Tricount Alternatives After Premium Was Removed

Tricount is free now, and that is the problem. When bunq rebuilt the app it did not make Premium's features free — it removed them. If you are looking for an alternative, you are almost certainly looking for one of four specific things back: export, personal mode, saved custom splits, or an app that does not create a bank account when you sign up.

Work out which one it is first, because the right replacement is different for each.

What actually changed

Tricount's help centre is direct about it. Its article on the change says that "with the new app, tricount Premium has been deprecated" and that you now have the main features "without any additional or hidden costs". It then lists what was deprecated:

• Export a tricount in CSV and PDF
• Personal mode
• Statistics — "planned for future update"
• Save a custom split — "planned for future update"

Two of those four carry a promise of return. Export does not. Former Premium subscribers are offered a complimentary six-month bunq Pro subscription, which the same page values at €59.94, and are pointed at the normal App Store refund process or at support for Google Play.

The other change is quieter and matters more to some people than any feature. Tricount's help centre states that newly registered users "will also get a bunq account automatically upon signup". Tricount is a bunq product, the app's own features page advertises that payments on a bunq Free Credit Card are added to a tricount automatically, and the page describes the app as 100% free. If you are happy inside bunq, that integration is genuinely useful. If you opened an app to split a ski trip and came away with a bank account, it is a reason to leave.

The options, side by side

Splid, if you want export back and no sign-up

Splid is the closest thing to old Tricount that still exists. Its App Store listing says plainly that there is "no sign-up required", that it "works on and offline", that you can "choose from more than 150 currencies", and that there are "no ads on the free version". It also advertises downloading summaries as PDF or Excel files, which is the exact capability Tricount dropped.

The money model is the opposite of a subscription. On the US App Store, Splid lists two in-app purchases: Splid Plus at $3.99 and a "2 Groups" unlock at $2.99, with the Excel export among the paid extras. One payment, no renewal, no account.

Where it falls short: it is a group-splitting app and nothing more, and because a group can live entirely offline on one phone, the sync story is something you opt into rather than something that just happens.

Settle Up, if your splits are awkward

Settle Up is the one to pick when the splitting itself is the hard part. Its App Store listing describes splitting "whether it's an even split, unequal weights, or multiple people paying for one item", a settlement algorithm that "calculates the fewest possible transfers", syncing across platforms with "no internet? No problem", support for "all currencies with real-time exchange rates", invites by link or QR code, and CSV export.

It is free to download with in-app purchases, and the US App Store lists Premium at $3.99 a month or $19.99 a year. The more interesting option is Group Premium, a one-off $39.99 that covers a whole group rather than one person, with shorter group passes from $5.99 for a week and a lifetime group tier at $149.99. For a household that will use this for years, a single group purchase split between four people is a different kind of maths than four subscriptions.

Where it falls short: the per-person subscription is the default path, and the group tiers are priced for groups that already know they are staying.

Spliit, if you want no account and no company

Spliit is open source and puts its position on the front page: "No ads. No account. No limitation." It splits by percentage, shares, or exact amount, attaches receipt images, supports recurring expenses, and has AI receipt scanning marked beta. Because the code is public, a group that cares can host it themselves rather than trusting anyone's server.

Where it falls short: it is community-built and community-supported, so the roadmap and the response time are whatever volunteers can give. For a flat share that will run for three years, that is a real consideration rather than a footnote.

Kittysplit, if the group is temporary

Kittysplit is built for one-off groups. A free Kitty covers up to nine people with unlimited expenses, equal, share, and fixed-amount splits, settlement optimisation, and no sign-up. Its pricing page lists a Super Kitty at €3.00 once per group — not per person — which raises the limit to 100 people and adds currency conversion, preset splits, receipt attachments, category insights, and a read-only link. The cost "gets split like everything else", so the group pays for the upgrade together.

Where it falls short: nothing here is meant to be an ongoing ledger between the same people forever. It is a wedding, a stag do, a ski week.

Splitwise, if the other people are already there

Splitwise is the obvious name, and it is worth being honest about what its free tier is now. Its knowledge base states that "free users can add up to 4 expenses each day", with Pro adding unlimited expenses, transaction import in select countries, search, currency conversion, receipt scanning with itemisation, spending charts, and customisable default splits. Splitwise does not publish the Pro price on that page — it lists Individual, Duo, and Monthly options and shows the cost at checkout — so check it in the app rather than trusting a number from a comparison article, this one included.

Coming from Tricount, you would be swapping a free app with no expense cap for a free app with a four-a-day cap, in exchange for a much larger install base. There is a fuller write-up in Splitwise alternatives if that is the trade you are weighing.

Expensorr, if losing personal mode is what hurt

Personal mode was the part of Tricount that was not about the group. It is also the part that no other app on this page replaces, because every one of them is a group-splitting tool.

Expensorr comes at it from the other side: it is a personal expense tracker that happens to split. An expense you paid for is one entry that becomes a transaction in your own records, a balance owed to you, and a line in your monthly category totals at the same time. Splits work evenly, by shares, or by exact amounts, with net balances and settlement tracking. Around that sit wallets for cash and card balances, budgets by category, labels for a client or a trip, recurring transactions, and 75 currencies with exchange-rate conversion. A split can start from a scanned receipt, so a shared expense keeps its proof rather than an amount somebody typed from memory.

The situations where that matters most have their own write-ups: splitting with people you live with, a trip where nothing is in your home currency, and the multi-currency guide for how conversion actually behaves on a trip.

On cost: every Expensorr feature is free, including unlimited wallets, budgets, labels, splits, and 75 currencies. The free plan includes 20 AI receipt scans or voice captures a month; the paid tier lifts that limit and changes nothing else. There is no daily cap on adding expenses.

When you should stay on Tricount

• The other people are already in it. A shared ledger only works if everyone opens the same one. Moving four people to a new app to solve a problem only you have is a bad trade, and Tricount still splits, converts currencies, attaches receipt photos, and works offline.
• You never exported anything. For a lot of groups the deprecated features were never used. If you settle up and move on, free-with-no-caps is a good deal.
• You are a bunq customer. Payments on the bunq Free Credit Card being added to a tricount automatically is real automation that none of the alternatives here offer.
• You are waiting on the roadmap. Statistics and saved custom splits are listed as planned. If those are your two complaints, waiting costs nothing.

What none of these do

Worth saying plainly, because it is the most common wrong assumption in this category: Expensorr does not connect to your bank. Transactions are added by scanning a receipt, speaking, importing a spreadsheet, or typing them in. None of the splitting apps here has a bank feed either, with the partial exception of Tricount's own bunq card integration. If automatic bank feeds are the requirement, this whole category is the wrong shelf.

Expensorr also has no team accounts, employee roles, or approval workflows. It is built for one person, which is exactly why it suits shared personal costs and not company expense reports.

Moving a group out

1. Settle up first. Zero balances make the move a non-event. Carrying half-remembered debts into a new app is how the new app gets abandoned too.
2. Screenshot what you cannot export. Since CSV and PDF export is gone, the record of who paid what is whatever you can capture from the screen before you leave.
3. Start the new ledger from today's balances. Rebuilding a year of history is rarely worth it. What matters is who owes what now.
4. Import into a tracker if that is where you are going. Expensorr reads CSV, XLSX, and XLS, so a spreadsheet you rebuilt by hand becomes real transactions rather than a file in your downloads folder.

If you are rethinking the method rather than the app, the guide to splitting expenses with friends applies whichever of these you choose.

The decision, in one line

If export was the feature you lost, go to Splid or Settle Up. If signing up creating a bunq account is the part you object to, go to Spliit or Kittysplit. If the group is already in Tricount and you never used Premium, stay. If what you actually miss is personal mode — your own spending living next to the shared stuff — that is a tracker with splitting inside it, not another splitting app.
