Hisab Kitab vs Tricount — split your trip and keep the group going
Tricount is great for one-off trips. Hisab Kitab works for the trip and the groups and the personal budget you'll want after. Free forever, UPI-first, offline-ready.
Short version
Tricount's strength is zero-signup trip splitting — anyone with a link can add expenses. The flipside is no personal account, no history across trips, no notifications, and no personal expense tracking. Hisab Kitab asks for a 30-second sign-up and in return gives you ongoing groups, cross-trip history, push notifications, personal budgets, and UPI settlement.
Pricing: Tricount is free with ads; Tricount Premium removes ads and adds auto-conversion.

Bottom line
Pick Tricount when you want to split one trip with four friends who don't want to install anything. Pick Hisab Kitab when the group will keep going — flatmates, same friend group, recurring events — because carrying the history across trips, having push, having UPI, and having a personal budget alongside is worth the 30-second signup.
Frequently asked
Is Tricount still a good choice?
Yes for the exact niche it owns: a one-off trip with people who won't install anything. Beyond that single trip, you lose the data and have to start over.
Does Hisab Kitab support trips?
Yes — create a group called "Goa 2026", add your trip-mates, log expenses as they happen, hit "Simplify debts" at the end to minimise UPI transfers.
