Questions people ask

What people ask before they start, and the honest answers — including the ones about what Tabrillo deliberately will not do.

Is Tabrillo free?

Yes, for everything that matters. Unlimited expenses, unlimited groups, unlimited people, all four split methods, balances, settling up and offline use are free at every tier including without an account. AI features have monthly limits on the free tier.

Do the people I invite need to install anything?

No. They tap a link, type a name and they’re in. No download, no account, no email address. They can add expenses immediately.

Does Tabrillo move my money?

Never. It keeps the record of who owes whom. You pay each other however you already do and mark it as settled. That is deliberate — it is what keeps the app free and keeps your bank details out of it.

Can I use it without an account?

Yes. Start a group, add expenses, settle up. Add an email later and everything follows you to another device.

What happens if my group uses different currencies?

Enter an expense in any currency at any tier. The rate is fetched when you enter it and locked to that expense permanently, so balances never drift.

Can I import from Splitwise or Tricount?

Splitwise by CSV export, Tricount from a share link. Balances from the source file are checked against the ones Tabrillo calculates before anything is committed — if they disagree, nothing is imported.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Add expenses, view balances and read history with no connection. Everything syncs when you’re back, exactly once.

Can it read receipts?

Yes, and it’s free — five a month on a free account, more on Pro. Photograph the receipt in the app and Tabrillo pulls the merchant, total, tax and tip in any currency. It fills in a draft; you confirm it before anything is saved.

Can I just say the expense out loud?

Yes. In the app, “Dinner was eighty-four pounds, Sam paid, split evenly with Mia and Kai” fills every field — amount, currency, payer, who’s splitting, and the category. Type the same sentence if you prefer. No other expense-splitting app does this.

What if the AI gets it wrong?

It never saves anything on its own. Both scanning and voice produce a draft you check first, and if the numbers on a receipt don’t add up Tabrillo tells you rather than guessing.

What if someone adds an expense that’s wrong?

Anyone in the group can correct any expense, and every change is recorded with who made it. Nothing is silently altered.
