Sound familiar?

Who paid for what this month?

The shared spreadsheet nobody updates. Receipts at the bottom of a pocket. The endless "how much do I owe you again?". With more than one person, money gets blurry fast.

SAVY tidies it all up. No lectures.

  • I did the grocery run all week. Again.
  • We blew the budget… but on what?
  • How much do I owe you for rent again?

Shared expenses

All your shared expenses in one place

Add an expense in seconds: amount, category, who paid, who it's shared with. Everyone in the household sees it right away, with a notification.

  • "Paid by" and "Shared with" on every expense
  • Equal split, down to the cent
  • Personal expenses that don't touch the balance
  • 9 categories, around 50 subcategories, plus your own with an emoji

Balance

Who owes whom? SAVY does the math

No more back-of-the-napkin maths. SAVY works out each member's balance and suggests the fewest repayments needed to get everyone square.

  • Per-member balances, updated with every expense
  • A "To settle" list cut down to the minimum
  • "Mark as repaid", even for part of the amount
  • Repayment history, with a note ("bank transfer")

Well done, colony: the books are at zero.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is SAVY free?

Yes, the essentials are free on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no ads: unlimited expenses, who owes what, up to 4 members per household, an overall budget. SAVY Plus, one subscription for the whole household, adds custom splits, unlimited households and members, category budgets, full stats, the payment link and export.

What's the best app to manage a budget as a couple?

One that handles both the budget and the money between you. SAVY brings together shared expenses, a "who owes whom" balance and category budgets with alerts. Personal expenses stay personal.

How do roommates split expenses?

Create a household for your flat, invite your roommates by link, then log each expense with who paid and who it's shared with. SAVY works out the balances and the list of repayments to make.

Do I need to connect my bank account?

No. You add your expenses yourself, in seconds. SAVY never has access to your bank accounts.

Can I manage several households?

Yes. One account can belong to several households (partner, roommates, a trip with friends…), each with its own members, currency and budgets.

How do I invite my partner or roommates?

From your household, share the invite link by message. It's valid for 7 days: they create an account and join the household.

Does SAVY warn me when we go over budget?

Yes. Set a monthly budget per category and you'll get a notification at 80%, 90% and 100%.

How do I handle rent and subscriptions?

Add them as recurring expenses, weekly, monthly or yearly. SAVY logs them automatically, and you can pause them at any time.

How is SAVY different from a bill-splitting app?

Like them, SAVY works out who owes whom. On top of that, it tracks your household budget over time: category budgets, alerts, recurring expenses and monthly statistics.

Is SAVY an alternative to Tricount or Splitwise?

Yes. Like Tricount and Splitwise, SAVY works out who owes whom. It's designed for a household sharing costs day to day: the free version gives you unlimited expenses with no ads, and the app also tracks your budget with alerts and recurring expenses.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, go to your profile and tap "Delete my account". Your personal data is erased; expenses already shared stay in the household under an anonymous name.

Who pays for SAVY Plus in a household?

The household owner. Their subscription unlocks SAVY Plus for every household they own, and all their members benefit. A subscription doesn't unlock a household you only joined: ask its owner instead.

What happens if I stop SAVY Plus?

Nothing is deleted. The household goes back to Free: existing members and households stay, category budgets and recurring expenses beyond 2 are paused, and stats go back to 2 months. Everything comes back if you resubscribe.

How do I cancel SAVY Plus?

In your App Store or Google Play account settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. From the app: Profile → SAVY Plus → Manage my subscription. You keep SAVY Plus until the end of the paid period.

I paid but nothing is unlocked. What should I do?

In the app, go to Profile → SAVY Plus → “A problem with your purchase?” and tap “Resync”. If that's not enough, tap “Contact support” or email support@savy-app.com and we'll sort it out quickly.
