Question 1

Is FairSplitter free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FairSplitter is completely free. All features — expense splitting, group management, multi-currency tracking, and settlement recording — are included at no cost with no subscription required.

Question 2

Do my friends need to install FairSplitter to split expenses?

Accepted Answer

No. You can add anyone by name and phone number without them needing the app — useful for splitting with people who aren't tech-savvy. If your friend does have FairSplitter, you can also link to their account by email or phone so you both see the shared balance.

Question 3

How do I split a bill unevenly between friends?

Accepted Answer

Tap Add Expense, enter the total amount, then choose a split method: Equal splits it evenly, Percentage lets you assign a share to each person (e.g., 60%/40%), and Custom lets you type each person's exact amount. FairSplitter automatically calculates who owes what.

Question 4

How do I settle up with friends?

Accepted Answer

FairSplitter shows your net balance with each person — who owes whom and the exact amount. When a payment happens (cash, bank transfer, UPI, PayPal, Venmo, or any method), you record it in the app to mark the debt settled. FairSplitter tracks the record; the actual money transfer happens through whichever payment method you prefer.

Question 5

Can I use FairSplitter for international trips with multiple currencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FairSplitter supports multiple currencies with automatic conversion, so you can add expenses in local currency (euros, yen, pesos, etc.) and see balances converted to your home currency. This makes it straightforward to settle up after an international trip.

Question 6

Can I use FairSplitter offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add and view expenses without an internet connection. Any changes made offline sync automatically when you reconnect.

Question 7

What's the difference between a friend and a group in FairSplitter?

Accepted Answer

A friend is a one-on-one connection for tracking expenses between two people. A group lets you add multiple people under one name (e.g., 'Bali Trip 2025' or 'Apartment 4B') so all shared expenses for that context stay organized together. You can have both: individual balances with each friend, and separate group balances.

Question 8

Can I edit or delete an expense after adding it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can edit or delete any expense at any time. Every change is logged in the activity history so all group members can see what was updated and when.

Question 9

How do I add a friend in FairSplitter?

Accepted Answer

You can add a friend by email address, phone number, or just their name. If they have a FairSplitter account, linking by email or phone connects your balances so you both see the same figures. If they don't have the app, adding them by name still lets you track what they owe you locally.

Question 10

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties.
