Our recommendation
For most groups, CountClub covers the essentials for free and goes further than Tricount and Splitwise's free plan — no ads, no limits. If you already have Tricount for a one-off, it stays handy; if you rely on item-level OCR, Splitwise Pro makes sense. Best move: try CountClub on your next count, it's free.
