Can I share one link with my group to track shared costs and see balances?

Yes. You send one link, everyone taps it, everyone adds what they paid. Splitsheet keeps a running tally so you always know who owes who. No app to download, no account to make.

How the link works

You create a Splitsheet and get one link. Drop it in your group chat. Anyone with the link can open it on their phone and start adding expenses right away. No one has to sign up first.

What everyone can do with it

Each person adds what they paid, what it was for, and who it covers. You don't need to be the one entering every receipt. The group fills it in together, whenever they think of it.

Seeing the balances

Splitsheet adds everything up and shows a simple balance for each person. You can see it the second someone adds an expense, so there's no end-of-trip surprise.

Settling up without ten separate payments

Instead of everyone paying everyone back, Splitsheet works out the fewest transfers needed to settle the whole group. Usually that's two or three payments total, not twelve.

Do people need an account

No. The link is the whole thing. No login, no password, no app store. That's on purpose, so nobody in the group gets stuck or skips adding their costs because signing up felt like a chore.

What it's good for

Weekend trips, shared flats, a group dinner where someone's card gets it all, a wedding where three people are splitting a gift. Anywhere a few people share costs and nobody wants to do math in their head.


Frequently asked questions

Can I share one link with my group to track shared costs and see balances?

Yes. One link opens a shared Splitsheet where anyone in the group can add expenses and see the current balances update live.

Does everyone in the group need to download an app?

No. The link opens in a browser. There's nothing to install and no account to create before you can add a cost.

How do balances get calculated?

Splitsheet totals what each person paid and what they owe, then shows a clear balance per person, updated as soon as a new expense is added.

Can the link show the fewest payments needed to settle up?

Yes. Splitsheet works out the smallest number of transfers that clears every balance, so people aren't sending each other five separate payments.

Is there a cost to use the shared link?

No. Splitsheet is free to use and doesn't require an account from you or anyone in your group.

What if someone in the group loses the link?

You just share it again. The Splitsheet itself doesn't change, and nothing that's already been added gets lost.
