Make It Even vs Tricount

Tricount is a popular pick for quick, casual group cost-sharing, often used for a single trip or event without much setup. Make It Even takes a more account-based approach: you sign in, and your groups, friends, and history persist and sync across devices over time.

That persistence unlocks features that suit ongoing sharing — group monthly budgets, recurring expenses, an activity feed, comments, and in-app plus email notifications and reminders. Make It Even also locks each expense to that day's exchange rate, so multi-currency trips stay accurate forever.

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

Why people switch to Make It Even

A persistent ledger, not just a one-off tally

Your groups, friends, and history live in your account and sync across devices, which suits ongoing sharing with roommates or a partner rather than a single trip.

Group budgets and recurring expenses

Set a monthly budget per group and automate repeating costs like rent or subscriptions — both included for free.

Locked historical exchange rates

Multi-currency is free and each expense keeps its own day's rate, so a trip you logged months ago never re-converts.

Richer collaboration

An activity feed, comments, notifications, and payment reminders keep everyone in a group on the same page.
