- ✓You need different split methods for different expenses
- ✓You're ready for something that handles settle-up, not just tracking
Tricount gets the basics right. But basics only go so far.
Built for groups worldwide
Are We Even works for trip groups, roommates, couples, and friends — whether you're in Berlin, Paris, Chicago, or anywhere else. One person manages the account. Everyone else joins free.
Expense splitting shouldn't depend on where you live or which app your friends already have.
Where Tricount falls short
No receipt scanning
You still type every amount manually. No camera capture, no item extraction, no automatic totals.
Limited split options
Equal splits work for simple cases. But rent by room size, dinner by what you ordered, or shared costs by income? Tricount doesn't handle that.
No built-in payments
Tricount tells you who owes what. It doesn't help you actually pay. You still open a separate app, type the amount, and find the recipient.
Offline-first tradeoffs
Tricount was built for offline use, which means syncing issues when multiple people add expenses at the same time. Real-time updates matter.
Track, split, and settle — in one place
Are We Even handles the full cycle: log expenses, split them flexibly, and settle up through pre-filled payment links. No switching between apps. No manual data entry. Receipt scanning extracts items automatically. Splits adjust per expense. Payment links open your preferred wallet.
- Receipt scanning with item-level extraction

Tricount is simple — and that's its strength
