Sound Familiar?

Every Group Trip Ever

The trip was perfect. The sunset was magical. The memories are priceless. But now you're home, and no one remembers who paid for what.

?

Priya

booked the Airbnb, but forgot to note the exact amount

?

Rahul

paid for groceries, three different times

?

Someone

covered the petrol, but can't remember who

?

The restaurant bill

got split weirdly, because two people didn't drink

Result? A 47-message WhatsApp thread, a shared Google Sheet that no one updates, and at least one friendship that's a little awkward now.

The Ultimate App for Sharing Expenses with Friends

The Zedger travel expense splitter is designed specifically for group travel. It captures every coffee, taxi, and temple entry ticket — then calculates exactly who owes whom at the end.

Every expense, big or small

Auto Calculate

Instant split calculations

Fair for All

Adventure First, Math Later

Four simple steps to expense-tracking bliss. Set it up once, and the Trip Book does the heavy lifting.

1

Create Your Trip Book

Give it a catchy name ("Goa 2024" or "The Great Ladakh Disaster"), set your base currency, and you're ready to roll.

2

Invite Your Travel Squad

Share a simple invite link. Even friends who don't have the app can join and see expenses in real-time.

3

Log Expenses As You Go

Just paid for dinner? Log it in seconds. Snap a photo of the receipt if you want. The app handles the math instantly.

4

Settle Up When Ready

At the end of the trip, see exactly who owes whom. One-tap settlement suggestions make squaring up a breeze.

One of the Best Apps for Bill Splitting

Not everyone eats the same, drinks the same, or does the same activities. This travel expense splitter lets you split expenses fairly with flexible options.

Split Equally

The classic: everyone pays the same. Perfect for shared meals, accommodation, and group activities.

Dinner was ₹3,000 ÷ 6 friends = ₹500 each

Split by Percentage

When some people should pay more (or less). Great for couples sharing a room or when someone brings a plus-one.

Hotel: 3 couples pay 25% each, 2 singles pay 12.5% each

Unequal Split

Custom amounts for everyone. Use when someone had extra drinks, skipped an activity, or has budget constraints.

Activity: Some paid ₹2,000 (participated), others paid ₹0 (skipped)

Exclude Members

Easily exclude people from specific expenses. Vegetarian didn't eat the seafood platter? No problem.

BBQ night: Non-veg eaters only, 4 people excluded

Getting the Gang Together

Adding your travel squad takes seconds, not minutes.

Share Invite Link

One tap to share. Friends click and join instantly.

From Contacts

Pick from your existing contacts who use Zedger.

Add Manually

Add non-app users by name. They're included in all calculations.

While You're Living Your Best Life

The trip is happening! Here's how Trip Book keeps up with your adventures.

Quick-Add Expense

Log an expense in under 5 seconds. Seriously, we timed it.

Photo Receipts

Snap the bill before it disappears into someone's pocket forever.

Real-time Sync

Everyone sees expenses the moment they're added. No refresh needed.

Running Balance

Always know where you stand. "You're currently owed ₹2,340" is a beautiful notification.

Multi-Currency

International trip? Add expenses in any currency, we'll convert automatically.

Push Notifications

Get notified when expenses are added. Stay in the loop without opening the app.

Every Trip Has a Story

From beach weekends to world tours, Trip Book adapts to your adventure.

The Goa Gang

Friends Beach Weekend

Six college friends, one beach house, countless memories. From the villa rental to the last coconut water, every expense tracked and split fairly. No more "who paid for what" arguments on the drive back.

The Family Vacation

Multi-generational Trip

When three generations travel together, expenses get complicated. Parents paying for activities, grandparents covering meals, kids chipping in for souvenirs. Trip Book keeps everyone on the same page.

The Couple's Europe Trip

Romantic Getaway

Even couples need to track! One person always seems to pay for more. With Trip Book, you both see exactly who's spending what — leading to either fairness or ammunition for future arguments (your choice).

The Office Team Outing

Corporate Retreat

Company paying for some things, team members splitting others. Keep personal expenses separate from reimbursable ones. Your finance team will thank you for the organized receipts.

The Grand Finale: Settlement

The trip's over, the photos are posted, and now it's time to settle up. Trip Book makes this painless.

1

View Final Balances

See exactly who owes what with crystal-clear breakdowns. No surprises, no disputes.

2

Smart Settlement Suggestions

We calculate the minimum number of transactions needed. If Rahul owes Priya ₹500 and Priya owes Amit ₹500, Rahul can just pay Amit directly.

Mark as Settled

Track who has paid whom. The app updates balances in real-time as settlements happen.

4

Built for Real Travelers

Every feature exists because travelers asked for it. No bloat, all value.

No signal in the mountains? No problem. Add expenses offline, they sync when you're back online.

Travel Expense Splitter - FAQ

Everything you need to know about using this app for sharing expenses with friends.

Is the Trip Book free to use?

Yes! Creating trip books and tracking expenses is completely free. We believe managing money with friends shouldn't cost money.

How many people can join a Trip Book?

There's no limit. Whether it's 3 friends or a 30-person group tour, everyone can join and participate.

Do all members need to have the app installed?

No! Members without the app can view expenses through a shared web link. They can see all expenses but need the app to add new ones.

How do I add someone who doesn't have a smartphone?

You can add them as a "non-app member". They won't receive notifications, but you can track their expenses and include them in settlements.

Can I use Trip Book for domestic trips only?

Absolutely! While we support multiple currencies for international trips, Trip Book works perfectly for local weekend getaways, road trips, or even a day outing.

How does multi-currency work?

Set your base currency when creating the trip. When adding expenses in other currencies, we convert them automatically using current exchange rates. Everyone sees amounts in the base currency.

What if someone paid in cash?

No problem! Just log who paid and the amount. The payment method doesn't matter for splitting — it's all about who covered what.

Can I edit or delete an expense after adding it?

Yes, you can edit or delete any expense you've added. Changes are synced to all members instantly, and we keep a history for transparency.

What if someone disputes an expense?

Expenses can be flagged for review. The person who added it can clarify or edit. Receipt photos help resolve disputes quickly.

How do I handle expenses where some people shouldn't pay?

When adding an expense, simply exclude those members. Vegetarians skipping the meat? Exclude them. Someone sleeping in while others went parasailing? Exclude them. Easy.

Can couples share a balance?

Yes! When adding members, you can link two people as a couple. Their expenses and balances are combined, so you track one balance instead of two.

What if someone leaves the trip early?

Their balance remains calculated until the point they left. You can settle with them separately while the trip continues for others.

How does the settlement suggestion work?

We use a smart algorithm to minimize the number of transactions. Instead of everyone paying everyone, we calculate the fewest payments needed to settle all balances.

Can I settle partially?

Yes! If Rahul owes you ₹1,000 but only pays ₹500 now, you can mark a partial settlement. The remaining ₹500 stays in the balance.

What payment methods can I use to settle?

Zedger doesn't process payments. You settle through UPI, bank transfer, cash, or carrier pigeons — whatever works. Just mark it as settled in the app.

How long is my Trip Book data stored?

Forever, unless you delete it. Your trip memories (and expenses) are always accessible. Great for "remember that trip?" conversations.

Can I export my trip data?

Yes! Export as PDF for a nice report, or as CSV/spreadsheet for detailed analysis. Perfect for expense reports or personal records.

Is my data secure?

We use end-to-end encryption and follow industry-standard security practices. Your expense data is private and secure.

Can I create multiple Trip Books simultaneously?

Of course! Planning a road trip while finishing up settlements from last month's vacation? Create as many books as you need.

What happens to the Trip Book after the trip ends?

It stays accessible for reference and settlements. You can archive it once everyone has settled up, or keep it active indefinitely.

Can I use Trip Book for business travel?

Yes! Many teams use it for client dinners, conference trips, and team outings. The export feature makes expense reporting simple.

Does it work without internet?

Yes! Add expenses offline and they'll sync automatically when you're back online. Perfect for remote destinations.

How is this different from other apps for bill splitting?

Zedger is a travel expense splitter built specifically for trips with features like multi-currency, trip timeline, receipt photos, and smart settlements. It's the best app for sharing expenses with friends on trips.

Can I suggest features or report bugs?

Absolutely! We love feedback. Reach out through the app or email us. Many features came from user suggestions.
