Everything you need to share costs, nothing you don't

CostBuddy does the maths, remembers who paid what and tells you the next step. You keep the overview, on your phone and on your PC.

The bill is in before dessert

Type the amount, pick who paid and tick who was there. CostBuddy shows each share straight away.

  • Only who joined in pays: no more paying for drinks you never had
  • Categories like food, transport or accommodation keep things tidy
Group with each member's balance and the latest expenses

Paying a friend with a SEPA QR code
Settle up

Pay back with one scan

CostBuddy suggests the fewest payments to get everyone square. Open your banking app, scan the SEPA QR code and the IBAN, amount and reference are already filled in.

  • Pay your way: bank transfer, Payconiq or cash, then record it
  • Paying less or more is fine: CostBuddy shows what stays open
  • Your IBAN stays private: only your group members see it when they pay you
Recorded payments with filters for person and period

No more “did you pay me back?”

Every payment is recorded with who paid whom, when and who registered it. Filter by person or period and find the answer in seconds.
