Whether it&#8217;s for a <strong>birthday, your roommate&#8217;s fee, or a monthly subscription<\/strong>, this page allows you to find the list of the most convenient services for that.<\/p>\n\n<!--more-->\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharing the cost of a birthday gift<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To share the <strong>cost of a birthday gift<\/strong>, or of an event whose price is <strong>known<\/strong> in advance, the best solution is an online <strong>kitty<\/strong>: everyone pays their share by card or from their phone, using a simple link or payment request sent to the participants.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To save time, we have made you a small list:<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>GoFundMe<\/td><td>Set up a collection page in minutes and share the link: everyone chips in by card<\/td><td>No platform fee, but a transaction fee is deducted from each contribution.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PayPal<\/td><td>Send a payment request to each participant, who pays from their PayPal account<\/td><td>Free between friends and family in the UK when paid from a PayPal balance or bank account.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Monzo<\/td><td>Split the bill in the app or send payment requests, even to friends who bank elsewhere<\/td><td>Free for personal accounts.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subscription split for shared account expenses<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 easy, automatic system, such as a kitty.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sharesub site offers the ideal solution. It works exactly like a kitty, but allows you to collect payments from your family or friends every week, month or quarter, and receive them directly into your bank account. What&#8217;s more, the site ensures secure, encrypted transmission of access or information via a chat dedicated to each subscription. Inviting your friends is as easy as creating a kitty. The 4.5% fee is borne by the participants, not the subscription owner, making it one of the lowest-cost services for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharesub.com\/en\">\n  <em>subscription sharing<\/em>\n<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Share travel or weekend expenses<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To share the costs of a particular event, for which everyone will or has <strong>made expenses<\/strong> as they go along, the problem of anticipation arises. You don&#8217;t necessarily know how much you&#8217;re going to spend at the beginning of the weekend, and everyone may end up paying different amounts, making the split complicated.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very good application for this is Tricount, which lets you <strong>list everyone&#8217;s expenses, and will automatically calculate the sums due<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This app <strong>is free but does not let you make the payments themselves<\/strong>: these have to be made separately, by bank transfer or with an app such as PayPal, Monzo, Revolut or similar!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Small review<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 <strong>important for the good agreement<\/strong>: the proverb &#8220;the good accounts make the good friends&#8221; is clich\u00e9, but full of truth!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for a solution to split the costs, i.e. to share them with friends or relatives?
