, taxis — and settle up with one payment when the trip is over. No awkward math. No forgotten costs.
This is for you if...
- ✓You booked the hotel on your card and need to split it four ways
- ✓Someone covered the rental car and someone else covered gas — and now nobody remembers the totals
- ✓You've been on group trips where the money conversation ruined the last day
- ✓You want to enjoy the trip, not track a spreadsheet
Travel expenses pile up fast. Without a system, the post-trip reckoning is always messy.
Built for travel groups
Are We Even is used by friend groups, couples, and families to split travel costs without spreadsheets, IOUs, or post-trip arguments.
Fast enough to log between stops. Clear enough to settle in one conversation.
Why travel expenses get messy
Different people pay for different things
One person books the hotel. Another pays for meals. Someone covers the rental car. By day three, nobody knows who's ahead.
Group sizes change by activity
Not everyone goes on every excursion. Splitting dinner eight ways when only six people went isn't fair.
Small expenses add up invisibly
Taxis, coffees, museum tickets, parking. Nobody tracks the $8 stuff. But over a week, it adds up to hundreds.
The "we'll figure it out later" trap
You never do. Three weeks after the trip, the details are gone and someone eats the difference.
Log it as you go. Settle when you're home.
Are We Even lets anyone in the group add an expense from their phone. Hotel, dinner, gas — takes 10 seconds. The app tracks who paid, who owes, and what the running balance is. When the trip is over, one optimized settlement covers everything.
- Log expenses from your phone in seconds
- Split by person or custom amounts per expense
- One final settlement instead of dozens of payments
How it works
Create a trip group
Name it. Add the people traveling with you. Share a link — no download needed.
Log expenses as they happen
Whoever pays, logs it. Hotel, dinner, tickets, gas. Ten seconds per entry.
Split each expense appropriately
Everyone at dinner? Split evenly. Only four people on the boat? Split among four.
Settle up at the end
The app calculates the minimum number of payments to square everyone up.
Your trip expenses, organized
Every expense logged with who paid, who owes, and the running group balance. No digging through messages or receipts after the trip.
Features
Per-expense splitting
Each expense can split differently. Museum tickets for three, dinner for six, hotel for everyone.
Receipt scanning
Point your camera at a restaurant bill. The app extracts items, totals, and tip automatically.
Real-time balances
Check who's ahead or behind from anywhere. The balance updates after every entry.
Optimized settlement
Instead of everyone paying everyone, the app calculates the fewest transfers needed.
Common travel expenses people split
Why travel groups ditch spreadsheets
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| Group text IOUs | forgotten by day three |
| Spreadsheets | nobody updates after the first day |
| One person tracks everything | ruins their trip |
| Venmo per expense | 30 requests in a week |
| Are We Even | everyone logs, one settlement, trip stays fun |
You don't have to track everything perfectly
Start with the big stuff — hotels, flights, dinners. Add smaller expenses when you remember them. The app doesn't require perfection. It just needs to be better than memory. Most groups find that tracking the major expenses is enough to keep things fair.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does everyone need to download the app?
- No. Share a link. Everyone joins in their browser. No downloads, no accounts required for group members.
- Can I split one expense differently than others?
- Yes. Each expense has its own split. Hotel splits among everyone. The guided tour splits among the four who went.
- What if I forgot to log something from two days ago?
- Add it anytime. Backdate the expense. The balance recalculates automatically.
Travel is better when money isn't awkward.
One group. Every expense. One clean settlement.
