Why people pick mateshare over Tricount
Custom splits are here today
When Tricount retired its Premium plan, custom splits went with it, and Tricount says they'll come back in a future update. mateshare lets you split evenly or set exactly what each person owes, right now.
Made for Australia, not a European bank
Tricount is owned by bunq and built around its card and accounts. mateshare is in dollars and, on your phone, jumps straight into CommBank, NAB, Westpac, ANZ, ING, St.George and more to settle up.
One number to pay
What you owe and what you're owed is netted across every tab. If you owe Sam $20 for rent and Sam owes you $5 for dinner, you pay Sam $15.

Is mateshare right for you?

Questions
Is mateshare really free?
Yes. There are no paid plans and no limits on how many tabs, mates or expenses you add.
What happened to Tricount Premium?
Tricount retired its Premium plan and made the app free. Some Premium features, including custom splits and CSV or PDF export, were removed, with custom splits planned to return. Check tricount.com for the latest.
Can I split rent unevenly in mateshare?
Yes. Set exactly what each person owes, for example more for the big room, or split evenly. Splits are worked in cents and always add back up to the exact total.
Can I move my tricount to mateshare?
There's no automatic import yet. The easiest way is to settle up in Tricount, then start a fresh tab in mateshare and invite your mates with a link.
Does mateshare move money?
No. mateshare keeps track of who owes what. You pay through your own bank (on your phone there are shortcuts to the big Aussie bank apps), then mark it as paid.
When is Tricount the better choice?
If you're splitting in several currencies overseas, already bank with bunq, or want a native app from the App Store or Google Play, Tricount covers those and mateshare doesn't yet.
Split rent the Aussie way
Start a tab, invite your housemates, and settle up straight from your bank app. Free, for good.
