About The Hisaab
Indian rent groups, flatmates, and trip crews — finally get an app of their own.
The Hisaab is a free, ad-free Splitwise alternative built for India. The primary user signs up so expenses sync across devices. Friends in your group view balances via a shared link — no signup, no app install. UPI-native. Works offline.
We started building Hisaab because Splitwise turned its free tier into a paywalled trickle, and Splitkaro started gating obvious features behind ₹450/year. India deserved better. So here we are.
The promise behind every review
We reply to every review within 24 hours.
Read the App Store and Play Store responses on every single review — bug reports, feature requests, even one-word feedback. A real human reads them, replies, and ships the fix. That's a moat Splitwise structurally cannot match.
The validation we've earned so far.

How do we make money?
We don't, yet. The Hisaab is a labour of love by an Indian indie team. Costs are kept low; the goal is to keep core expense-splitting genuinely free, forever.
If The Hisaab grows, we'll fund it through transparent, opt-in means — never ads, never paywalls on what you use every day. You'll see it before it ships.
