Frequently Asked Questions

Split Ease's AI receipt scanner achieves 95%+ accuracy on clearly printed receipts. It recognizes item names, prices, subtotals, tax, and tip amounts from restaurants, grocery stores, bars, and retail shops worldwide. The scanner handles receipts in any language and currency, including faded thermal paper and crumpled receipts. For the small percentage of items that may be misread, you can tap to edit any item instantly — it's still much faster than manual entry.

Split Ease processes receipts using on-device AI, so your data stays private. You need an internet connection to use the app, but your receipt data is never uploaded to external servers. When you're ready to share results, send them via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any messaging app.

Tax is distributed proportionally based on each person's item totals — so if you ordered 30% of the items by value, you pay 30% of the tax. This is the fairest method, unlike equal splitting where someone who ordered a salad pays the same tax as someone who ordered lobster. For tips, choose from preset percentages (15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) or enter a custom amount. Tips are also distributed proportionally.

Yes — privacy is a core architectural principle, not just a policy. Split Ease processes all receipt images on your device using on-device machine learning. Your photos are never uploaded to any server. We don't collect, store, or have access to your receipt data, spending habits, or financial information. This is fundamentally different from apps like Splitwise that store all your expense data in the cloud.

Tap any scanned item to edit its name or price, swipe to delete incorrect items, or tap '+' to add missing ones. The app is designed so that even when the AI makes a mistake, correcting it takes seconds. Most users find that fixing a scan is still 5-10x faster than typing everything from scratch.

Absolutely. When you share results, recipients get a clear, formatted breakdown showing exactly what they ordered and what they owe — no app installation required. You can share via iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, email, or any messaging app.

Split Ease offers a free tier with 3 AI receipt scans per month plus unlimited manual bill entry. For unlimited scanning and all premium features, plans are $2.99/month or $7.99/year. That's significantly less than Splitwise Pro ($39.99/year) — and Split Ease includes AI receipt scanning, which Splitwise doesn't offer at any price.

The app interface is available in 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, and Japanese. The AI receipt scanner works with receipts in any language — it recognizes price formats across locales, whether it's $12.50, 12,50 EUR, or JPY 1,500.

Yes. Split Ease works great for business dinners, team lunches, client meetings, and office expense sharing. The detailed, itemized breakdowns make it easy to submit for reimbursement. Many users screenshot the summary or share it directly to their expense tracking system.

The biggest difference is how you enter expenses. Splitwise requires manual entry for every item and amount. Split Ease scans your receipt with AI and does it automatically. Split Ease also offers item-level splitting (each person pays for exactly what they ordered), requires no account, and keeps all data on your device. Splitwise is better for long-term group expense tracking with running balances.

When you're assigning items, you can tap an item and assign it to multiple people. For example, if three people shared an appetizer, assign it to all three — Split Ease automatically divides that item's cost equally among them. This applies to shared bottles of wine, family-style dishes, or any item the group enjoyed together.

Split Ease is currently an iOS app. However, this website offers free online tools — a bill split calculator, tip calculator, and rent split calculator — that work on any device with a browser. For the full AI receipt scanning experience, download the iOS app.
