The free Splitwise alternative that plans the event too
Splitwise is great at tracking who owes what — but it stops at the money. The actual plan (who's coming, when, where) lives in a separate WhatsApp thread. yallacome does both: split the bill and plan the game, ride or outing, in one app — for free, with no per-transaction fees, and your existing Splitwise balances come with you.
Why people look for a Splitwise alternative
- The plan lives somewhere else. Splitwise holds the balance; the "who's in, when, where" is scattered across chat.
- Paywalls. Handy things (like scanning receipts or more than a few expenses a day) increasingly sit behind Splitwise Pro.
- Payment fees. Settling through built-in payment integrations can carry a cut.
What you get with yallacome
- Everything Splitwise does — split equally, by amount or by %, netted into one "who owes who", with receipt photos and multi-currency (never converted).
- Plus the plan. Post a padel/pickleball game, a group ride or an outing; everyone RSVPs, gets reminders + a real calendar invite, and shares photos from the day.
- Fee-free settling. Cash, bank transfer, or (UAE) e& money — mark it paid, the other person confirms, done.
- Free, no app store. Runs in any browser, installs like an app, sign in with Google or Apple.
yallacome vs Splitwise vs a WhatsApp poll
What you gain over Splitwise
A WhatsApp poll plans but forgets the money; Splitwise tracks money but not the plan. yallacome does both — and the photos.

Questions
Is yallacome really free?
Yes. Creating an account, planning events and splitting costs are all free. There's no paywall on core features and no per-transaction fee — you only ever move the money you actually owe your friends.
Can I import my Splitwise balances?
Yes. A group owner or admin exports the Splitwise group as a CSV, uploads it, matches the names to members, and everyone's net balance carries across as opening balances. You don't start from zero.
How does the splitting work?
Anyone who paid logs an expense and splits it equally, by exact amount, or by percentage. yallacome nets every expense across the group into one clear 'who owes who', the same Splitwise-style ledger — plus it handles multiple currencies without ever converting them.
Are there any fees to settle up?
No. You settle however you like — cash, bank transfer, or (in the UAE) e& money — mark it paid, and the person owed confirms receipt to clear the balance. No card fees, no middle-man.
What does yallacome do that Splitwise doesn't?
It plans the event too. Pick a type (padel, pickleball, a ride, a dinner), set the time and place, and everyone RSVPs, gets reminders and a calendar invite, and shares photos — then the cost-split is built into that same event, instead of living in a separate app from your WhatsApp plan.
Do I need to download an app?
No. yallacome runs in any browser and installs to your home screen like an app. Sign up with email, or one tap with Google or Apple.
