Are you looking for a solution to split the costs, i.e. to share them with friends or relatives? Whether it’s for a birthday, your roommate’s fee, or a monthly subscription, this page allows you to find the list of the most convenient services for that.
Sharing the cost of a birthday gift
To share the cost of a birthday gift, or an event whose price is known in advance, the best solution is the online kitty sites. They allow to collect the participation of everyone by credit card, by means of a simple link to be sent to the participants.
To save time, we have made you a small list:
| Leetchi | The very first online kitty, it works very well and offers a reliable service | 4% fee to withdraw money. |
| The Common Pot | A simple and efficient service to organize a kitty | Also 4% fee. |
| Kitty.me | A simple and efficient kitty made by the company Lydia | Fee of 2.9%. |
Subscription split for shared account expenses
Do you share accounts with friends on video services like Netflix or for music like Deezer and Spotify? The best way to really get your money back is to use an automatic and easy system such as a kitty.
The Sharesub website offers the solution for this, it works exactly like a kitty but allows you tocollect payments from your family or friends every week, month or quarter, and receive them on your bank account. The site also allows you to transmit access or information in a secure and encrypted way through a chat dedicated to each subscription. To invite your friends, it’s as simple as a kitty with an invitation link. The 4.5% fee is paid by the participants, not by the subscription owner, and is the least expensive for this type of service.
Share travel or weekend expenses
To share the costs of a particular event, for which everyone will or has made expenses as they go along, the problem of anticipation arises. You don’t necessarily know how much you’re going to spend at the beginning of the weekend, and everyone may end up paying different amounts, making the split complicated.
A very good application for this is the Tricount application, which allows you to list everyone’s expenses, and will automatically calculate the amounts that are due. No more need to do your split by hand on paper, calculator or excel, the calculations are precise, reliable and well explained. The app for good accounts between friends.
This application is not paying but does not allow to make transactions, these last ones will have to be made separately, via a bank transfer or a third party application like Lydia, Pumkin, Revolut or other!
Small review
We hope that you have found the solution to organize your subscription split or expenses. Do not neglect that the good organization of these small expenses is important for the good agreement: the proverb “the good accounts make the good friends” is cliché, but full of truth!
