Splitwise Alternative

A Better Way to Split Trip Expenses

Love the idea of Splitwise but hate the manual entry? Poolside lets you snap receipts via WhatsApp. No app download. No typing in amounts.

Why Travelers Are Switching from Splitwise

Splitwise is great for roommates. But for group trips? There's a better way.

"Everyone download the app!"

Getting 8 people to install Splitwise while abroad? Good luck. Poolside works via WhatsApp, which everyone already has.

"I'll add it later..."

Manual entry ruins vacations. With Poolside, just snap a photo. AI extracts the merchant, amount, and currency.

"Wait, are we a couple?"

Splitwise doesn't get couples. Poolside lets partners group together with a single command.
