Question 1

Can I split bills using Google Pay?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Google Pay has a built-in group expense feature where you can create groups, log bills, and split costs. It works fine for one-off splits but is not designed for ongoing expense tracking across multiple groups.

Question 2

Why use The Hisaab if Google Pay can split bills?

Accepted Answer

GPay is excellent for paying. The Hisaab is built for tracking. If you have a Goa trip with 8 people across 30 expenses, or flatmate rent and groceries every month, you need a dedicated tracker — not a payment app with bill-split bolted on. The Hisaab handles unequal splits, multiple payers, offline mode, and group balance views that GPay does not.

Question 3

Does The Hisaab integrate with Google Pay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you settle up in The Hisaab, we open GPay (or PhonePe or Paytm) with the exact amount pre-filled. You get the best of both: dedicated expense tracking in Hisaab, instant payment via your preferred UPI app.

Question 4

Is Google Pay free for splitting bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes, GPay is free. The Hisaab is also free, with no premium tier and no ads.

Question 5

Which is better for trip expenses with friends?

Accepted Answer

For a trip with multiple expenses, dynamic splits, and offline situations (Goa beach, Manali road trip), The Hisaab is built for this exact case. GPay is better for the final settle-up payment itself.
