What's free, and what dvup+ adds
Splitting bills, keeping balances and settling up cost nothing, and there is no cap on how much you log. One feature has a limit, and even that one never hard-stops.
The free plan
This is the whole product, not a trial of it. Everything below is free forever, on iOS and Android.
- Unlimited expenses. No daily cap on adding them, which is the thing Splitwise's free tier does limit.
- Running balances for ongoing groups: roommates, a partner, a trip where people take turns paying.
- Tabs. Scan a receipt, share one link, and your friends tap what they had and pay without installing anything or making an account.
- Per-item splits, including per-item tax, plus tips, fees and discounts.
- Multiple currencies, offline use, and debt simplification.
- Every payment rail. dvup never touches the money.
The one thing with a limit
AI receipt scanning. You get 5 free scans to start, and that is a lifetime allowance rather than a monthly one, so being precise about it matters.
After those five, scanning does not stop. Watching a short ad earns you another scan, and you can do that about once a day. So the free ceiling is a wait, not a wall, and you can still type an expense in by hand any time without touching a scan at all.
What dvup+ actually removes
dvup+ is $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year. It is worth being blunt about what it is: it removes two annoyances. Nothing is sitting behind it waiting to be paid for.
- Everything in the list above
- 5 AI scans to start, then one more per ad, about one a day
- Shows ads
- No ads
- AI scanning without the daily wait
- Everything on the free plan, unchanged
There are also shared annual plans, one covering two people and one covering up to six. The store shows the current price for your region.
Prices are US App Store, checked July 2026. Your store charges the local equivalent, and some regions run lower.
Against Splitwise Pro
Splitwise Pro is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, so dvup+ comes in under it. The price is the less interesting half of the comparison though. What matters more is where each product draws the free line: Splitwise puts receipt scanning, itemising, currency conversion and charts behind Pro, and its own helpdesk confirms a daily cap on adding expenses for free accounts.
The full comparison has the rows where dvup loses as well, including free CSV export and card import, which dvup does not do at all.
Questions
Is dvup free?
Splitting bills, tracking balances and settling up are free, with no cap on how much you log. AI receipt scanning has a limit, but you never have to pay to keep using it: you get 5 free scans to start, then watching a quick ad earns you another, roughly one a day. dvup+ removes the ads and the daily wait. The free tier shows ads either way.
What happens after my 5 free scans?
Scanning keeps working. Watching a short ad earns you another scan, and you can do that about once a day. It is a wait, not a paywall. dvup+ removes both the ads and the wait.
How much is dvup+?
dvup+ is $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year on the US App Store, checked July 2026. Your store charges the local equivalent and some regions run lower.
Is dvup+ cheaper than Splitwise Pro?
Yes. Splitwise Pro is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year; dvup+ is $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year. The bigger difference is what sits behind each paywall: Splitwise puts receipt scanning, itemising, currency conversion and charts behind Pro, and caps how many expenses a free account can add per day.
Do my friends have to pay anything?
No, and they don't have to install anything either. A shared tab link opens in a browser, so a guest taps what they had and pays their share without an account. Only the person who fronted the bill needs dvup.
Is there a free trial?
The paid plans carry a 7-day free trial, which the store shows before you confirm. You can also just use the free plan indefinitely, since nothing about splitting, balances or settling up is gated.
