As the creator of Lily Split, I'm excited to share why our app stands out amongst the competition when it comes to easily splitting bills with friends, family, and colleagues. In this post, I'll break down how Lily Split compares to other popular bill splitting apps and highlight the key features that make us the best choice.
Comparison Overview
I've compiled a handy chart comparing Lily Split to three leading competitors - Splitwise, Tab, and Splid:
| Feature | Splitwise | Tab | Splid | Lily Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| OCR Scanning | paid | ✓ | ✓ | |
| No login needed | ✓ | ✓ | ||
| No app needed for collaborators | ✓ | ✓ | ||
| No app needed for owner | ✓ |
As you can see, while all the apps listed are free, Lily Split is the only one that provides all the other features that make bill splitting truly frictionless.
Key Differentiators
So what do these features mean for you as a user? Let's dive in:
OCR Scanning
Lily Split, along with Splitwise and Tab, offers OCR scanning which allows you to easily scan and itemize receipts, saving you the hassle of manual entry. This is a huge time-saver and helps ensure accuracy.
No Login Required
We believe in making bill splitting as easy as possible. That's why with Lily Split, neither you nor your collaborators need to log in to use the app. Splitwise, Tab, and Splid all require logins which adds unnecessary friction.
App-Free for All
Not only does Lily Split not require a login, but your splitting companions don't even need to install the app! They can view and interact with the split via a web interface. This is a game-changer for quick one-off splits with people who don't want to bother downloading an app. No other competitor offers this.
The Lily Split Advantage
In summary, Lily Split is the only bill splitting app that combines the power of OCR scanning with a truly seamless, login-free and install-free experience for all users. Our goal is to make splitting bills as painless as possible, and these thoughtful features help us achieve that.
