FAQ
The questions people actually ask
Most askedIs Splitmama actually free?
Yes. Unlimited groups, unlimited members, unlimited expenses, no ads and no feature paywall. There is no card field at signup because there is nothing to charge you for.
Most askedDoes Splitmama hold or move my money?
No. Splitmama is a tracker, not a bank or money transmitter. When you settle up we open Venmo, PayPal or a UPI app with the amount and note already filled in — the transfer happens directly between you and your friend, and we never see it.
Most askedDo my friends need an account to be in a group?
No. Add someone as a name and they are in every split immediately. Send them an invite link whenever you are ready — when they claim it, the history they already have comes with them.
When do the AI features work?
Natural-language entry and receipt itemization are built but not switched on yet, so we label them rather than sell them. Everything else on this page works today. When they do land, the AI never writes to your ledger directly — you always see an editable draft first.
How does debt simplification work?
Instead of settling every individual IOU, Splitmama solves for the smallest set of transfers that clears the whole group — seven debts often collapse into two payments. You can always switch back to the raw who-owes-whom view.
Can I split things unevenly?
Equal, exact amounts, percentages, shares, or line-by-line itemized — with multiple payers on a single expense. Every amount is stored in integer minor units, so a three-way split of $10.00 comes out to $3.34 / $3.33 / $3.33 and never drifts by a cent.
Can I get my data out?
Any group exports to CSV in one click. No lock-in, no export paywall, no “upgrade to download your own data”.
How is my data protected?
Access is enforced by row-level security in Postgres, not just hidden in the interface — a row you are not a member of is not returnable to your session at all. Read the privacy policy for the full picture.
