Best App to Split Travel Costs with Friends (2026) | Partly
Split trip expenses with friends: flights, Airbnb, dinners, tolls. Multi-currency, AI receipt scan and SEPA/PayPal settle — Partly travel playbook 2026.
Group trips create dozens of shared costs in days. Without a dedicated space, the post-trip WhatsApp archaeology begins — and friendships pay the price.
What a travel expense app must do
One persistent trip group, multi-currency with live rates, AI receipt scan abroad, and payment requests before everyone scatters (SEPA, PayPal, Revolut, Bizum, MobilePay…).
Day-by-day workflow
1) Create the Partly space when you book. 2) Add big prepaid costs (Airbnb, flights). 3) Scan every dinner receipt the same night. 4) On the last day, send payment links. 5) Export history if someone needs a company report.
Partly vs Splitwise / Tricount on trips
Splitwise itemized scan needs Pro (~$49.99/year). Tricount is free but no OCR. Partly keeps AI scan on free (5/month) and settles in-app with European methods — strong for ES/DE/FR/DK trips.
