The free, open-source Tricount alternative
Splitbill covers the same group-expense splitting Tricount is built for — plus data export and the option to self-host, instead of trusting a bank-owned app with your data.

Where Tricount still wins
Tricount has a more polished mobile-first UI and, in some regions, direct bunq bank integration for settling up. If you specifically want bunq's banking features tied to your splitting app, Tricount covers that in a way Splitbill doesn't aim to.
FAQ
Is Tricount free, and how is Splitbill different?
Tricount is free to use after bunq discontinued its Premium tier in the 2024 app rebuild — but it also removed CSV/PDF export and stats in the process, and it's still closed-source, cloud-only software owned by a fintech company. Splitbill is free, open-source, and self-hostable, and still includes CSV/JSON export.
Can I export my expense data from Splitbill?
Yes — Splitbill supports CSV and JSON export per group. Tricount no longer offers export at all after removing it from the free rebuild.
Does Splitbill have spending statistics like Tricount used to?
Yes — Splitbill has a built-in analytics page showing your spending by category, by month, and by group. Tricount removed its equivalent stats feature in its 2024 rebuild and hasn't brought it back.
Why choose a self-hosted tool over Tricount?
Tricount is owned by bunq and runs entirely on their servers — you have no control over where your data lives. Splitbill can be deployed on your own infrastructure (SQLite or Postgres), so your groups' expense history stays under your control.
