SplitSafe
A personal and group treasurer app that proposes who owes whom, drafts transfers to settle debts, requires group approval on unusual amounts, and keeps searchable receipts.
Roommates, friend groups, and family members splitting recurring bills, trips, and shared subscriptions
- Natural-language capture like 'we owe Alex for dinner' with auto-categorization
- Group approval flow for new destinations or amounts above a set threshold
- Receipt capture and per-person split suggestions with running balances
- Policy-gated bank or stablecoin payouts with full quote transparency
Group expense apps like Splitwise are 15+ years old and still leave the actual transfer to manual Venmo steps, while agent-native primitives now make policy-gated group payouts feasible.
Splitwise has 100M+ downloads and 20M+ active users across 190 countries; global bill-splitting market estimated at $612M in 2025, and multiple dedicated 'Splitwise alternatives' articles rank highly, indicating large, persistent consumer demand.Best Shared Expense Tracking Apps in 2024 ↗Bill Splitting Apps Market Size, Share, Industry Growth By 2035 ↗
The space is crowded with established players (Splitwise, Tricount with 21M users, Settle Up, Are We Even, SplitPilot, Spliteroo, Splid), and most already offer payment integrations and receipt scanning — the only meaningful novelty is agent-mediated/policy-gated payouts, which none ship today.7 Best Splitwise Alternatives in 2026 (Honest Comparison) ↗7 Best Splitwise Alternatives for Group Bills | Spliteroo ↗
Clear willingness to pay exists at ~$4.99-$5/month or $40-$50/year (Splitwise Pro $4.99/mo, Are We Even $5/mo with Event Pass $3) — consumers happily pay subscription fees for expense splitters despite free tiers.How much is Splitwise Pro?

Group expense splitting is a 15+ year habitual behavior (roommates, recurring subscriptions, trips, family) with durable demand; the agent-native payout angle aligns with emerging infrastructure like Google's AP2 protocol and the IMF/BoC work on agentic payments, suggesting a multi-year runway rather than a fad.How Agentic AI Will Reshape Payments - IMF ↗Google's Agent Payments Protocol AP2 ↗
A baseline expense-splitting app with OCR receipts is straightforward (well-trodden, multiple open-source references), but the differentiating agent-native, policy-gated payouts depend on still-maturing rails (Google AP2, bank rails) and require multi-party Venmo/Zelle/ACH integrations plus approval UX — meaningfully more complex than a vanilla Splitwise clone.The Agentic Payments Revolution: A Strategic Guide for Banks and Fintechs ↗7 Best Splitwise Alternatives in 2026 (Honest Comparison) ↗
