Alternatives / Splitwise
Spliit and SplitPro directly handle group bills, balances, reimbursements, and settlements. Monetr is an adjacent option for personal budgeting, not a direct shared-expense replacement.

Splitwise-style applications answer who paid, who owes whom, how to split a bill, whether a reimbursement was recorded, and each group member's balance. Spliit and SplitPro solve that directly. Budgeting apps answer how much you can spend, which bills are due, how much to save, and where money goes. Monetr fits this second category.
Spliit keeps the shared-expense workflow simple: create a group, add participants and expenses, choose who paid and who participated, split unevenly, check balances, and record reimbursements. This works well for trips, households, and casual groups. Its original repository has had substantially less activity than SplitPro since late 2025, according to the supplied project information.
SplitPro offers more options for groups with complex expenses. It supports equal, percentage, share-based, and exact-amount splits, plus adjustments, refunds, receipts, multiple currencies, recurring transactions, settlements, push notifications, and detailed balance history. It can be self-hosted, with database and infrastructure setup required.
Expense records can reveal names, travel locations, restaurants, rent, household purchases, receipts, amounts owed, and reimbursement history. Spliit and SplitPro can be deployed on infrastructure you control. You then manage server maintenance, database security, HTTPS, backups, updates, and availability.
Multiple currencies are especially useful for travel groups that record costs in local currencies and settle in a shared base currency. SplitPro emphasizes multi-currency handling and documents its conversion approach. Both Spliit and SplitPro support receipt attachments; SplitPro can store attachments locally when self-hosted, while Spliit also offers receipt scanning support that may use external AI services.
Spliit and SplitPro use MIT and are direct shared-expense tools. The supplied project information says Spliit's original repository slowed considerably after late 2025, while SplitPro remains actively developed. Monetr is self-hostable but uses FSL-1.1-MIT, a Fair Source license rather than an OSI-approved open-source license.
People look for Splitwise alternatives to self-host financial data, avoid premium restrictions, keep receipts on infrastructure they control, and use open-source software. A useful group expense app should support shared bills, payer and participant selection, fair splits, balances, reimbursements, settlements, and expense history.

Want the simplest open-source Splitwise replacement
Spliit focuses on groups, expenses, uneven splits, balances, reimbursements, categories, and receipts, with a simple sharing workflow.
Want a feature-rich self-hosted expense splitter
SplitPro supports several split methods, settlements, refunds, multiple currencies, receipts, recurring transactions, push notifications, and detailed history.
Want stronger current development momentum
The supplied project information reports more recent activity for SplitPro; Spliit's original repository slowed significantly after late 2025.
Want personal budgeting rather than shared bills
Monetr focuses on recurring bills, spending categories, savings goals, and forecasting. Its FSL-1.1-MIT license is Fair Source, not standard open source.
Want a permissive open-source license
Spliit and SplitPro both use MIT; Monetr uses a Fair Source license.
Want a direct Splitwise alternative
Spliit and SplitPro are built for shared expense settlement. Monetr belongs to personal finance and budgeting.
