The Best App to Split Restaurant Bills
No more awkward math at dinner. Split Ease scans your receipt with AI, lets you assign each item to the right person, and calculates everyone's fair share — including tax and tip — in under 15 seconds.
Why equal splitting isn't fair
You ordered a $14 Caesar salad. Your friend ordered a $42 ribeye and two cocktails. Splitting the bill equally means you're subsidizing their dinner. It happens all the time, and most people are too polite to say anything. But over dozens of meals, these small inequities add up — and they quietly erode trust in friendships.
The fair solution is item-level splitting: everyone pays for exactly what they ordered, plus their proportional share of tax and tip. The problem is that doing this manually is tedious, error-prone, and kills the mood. That's exactly the problem Split Ease solves.
How it works at a restaurant
When the check arrives, open Split Ease and scan the receipt. The AI receipt scanner reads every item and price in seconds. Then tap each item to assign it to whoever ordered it. Shared items — an appetizer for the table, a bottle of wine — get assigned to multiple people and the cost splits evenly among them.
Choose your tip percentage (or enter a custom amount), and Split Ease calculates each person's total. Tax and tip are distributed proportionally based on what each person ordered — the person with the $42 steak pays more tax and tip than the person with the $14 salad. Share the breakdown via any messaging app, and everyone can see exactly what they owe and why.
Splitting with large groups
Large group dinners are where bill splitting gets truly painful. A table of 8-12 people with 30+ items on the receipt? Manually calculating each person's share could take 10-15 minutes of squinting at a receipt, arguing about who had what, and doing math on phone calculators. With Split Ease, the process stays the same whether it's 2 people or 20: scan, assign, share. The AI handles the complexity.
Business dinners and team lunches
When you're splitting a business dinner with colleagues, accuracy matters. You may need to submit an itemized breakdown for expense reimbursement. Split Ease generates clear, professional summaries showing exactly what each person ordered and their total — perfect for forwarding to your finance team or attaching to an expense report.
