Weekend trips shouldn't come with homework.
Track shared costs for cabin trips, beach weekends, and group getaways. Log expenses as they happen, split everything fairly, and settle up when you're home.
This is for you if...
- ✓You're splitting a cabin rental with three other couples
- ✓Someone's covering gas, someone else is buying groceries, and nobody's writing it down
- ✓The last weekend trip ended with an awkward group text about money
- ✓You want to enjoy the weekend without being the one tracking every dollar
Weekend trips are supposed to be easy. The money part should be too.
Built for short trips with real groups
Are We Even works for quick weekend getaways just as well as longer trips. Fast enough to log between stops. Simple enough that everyone actually uses it.
Why weekend trip expenses get messy
Too short to formalize, too expensive to ignore
A weekend trip might cost $200-500 per person. That's real money, but nobody wants to set up a spreadsheet for two days.
Gas, food, and lodging blur together
Who paid for gas on the way up? Who covered breakfast? The cabin was on whose card? By Sunday, it's all a blur.
"Just Venmo me" doesn't scale
With six people and a dozen shared expenses, individual Venmo requests become a full-time job.
Nobody wants to bring it up
Asking friends for money after a fun weekend feels awkward. So people absorb costs they shouldn't.
Log it Saturday. Settle it Sunday.
Are We Even keeps a running tab for the whole weekend. Everyone adds expenses from their phone. When you're packing up to leave, the balance is already calculated. One payment per person. Done before you get home.
- Add expenses in 10 seconds flat
- Everyone sees the running balance
- Settle up before the weekend ends

What weekend groups typically split
How weekend groups handle money today
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| "I'll get this one" | uneven and untracked |
| Splitting everything 50/50 | not everyone does every activity |
| Texting amounts after | nobody remembers by Monday |
| Spreadsheet | overkill for two days |
| Are We Even | fast logging, real-time balance, settle Sunday |
It's only a weekend — why bother tracking?
Because $300 split six ways is worth tracking. Because someone always ends up paying more. And because doing it takes less time than one gas station stop. Set up the group in 30 seconds. Log each expense in 10 seconds. Settle up in one minute. Total effort: less than the drive home.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it worth using for just a two-day trip?
- Absolutely. Weekend trips have 10-15 shared expenses. Without tracking, someone always overpays. Setup takes 30 seconds.
- Can I add people who don't have the app?
- Yes. Share a link. They join in their browser. No download, no account needed.
- What if we want to exclude someone from one expense?
- Each expense lets you choose exactly who's included. Dinner for six, activity for four — each splits separately.
Weekend trips should end with good stories, not money stress.
