SupportPay: Split Expenses is a dedicated mobile application designed to help groups of friends, roommates, or family members track shared expenses and divide costs automatically. It simplifies managing money spent together by keeping all transactions, settlements, and balances organized in one place. Perfect for keeping relationships clear after dinner, events, or recurring bills.

The core appeal lies in its simplicity and ability to prevent future confusion or awkward requests for money. Users can easily see exactly who owes whom and how much, turning complex expense-sharing into a straightforward process and promoting fairness in payments. It saves time by automating calculations and providing a transparent ledger for everyone involved with the group.

App Features

Create Groups and Track Members: Start a group for a specific outing or long-term living arrangement, then add everyone else involved. This simple setup lets you assign expenses correctly and see each member’s running balance, avoiding disputes over who paid what at the end of the month or trip.
Record Expenses with Ease and Precision: Enter every payment made for shared items or the entire bill using intuitive input fields. SupportPay: Split Expenses allows you to specify who paid, the total amount, and the participants sharing the cost, ensuring accurate calculations right away and eliminating manual tracking spreadsheets.
Multiple Splitting Methods: Choose how costs are divided, whether equally among all group members, based on custom shares, percentages, or individual contributions like mileage reimbursement. This flexibility ensures fair division according to your specific situation, accommodating everything from dinner costs to complex project expenses.
Manage Settlements and View Balances: Initiate repayments easily between individuals, or let the app calculate who should pay whom. You can settle debts manually or schedule automated payments, and view a clear overview of current balances, highlighting potential large payments before they become burdensome.
Comprehensive Expense Reports: Generate summary reports that detail all transactions, outstanding debts, and payment history. These reports are invaluable for settling up at the end of a project or trip, or for reviewing long-term spending habits among the group. They provide clear, printable proof of all financial interactions.
Cloud Sync and Backup: Your data is securely stored in the cloud, automatically syncing across all devices and ensuring your expense history and balances are safe even if you lose or replace your phone. This feature guarantees data consistency and accessibility whenever needed.
