Compare, money

Using Splitwise for a group holiday? Read this first

Splitwise is a good general-purpose split tool and plenty of groups have settled a holiday on it. If it works for your group, keep using it.

Two things are worth knowing before you run a stag, hen or group holiday on it. The free tier now caps how many expenses you can add per day and shows ads, with receipt scanning in the paid Pro tier. And a split tool only carries the money, not the trip.

What changed

As of 2025 the free tier limits you to a few expenses per day with ads, and features like receipt scanning sit in Pro at around five dollars a month. On a busy trip weekend, a daily cap is exactly when you hit it.

The bigger gap on a trip

A holiday is not only a ledger. The group also needs the plan, the votes, who has booked, the tickets and the confirmations. A split tool holds none of that, so the trip ends up spread across a chat, a spreadsheet and a split app.

The trip-shaped version

Sync Us tracks unlimited expenses inside the trip, free, alongside the plan itself. The who-owes-who view sits next to the vote, the booking checklist and the shared ticket wallet, so the money and the plan live in one place.
