Built for how people actually share costs
Are We Even is used by roommates, couples, friends, and co-parents to track everyday shared expenses. Not a budgeting app. Not an accounting tool. Just a clean way to log who paid for what and keep a running balance.
Fast enough to use at the register.
Clear enough to trust at settle-up.
Why most people give up on tracking shared expenses
It takes too long to log
If adding an expense takes more than a few seconds, you'll stop doing it. Friction kills consistency.
There's no single source of truth
Some expenses are in Venmo. Some in a text thread. Some in your head. Nothing adds up.
Receipts disappear
You meant to add that grocery run from last week. Now you can't find the receipt and can't remember the total.
Categories become a mess
Without structure, your expense list becomes a wall of random amounts with no context.
Track expenses the moment they happen
Are We Even is designed for speed. Add an expense in seconds — title, amount, who paid, how it's split. The app handles the rest. No setup time. No learning curve. No reason to put it off.
- Log expenses from your phone in under 10 seconds
- Receipt scanning extracts amounts and items automatically
- Full searchable history of every shared cost

You don't need to track everything perfectly
Start with the big stuff. Rent, utilities, groceries. 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 80% of expenses is enough to keep things fair.
