Where Spliit wins
Honesty matters. Here's what Spliit does better than us today.
Open-source and self-hostable
If you want full control over your data, you can host Spliit on your own server. The Hisaab is closed-source.
Privacy purists love it
For users who want zero third-party data risk, self-hosted Spliit is unbeatable. The Hisaab is privacy-respecting (no tracking, no selling) but cloud-hosted.
