The best expense-splitter apps for roommates in 2026
Last updated by The EvenRound team.
Rent, utilities, the cleaner, that one Costco run. Roommate expenses run forever. Pick the right app early.
Roommate splitting is the highest-stakes expense-splitting use case because it's recurring and goes on for years. Get it wrong and resentment builds; get it right and rent day is a 30-second event. The best app handles recurring expenses cleanly, supports unequal splits (different bedrooms, different incomes), and doesn't require everyone to install something.
At a glance
| # | App | Best for | Weakness | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EvenRound | Long-running shared apartments with recurring bills | Newer brand; less proven over multi-year leases yet | 9.0/10 |
| 2 | Splitwise | Roommate groups already using it; iOS-loving households | Signup required for every housemate | 8.5/10 |
| 3 | Tricount | Short-term shared-house arrangements (3-6 months) | No recurring; manual re-entry every month | 7.0/10 |
| 4 | Splid | Single-currency roommate setups in Germany or German-speaking regions | No recurring; missing AI features | 7.0/10 |
| 5 | Splitser (Netherlands) | Dutch-language households | Limited outside Netherlands; missing modern features | 6.5/10 |
| 6 | WhatsApp + spreadsheet | Casual short-term roommate setups where nobody wants an app | Drift; one person becomes the spreadsheet caretaker | 4.0/10 |
Detailed verdicts
For roommates: EvenRound if you want recurring + no-signup. Splitwise if you don't mind the signup wall. Splid for German-speaking regions. Avoid spreadsheet drift if the lease is more than 6 months.
