iPhone & iPad · Group trips

One group, one clear tab.

The villa, the group dinners, the taxi that took seven people on one person's card. PocketTrip keeps every shared cost on a single running tab, so by the end of the trip everyone knows exactly what they owe. Nobody has to keep a spreadsheet, and nobody is left doing fuzzy maths at the airport about who covered what.

The group-trip problem

"Who paid for the villa? And who covered dinner?"

Every group holiday starts the same way. One person books the accommodation, someone else grabs the first big food shop, a third puts the boat day on their card and says "we'll sort it later." A week on, nobody can reconstruct who paid for what, one person is quietly a few hundred out of pocket, and the group chat turns into an accountancy meeting. It really doesn't have to go like that.

Log it once, in the moment

You don't need a better memory for this. You just need to write down each shared cost the second it happens. Someone taps the villa deposit into PocketTrip, notes who it was for, and gets on with the holiday. Dinner goes in when the bill lands. By the time you fly home the tab is already complete, the split is already done, and there's nothing left to argue about.

  • Add a shared cost in any currency in a few taps
  • Note who paid: anyone in the group, not just you
  • Pick exactly who each expense is split between
  • Watch a live per-person balance build through the trip
  • Settle up in a couple of transfers at the end

How it works

A whole group holiday budget in three steps

1

Add your group

Create a trip and list who's coming: the four friends, the stag party, the ski crew. Everyone becomes a name you can assign costs to.

2

Log shared costs as you go

Villa, dinners, taxis, lift passes. Add each one, note who paid and who it's for. Split it evenly or pick just the people involved.

3

Settle up before you fly

PocketTrip nets everything off and shows the fewest payments that square the group. A couple of transfers and everyone's even.

Built for group trips

Everything a shared holiday actually needs

👥

Fair, flexible splits

Split a cost across the whole group or just the people who were there. Uneven shares take a tap, not a headache.

🧾

Who-paid tracking

Log any group member as the payer, so the person who booked the villa gets paid back instead of being left holding it.

🤝

Smart settle-up

At the end you get the smallest set of transfers that clears every balance. Nobody has to do mental arithmetic.

📸

Receipt scanning

Snap the group dinner bill and on-device AI fills in the amount and details. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

🌍

Any currency

Log costs in local money with live rates, all converted to one home currency so the split stays honest.

☁️

Private & synced

The group tab lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. No shared account, no data harvesting.

Who it's for

Any trip where the costs get shared

Friends' getaways & villa weeks

Big up-front costs like a villa or a hire car land on one card, then the daily stuff spreads out over the week. PocketTrip keeps the deposit and the day-to-day on the same tab, so the person who fronted the accommodation gets squared up along with everything else.

Stag & hen weekends

Activities, rounds, the group meal, the one person who couldn't make Saturday. Mark exactly who's in on each cost and nobody pays for a dinner they skipped. The organiser stops being the group's involuntary bank.

Ski trips & adventure holidays

Lift passes, gear hire, the chalet, the après rounds. Different people opt into different things. Split each cost across just the skiers or just the divers, and every shared cost lands where it belongs.

Family trips

When two households travel together, someone always covers "the group stuff." Track it as you go and settle the difference at the end, so no one family quietly subsidises the holiday.

FAQ

Splitting group trip expenses, answered

How do you settle up after a group trip?

Log every shared cost during the trip and note who paid and who it was for. At the end PocketTrip nets everything off and shows the smallest set of payments that squares the group, so you can see who owes whom and exactly how much. You settle it with a couple of transfers instead of untangling a spreadsheet.

Can I split a cost unevenly between people?

Yes. Plenty of costs don't split evenly. One person skips the pricey dinner, two share a room, three go diving. PocketTrip lets you pick exactly who a cost is shared between, expense by expense, so the settle-up reflects who actually took part rather than dividing everything by the whole group.

Does everyone in the group need the app?

No. One person can keep the whole trip in PocketTrip and share the settle-up summary at the end, so the group can pay each other back without everyone installing anything. Anyone who wants to log their own shared costs can add the app too. It's free to start, with one trip and up to 25 expenses on the free tier.

How do I stop one person fronting the whole holiday?

Log shared costs as they happen and note who paid each one, whoever that is. Because PocketTrip tracks every payer, the balance evens out across the group as you go, and the final settle-up moves money back to whoever covered more than their share instead of leaving it all on one card.
