A Tricount alternative with AI receipt scanning
Tricount is a popular way to split holiday costs β but it is still a separate app the whole group has to open. DivvyUp does the splitting from inside WhatsApp and reads your receipts for you.
DivvyUp keeps what people like about Tricount β clear balances and easy settle-up β and drops the friction. Instead of everyone opening a dedicated app, you text a bot in your group chat. Snap a receipt and AI fills in the merchant, total, and currency automatically.
Runs in WhatsApp
No account to create and no app for the group to download. DivvyUp is a contact you message, so logging an expense is just sending a text.
Photos become expenses
Send a picture of the bill and GPT-4o reads the merchant, total, and currency. No typing amounts in by hand line by line.
Multi-currency, automatic
Log a taxi in baht and dinner in euros β DivvyUp converts each to your pool's base currency so the running total always makes sense.
Made for couples too
Travelling as a couple? "group with Alex" links your accounts so you settle as one unit instead of splitting hairs between the two of you.
Weighted fair shares
Give each member a share weight β 1.5 for someone with a kid, for example β so the split reflects who the spending actually covers.
Live dashboard link
Type "balance" for a shareable, always-current dashboard of totals, categories, and who owes whom across the whole trip.

Common questions
Is DivvyUp really run from WhatsApp?οΌ
Yes. You add DivvyUp as a contact and send expenses as messages or receipt photos. There is no separate app to open β everything happens in the chat.
Can we split unevenly like in Tricount?οΌ
Yes. Each member has a share weight, so you can make one person's share larger or smaller. Grouping also lets couples settle together as one.
What about receipts in another language?οΌ
The AI reads receipts in many languages and extracts the merchant, total, and currency, so foreign receipts on a trip are no problem.
Do we need to migrate our old Tricount?οΌ
No β you just create a new DivvyUp pool for your next trip. It is fast, and there is no import step to worry about.
