FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is ShareTheTab a free alternative to Splitwise?

Yes. ShareTheTab is a free, no-signup web app for splitting bills. Splitwise locks receipt scanning, charts, and currency conversion behind a Pro subscription, and it requires every person to make an account. ShareTheTab handles the most common task (figuring out who owes what after a meal) without any of that.

Do I need to install an app or create an account?

No. ShareTheTab runs in any browser, desktop or mobile, with nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.

Why did you build ShareTheTab?

I built this for my own friend group. Every time we'd go out, one person would foot the bill and then have to chase everyone down with math, screenshots, and Venmo requests. Every existing tool was either paid, required everyone to install an app, or was way more complex than splitting one dinner needs to be, so I made the simplest possible version.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Yes, it's genuinely free and there's no catch. I'm not expecting massive demand, so I'm happy to absorb the cost. If usage grows or I see abuse, I may need to revisit it, but the goal is to keep the core experience free.

How does the receipt scanner work?

Snap a photo and a multimodal LLM reads the receipt and pulls out each line item in a couple of seconds. You edit anything that's off, add tax and tip, and then share the code so everyone can claim what they ordered. The exact model swaps based on cost, usually one of the cheaper, faster vision models, but the flow stays the same.

How can I support the project?

If ShareTheTab saved you an awkward money conversation, you can buy me a coffee. Link coming soon. Sharing it with friends who'd find it useful also helps a ton.
