Questions
What is the best couples budget app for iPhone?
It depends on what you need. If you want to split household costs 50/50 or by income and have Apple Pay purchases log themselves, Couplesplit is built for that. For large groups or trips with friends, Splitwise or Tricount fit better.
Is Couplesplit free on iPhone?
No. 14 days free for the couple, then US$4.99 a month or US$39.99 a year, one subscription for both of you.
Do I need to connect my bank?
No. Couplesplit reads Apple Pay purchases and the notifications your bank already sends. It never asks for your passwords.
Does my partner need an iPhone?
Today, yes. Android is coming soon, and you will share one household, each on your own phone.
