A Splid alternative
Splitting bills since 2012. In any browser, no app required.
Splid is a solid mobile expense splitter. Kittysplit does the same job, but it also runs in any browser. So the friend who doesn't want to install an app (or can't) can still join your group from a link.
Start a KittyFree for groups up to 9 people. Works in any browser. Sign-up optional.
- Since 2012 still here, still running on donations
- Works in any browser no app install required for anyone
- €3 per Kitty one-time upgrade, whole group benefits
Why people switch from Splid
Splid is a good app. But it lives on the phone, and sometimes that's not where your group is.
No web version, anywhere
Splid is iOS and Android only. There's no browser version. Nothing to open on a laptop, a work computer, or someone else's phone.
The whole group has to install
Splitting a bill with five friends means five App Store downloads. Anyone who doesn't want to install an app for one weekend's expenses is out.
Locked out by your device
Friend on a work-issued phone, an older Android, or with no spare storage? Until they sort that out, they can't join the group.
No exports, no receipt attachments
Splid keeps everything inside the app — no CSV export of your expenses, and no way to attach the actual receipt photo to a bill, not even on the paid tier. If you need to reconcile in a spreadsheet or keep proof of what someone paid, you're on your own.
What you get with Kittysplit instead
Same kind of app, with a real browser version and a fairer way to charge for extras.
Full app in any browser
Kittysplit's web version runs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge. Same features as the apps. Anyone with the link can use it from any device.
Send one link, group is in
Start a Kitty, send your friends the link. They tap, they add what they paid. No App Store, no sign-up, no waiting.
Any device, any phone
Old phone, work laptop, a friend's tablet, a borrowed Chromebook. All fine. The browser version does everything the apps do.
One upgrade, whole group
When your Kitty needs more (10+ people, multiple currencies, receipts), one person pays around €3 once. Everyone in the group gets the features.

Common questions
Does Kittysplit work without installing an app?
Yes. The full Kittysplit app runs in any modern browser. Anyone in your group can open the Kitty link in Safari, Chrome, Firefox or whatever they have and use the same features the mobile apps offer. The iOS and Android apps exist for people who prefer them, but nobody is forced to install anything.
Is Kittysplit really free?
Mostly yes. The basics (unlimited expenses, settlements, share-by-link, browser and mobile access, CSV export) are free since 2012. If your Kitty has 10 or more people, or needs multiple currencies or receipt uploads, there's a one-time Super Kitty Upgrade (around €3 per Kitty). One person pays once, and everyone in the group gets the features. There's no per-user subscription.
How is Kittysplit different from Splid?
Two main differences. First, Kittysplit has a full browser version. Anyone with a link can use it from any device, no install. Splid is iOS and Android only, so everyone in your group needs the app on their phone. Second, pricing model. When a Kitty needs paid features, Kittysplit charges around €3 once and the whole group gets them. Splid's free tier only allows one group, and each user pays a one-time fee in the app to unlock more. Splid also has things going for it that Kittysplit doesn't: free currency conversion across 150+ currencies, and true offline use on the device. If your group is happy in one app and doesn't need exports or receipt photos, Splid is genuinely fine.
Can I import my data from Splid?
Not directly. Most people don't need to, though. Since Kittysplit doesn't require accounts, your group can be on a new Kitty in about a minute. Settle your last Splid balance, start fresh here, you're done. If you have a long expense history you'd like to bring across, email us and we'll see what we can do.
How do you stay in business?
Two ways. First, the Super Kitty Upgrade: around €3 one-time per Kitty for groups that need more than 9 people, currency conversion, or receipts. Second, donations from people who like the app. Together they pay for a small, honest business that's been running since 2012.
Where is my data stored?
On servers in the EU. We're based in Berlin, run on EU privacy rules by default, and we don't sell your data. The privacy page has the details.
