Best Tricount Alternatives 2026: 5 Apps Compared

Tricount has been one of Europe's most popular apps for splitting travel costs and group expenses for years. But with version 8.0, the app changed noticeably under its owner, a neobank: the Premium subscription was discontinued, and several features were not made free but removed entirely. If you want to export your expenses as CSV or PDF, look at statistics, or save a custom split for your group today, you are out of luck.

No surprise that many long-time users are looking for a Tricount alternative. In this comparison, we look at the five best candidates, honestly say which app fits which use case, and show how to switch even though Tricount no longer offers an export.

What happened to Tricount?

Tricount originally comes from Belgium and has belonged to a Dutch neobank since 2022. With app version 8.0, the former Premium subscription was discontinued. That sounds like good news at first, the app is now completely free. But a look at the official Tricount help center shows the flip side: several former Premium features were not unlocked, they were removed.

Gone are, according to the help center's current list (updated October 2026): exporting as CSV and PDF, the personal mode for private entries, statistics, and saving custom splits. For statistics and saved splits, Tricount says a return is planned "for a future update", without a date. Splitting a single expense unevenly still works.

New instead: the parent bank's payment card is built into the app. Tricount itself shows no ads, but it has become less a standalone product and more an entry channel into the parent bank's ecosystem. The fact that a bank holds the spending data of what Tricount says are over 17 million users is at least worth discussing for privacy-conscious users. During the version 8.0 migration, users also reported seemingly missing tricounts that only reappeared after logging in again.

If you only use Tricount as a simple travel splitter, you can happily stay: the core function, splitting expenses and calculating balances, remains free and unlimited. But if you need export, statistics, saved custom splits, or actual budget features, the alternatives below do better.

The 5 best Tricount alternatives at a glance

All five candidates handle the core job of splitting group expenses. The differences lie in the features Tricount lost (export, statistics) or never had (budgets), plus custom splits, ads, and privacy:

GoodShare: expense splitting plus a shared budget book

GoodShare covers exactly the gap Tricount opened with version 8.0, and goes one step further: the app combines expense splitting with a full shared budget book. All members of a book add expenses and income, the app syncs in real time via its own EU servers, automatically calculates who owes whom how much, and additionally shows where the money actually goes: with categories, monthly budgets, statistics, and a Sankey diagram for your cash flow.

For Tricount switchers, three things matter most: custom splits (who pays which share) can be saved for the whole book, including splits by income, settlements can be exported as PDF and CSV, and the AI receipt scanner reads entire receipts instead of just recognizing the total. Splits and exports are part of the Pro plan at $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year ($2.49 per month for the first three months as a new subscriber), free to try for 14 days; the free plan includes 3 AI receipt scans per month. A nice touch: if the book owner has Pro, every member of the shared book gets it too. The basics, unlimited entries, real-time sync, and automatic settlement, are free and completely ad-free. Data is stored GDPR-compliant on EU servers in Frankfurt, with no bank connection at all.

The honest limitation: GoodShare is currently Android-only; the iPhone version is in testing (waitlist). Until it is in the App Store, mixed iPhone and Android groups are better served by Settle Up or Splid. For Android households with an ongoing shared budget, GoodShare is the most complete Tricount alternative on this list. For a detailed head-to-head, see GoodShare vs Tricount.

Splid: minimalist, offline, no account

Splid from Germany is the most obvious choice for everyone who liked Tricount mainly for its simplicity. The app needs neither registration nor an internet connection, and groups can live purely locally on your device if you want. Splid handles custom splits and PDF export for free; unlimited groups and Excel export come with a fair one-time purchase, no subscription at all.

Splid is free for one group and completely ad-free. Its limits show as soon as you want more than splitting: there are no budgets, no categories, no statistics, and no receipt scanner. Ideal for settling a ski weekend, too little for a permanent household budget.

Settle Up: the multi-platform all-rounder

Settle Up from the Czech Republic runs on Android, iOS, and in the browser, making it the most flexible choice for mixed-device groups that valued Tricount's cross-platform reach. The free version splits expenses without limits but shows ads. Features like receipt photos, categories, recurring expenses, and Excel export are part of the Premium subscription (current prices in our Splitwise alternatives comparison).

That makes Settle Up functionally what Tricount was before version 8.0 with Premium: solid core features for free, extras cost money. It does not replace a full budget book with monthly budgets.

Splitwise: the US classic with a daily limit

Splitwise is the best-known name in the splitting segment internationally and the default in the US, UK, and India. Functionally, it offers much of what Tricount lacks: CSV export, recurring expenses, and, in the Pro plan, charts and a receipt scanner (which only recognizes totals, though).

The big catch: the free version has a daily entry limit (Splitwise does not publish the exact number) and shows ads. Anyone running an active group wallet almost inevitably ends up on the Splitwise Pro subscription. As a Tricount replacement for casual users, the daily limit is a real step backwards, because that is exactly the kind of limit Tricount never had. More on this in our Splitwise alternatives comparison.

Splital: the newcomer with automatic categorization

Splital from Italy is the youngest app in this comparison. Like Tricount it needs no account, splits without a daily limit, and shows no ads. Two things it does that Tricount does not: expenses are categorized automatically as you type the description, and there is a CSV import for Splitwise groups. Custom splits (equal, percentage, exact amounts) are included for free.

The catch is the same as with Tricount: it stays a splitter. Splital has no budgets, no savings goals, and no carry-over, and the statistics sit entirely behind the Pro subscription. PDF and CSV export are Pro as well. There is no receipt scanner and no web app, which the makers state themselves in their own comparison. If all you want is a free splitter with flexible splits and automatic categories, this is a replacement. If you want a travel kitty with a budget attached, it is not.

Which alternative fits whom?

The short decision guide, honestly sorted by use case:

Couples, roommates, and families with an ongoing shared budget (Android): GoodShare. Expense splitting and budget book in one app, with saved custom splits and splits by income, PDF export, and a receipt scanner, without ads, with EU privacy. See our guides on tracking roommate expenses and the family budget for how that looks in practice.

One-off occasions (birthday, ski weekend): Splid. Ready in 30 seconds, no account, free for one group, with custom splits, free PDF export and Excel export as a one-time purchase.

Group trips with mixed devices: Settle Up, usable from a laptop thanks to its web app. If you would rather run the travel fund with a budget right away, the guide on splitting travel costs has the step-by-step with GoodShare.

If you want to stay with Tricount: that is legitimate too. For simple travel splitting without export needs, Tricount remains free and unlimited. Just know that your spending data sits with a bank and that the removed features are gone for now.

How to switch away from Tricount

The move is easier than many think, because splitting apps do not have a data import problem: you do not need to migrate old settlements, only the open balances. Since Tricount no longer offers CSV or PDF export as of version 8.0, this is the way:

1. Settle open balances. Settle all open amounts in Tricount, or note the remaining balances and add them as an opening entry in the new app.

2. Save the final state. Without an export function, the screenshot remains: capture the overview and balances screens and archive them, so the history is at least documented.

3. Create a new shared book and invite members. In GoodShare, for example, create a shared book, share the invite link via WhatsApp, done. From the first entry, the new app calculates the settlement automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tricount completely free now?

Yes. With version 8.0, Tricount discontinued its Premium subscription under its new owner, and the app is now completely free and works without an account. The catch: several former Premium features were removed rather than unlocked: CSV and PDF export, personal mode, statistics, and saving custom splits. Tricount shows no ads, but the app integrates the parent bank's payment card.

Which features did Tricount lose?

According to the official Tricount help center (updated October 2026), these former Premium features are no longer available since version 8.0: exporting as CSV and PDF, personal mode, statistics, and saving custom splits. For statistics and saved custom splits, Tricount says a return is planned for a future update, without a concrete date. Splitting a single expense unevenly still works.

What is the best Tricount alternative with export and custom splits?

For Android households with an ongoing shared budget, GoodShare is the most complete choice: saved custom splits and splits by income, PDF export, CSV export of the full history and unlimited AI receipt scans are all available (in Pro, free to try for 14 days; the free plan has CSV for 30 days and 3 scans per month), plus budget tracking and EU data storage without ads. For one-off occasions without an account, Splid is strong, with free custom splits, free PDF export and Excel export as a fair one-time purchase. Settle Up is the most flexible choice for mixed iPhone and Android groups.

How do I move my Tricount data to another app?

None of the alternatives offer a direct import, and Tricount removed its CSV export with version 8.0. The cleanest way: settle all open balances in Tricount, save the final state as a screenshot, and start fresh in the new app. Right after a full settlement, the switch takes only a few minutes.
