If the only thing you share is the bill, stay with Splitwise
Splitwise has spent over a decade doing one thing and doing it well. This page isn't about convincing you otherwise — it's about telling you when switching makes sense and when it doesn't.
Stick with Splitwise if…
If what you share is a bill and not a home —a trip, a dinner, a group of friends who meet now and then— Splitwise does exactly that and nothing you don't need.
Move to homeify if…
If you live together, money is only one of six things to coordinate, and having them in six different apps is the underlying problem.
Where Splitwise is better
- It has spent years polishing expense splitting and it shows: fast, clear and it doesn't get in the way.
- Plenty of people already know it, so there's nobody to talk into installing anything.
- It works as well for a trip with friends as for a flat, because it doesn't assume you live together.

Questions
- Can I import my expenses from Splitwise?
- There's no automatic import yet. If you're switching, the practical thing is to settle what's outstanding there and start clean here — which is also the natural moment: the end of the month.
- Is homeify free like Splitwise?
- There's a free plan with no card that includes shared expenses in full. The paid plans raise limits on other things.
Try it without dropping what you use
Setting up a home is free and takes a minute. If a month later you're still going back to Splitwise, you'll have found that out with real data rather than a table.
