No transaction limits. No 10-second ads. No daily caps. Just expense splitting that works the way Splitwise used to.
Free users are now limited to 3 transactions per day. Each one starts with a 10-second unskippable video ad. On a group trip where you're logging 10+ expenses daily, that math stops working fast.
Splitwise Pro costs $3.99 to $5.99 per month. That adds up to $48-72 a year for something most people open a handful of times. If you travel twice a year, you're paying $24-36 per trip in subscription fees alone.
Search, receipt scanning, and other features that used to be free now require Pro. The free tier feels more like a demo than a usable product.

Splitwise's free tier went from generous to hostile. Users who tracked 20 expenses a day on a trip now hit a wall at 3. The subscription costs more per year than most people spend on the trips themselves.
SplitRite is completely free. No ads, no daily limits, no feature gates, no payment required. Everyone uses the full app at no cost.
