Import your Splitwise groups to Splital

You can now bring your Splitwise groups to Splital in just a few clicks. All your expenses, all your history, completely free.

Many of you have already made the switch to Splital but miss having your old Splitwise expense history in one place. And when you recommend Splital to friends, the biggest objection is always the same: "But all my groups are in Splitwise."

Nobody wants to abandon years of carefully tracked expenses or start from scratch. That's why we built a way to bring everything over, seamlessly.

Why people are moving to Splital

Splitwise used to be the go-to app for splitting expenses, but things have changed. Their free tier now limits you to just three expenses per day, and you also need to wait 10 seconds when adding expenses. For anyone actively tracking shared costs with roommates, on trips, or in daily life, that's simply not enough.

Meanwhile, Splital offers unlimited expenses, along with features like automatic categorization, expense notes, default splits, and search expenses, all for free. We built Splital to be the app we wished existed, and we're not putting core features behind paywalls.

How the import works

Importing your Splitwise group takes less than a minute. Here's how:

Step 1: Export from Splitwise

Open the Splitwise group you want to import. Tap "Export" and save the CSV file to your phone.

Step 2: Create a group in Splital

In Splital, tap the + button in the bottom navigation bar and select "Import from Splitwise." Give your group a name, image, and choose the group type (trip, home, or other).

Step 3: Upload the CSV

Select the CSV file you just exported from Splitwise, and that's it. Splital will import all your expenses in seconds.

Even if your group has hundreds or thousands of expenses, the import happens instantly. Once imported, you can immediately explore your group, view balances, and browse expenses.

In the background, Splital will automatically categorize all your expenses. This can take a couple of minutes for very large groups, but you don't have to wait. You can start using the group right away while categorization happens behind the scenes.

Everything transfers over

When you import a group, Splital brings over all the important details: dates, amounts, who paid, how expenses were split, settle-ups, and everything else. Your imported expenses work exactly like native Splital expenses. You can edit them, add notes, change categories, attach images, or delete them. There's no difference between an imported expense and one created directly in Splital.

If the CSV contains any rows that can't be imported due to formatting issues, Splital will show you exactly which ones so nothing gets lost. You'll have full control over your data.

Better categorization, better insights

Here's where things get interesting. Splital's automatic categorization is significantly more accurate than Splitwise's. While Splitwise dumps most expenses into the "General" category, Splital actually understands what you're spending on.

We imported our own Splitwise group, which we were using before we built Splital. For March 2021 alone, Splitwise categorized 88% of expenses as "General." That's not helpful when you're trying to understand your spending.

When we imported the same group into Splital, our automatic categorization reduced that "General" percentage to just 22%. Our expenses were accurately sorted into Food and Drink, Home, Utilities, and other meaningful categories with proper subcategory breakdowns.

That's the difference between vague data and actionable insights. With Splital, you can actually see where your money is going.

It's completely free

Just like most of Splital's core features, importing from Splitwise is completely free. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to move to an app that actually works for you.
