The TripTally Story

How a weekend trip changed the way groups split expenses

It Started with a Simple Problem

Picture this: You're on a weekend trip with friends. Before you can track a single expense, you're forced to download an app, create an account, verify your email, wait for everyone to join, accept friend requests, create a group, choose expense categories, and navigate through endless menus. All this friction just to record who paid for gas, groceries, and dinner. By the time everyone's set up, you're logging back in for the 10th time and still waiting 5 seconds for ads to load.

Sound familiar? That's exactly why TripTally was created - to eliminate the hassle of expense tracking and make settling up as simple as it should be.

Existing bill splitting apps required everyone to download apps, create accounts, link bank accounts, or navigate complex interfaces. We built something simpler - something anyone can use without needing a tutorial.

TripTally was born from one core principle: make bill splitting so simple that it feels like magic. No signups, no apps to download, no friend requests to send. Just instant expense tracking and fair splitting.
