Paid Up vs Tricount: recurring expenses, spreadsheet export, open source

Tricount is a well liked app for splitting trip costs. Both apps work without an account, so the difference is in the details.

What Paid Up does

• Up to 2,000 expenses a day, and no ads.
• No account needed to start a group or join one.
• Recurring expenses, and a spreadsheet export for each group.
• Open source under the AGPL, so the code is public.
• Bring a Splitwise group over from its spreadsheet export.

What we checked about Tricount

• Tricount says it's free, has no ads and no daily expense cap, and that you can try it without signing up.
