Does everyone in my group need a Make It Even account?

Make It Even is account-based, which is what enables a persistent, synced ledger, group budgets, and notifications across devices.

Is Make It Even better for ongoing sharing than Splid?

If you share costs continuously — roommates, a partner, a recurring group — the persistent ledger, budgets, and recurring expenses are designed for exactly that.

Is multi-currency free?

Yes, across 14 currencies, and each expense locks that day's exchange rate so trip totals stay accurate over time.

Can I set a budget per group?

Yes. Group monthly budgets are included in the free tier.

AI receipt scanning, itemized splitting, spending charts, CSV export, and unlimited groups, after a 14-day trial.

Make It Even vs Splid

Splid is known for letting groups split expenses quickly, often without requiring everyone to create an account. Make It Even takes the account-based route: you sign in, and your groups, friends, balances, and history persist and sync across devices.

That difference matters if your sharing is ongoing rather than a single event. Make It Even adds group monthly budgets, recurring expenses, an activity feed, comments, notifications, and reminders — plus free multi-currency that locks each expense to its own day's exchange rate.

Below is a fair, point-by-point comparison. Splid is a trademark of its respective owner, and the details reflect our understanding at the time of writing.
