The Best Splitwise Alternative for India (Free, INR-First, No Ads)
Looking for a Splitwise alternative that actually understands India? Compare Hisab Kitab, Splitwise, and Splid — features, pricing, and which one to pick.
Splitwise pioneered the expense-splitter category, but if you're in India in 2026 you may notice friction: paise math that rounds oddly, upsells to Pro for basic splits, and no personal expense tracking. Here's a plain look at the alternatives.
Hisab Kitab (this app)
Free forever, INR-first, personal + group in one place, all split modes free, UPI-ready, works offline as a PWA. Made in India. Hosted in Mumbai.
Splitwise
The market leader. Works globally. Free tier is limited — unequal splits, itemised bills, and receipt scanning need Pro (~₹399/year). Free tier shows ads. Good if you split with international friends.
Splid
German app that's popular for one-off trips. Doesn't require signup — anyone with the group link can add expenses. Downside: no account means no history across trips, no notifications, and no personal tracking.
Tricount
Similar to Splid — good for trips, no accounts, group-based. Better UI than Splid but same limitation: it's a trip tool, not a life tool.
Which should you pick?
- Splitting only with friends in India, want personal tracking too: Hisab Kitab.
- Splitting with international friends who already use Splitwise: Splitwise, and pay for Pro so unequal splits work.
- One-off trip, don't want anyone to sign up: Splid or Tricount.
- Rent + roommates + long-term: Hisab Kitab (groups persist, notifications, PWA).
