Partly

I built Partly to make splitting receipts and shared expenses simpler for flatshares, trips, couples and dinners out. I wanted the receipt to do the tedious work while people stay in control of the final split.

Letting each person claim the items they had after the AI scans the receipt is the part most splitting apps get awkward. Offline mode and recurring bills like rent make it practical for flatshares, and I'd be curious whether scanned item names can be edited before splitting.

The receipt scan plus claim-your-items flow is a nice touch for flatshares. Do the 5 free scans a month reset per user or per group?

Scanning a restaurant receipt is the easy part. Tax, tip and service charge are where splits go wrong. Can those be shared proportionally to what each person claimed, rather than evenly? And if the AI misreads one line item, can you fix the amount and have the totals and balances recalculate?

Amazing, good work. Congratulation.

Claiming individual items after the AI scan is the feature that makes this work for real restaurant bills, where equal splits are often unfair. The automatic balance simplification is also useful for trips. How does it apportion tax and tip when items are claimed individually rather than split equally?

Leaving payments out of the app is a smart call. People already have a way to pay each other back. Does the receipt scan handle one item shared by a few people, like a pizza split three ways, or is that a manual step after the scan?

Splitting a receipt by item is the part most bill-splitting apps get wrong. How does Partly handle tax and tip being shared proportionally across people?

When a receipt is scanned in a different currency than the group's, does Partly convert at the scan date's rate or let each person set it? Also curious how it handles items shared by only some of the people.

Recurring bills are the part I would test hardest. A shared flat usually has two or three subscriptions on one person's card (internet, streaming, a shared AI tool), and the fair split is not the receipt amount, it is each person's share of a plan that changes tiers mid-cycle. Does a recurring bill keep the split ratio from the first entry, or recompute when the plan changes? The second thing I would want: a nudge when someone leaves the group but the recurring charge still includes them.
