One person pays for the app. Everyone else joins free.
Split the subscription four ways and it costs less than a coffee per person for the entire year.
Why student expenses get chaotic
Nobody has a system
First time living away from home means first time splitting bills. Most people wing it. That works for a month.
Tight budgets make every dollar matter
When you're living on financial aid and a part-time job, an untracked $30 grocery run actually hurts.
Asking friends for money feels bad
You covered pizza last weekend. Asking for $8 back feels petty. So you don't. And it keeps happening.
Venmo requests pile up
By November, nobody knows who owes what anymore. The running total exists only in someone's head.
One place for all shared costs
Are We Even keeps a running balance between everyone in your group. Add expenses as they happen. Settle up at the end of the month. No awkward Venmo requests. No mental math. No resentment over who paid for the Uber.
- Running balance updates automatically

What students typically split
Why students switch from Venmo-only tracking
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| Venmo requests | no running balance, just individual asks |
| Text reminders | get ignored or forgotten |
| Spreadsheets | nobody wants to maintain one |
| Splitting at the register | holds up the line, causes math errors |
| Are We Even | automatic running balance, settle once a month |
