Easy Hisab vs Splitwise: which should you use in India?
The short answer: for most groups in India, Easy Hisab is the better pick over Splitwise. An entry is one typed or spoken line in Hindi or English, or a photo, screenshot or statement PDF; there is no daily cap; and settlement opens whichever UPI app you use. Easy Hisab is always free for unlimited entries, groups and people; you pay only for AI use beyond the free monthly allowance. It works completely offline, so a trek, a village visit or a flight still gets recorded and syncs later; only AI reading of photos and statements waits for a connection. Splitwise is the better pick in one case: a trip abroad with expenses in several currencies, with a group that is already on Splitwise. We make Easy Hisab, so read the table and judge for yourself.

Why Easy Hisab: adding the entry is the whole job
- Type it or say it. “350 chai with Rahul and Priya” or “Ramesh ko 500 diye” becomes a full entry: amount, category, people and split. No form.
- Reads bills, screenshots and statements. Photograph a bill, pick a UPI screenshot or a WhatsApp message, or hand over a bank statement PDF; every row lands on one review screen and saves in one tap.
- Works completely offline. Everything is saved on the phone first; it syncs when you are back. Only AI reading waits for a connection.
- Settles over any UPI app. Pay with the amount filled in, record the payment on the way back, log cash and partial payments. The balance says who has to pay whom in plain words.
- Always free for unlimited entries. Groups, splits, the account, settlement, offline and export have no limit on entries, groups or people. Pro only raises the AI allowance.
| Each month | Free | Pro (₹99/month or ₹899/year) |
|---|---|---|
| AI-parsed typed entries | 50 | 2,000 |
| Voice entries | 10 | 500 |
| Receipt and screenshot scans | 10 | 150 |
| Bank or card statement PDFs | 2 | 10 |
| Typed entries by hand, groups, splits, accounts, UPI settlement, export | Unlimited | Unlimited |

What Splitwise does better
- Your friends may already be on it. Splitwise has 10 million+ installs on Google Play, and lock-in runs through friends: a group that already lives there has a reason to stay.
- Many currencies. It accepts expenses in 100+ currencies, and Pro converts them at the day's exchange rates. Easy Hisab is built for rupees.
- Recurring bills and multiple payers. Bills that repeat weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly, and several payers on a single expense.
- History tools. An edit history for every expense, restore of deleted groups and bills, and comments on expenses.
- On iPhone today. Splitwise is on Android, iPhone and the web. Easy Hisab's iPhone app is in App Store review; until then iPhone users use it in the browser.
How to move from Splitwise
There is no import from Splitwise, and you do not need one. Start from where each balance stands today, not from the history.
- In Splitwise, note each person's current balance: who has to pay whom, and how much. Its free CSV export keeps the full history if you want it.
- In Easy Hisab, create the group, or add each friend. Friends who will not install anything still get an account on your side.
- Add one entry per person for the balance that carries over, with a note such as “carried over from Splitwise”. Typing “Rahul has to pay 1350, carried over” is enough.
- From today, add every new spend in Easy Hisab. Settle the old balances over UPI whenever it suits you; the payment is recorded against them.
Frequently asked questions
Is Easy Hisab better than Splitwise?
For most groups in India, yes: Easy Hisab has no daily cap on entries, reads bills, screenshots and bank statement PDFs, settles through any UPI app, works in Hindi, and keeps an account with friends who never install the app. Splitwise is the better pick for a trip abroad with several currencies, or when the whole group is already on it.
Does Easy Hisab have a daily limit like Splitwise?
No. Easy Hisab has no limit on how many entries you add, on any plan; only AI reading has a monthly allowance, and typing by hand is never capped. Splitwise's free plan has limited how many expenses you can add per day since late 2023; Splitwise Pro removes the cap.
Can I import my Splitwise data into Easy Hisab?
No, there is no import. Start with current balances instead: note who has to pay whom in Splitwise, add one entry per person in Easy Hisab with a note that it is carried over, and add every new spend in Easy Hisab from then on. Splitwise's CSV export keeps the old history.
Does Splitwise work in Hindi?
No. As of October 2026 the Indian App Store lists Splitwise in English and 11 other languages, none of them Indian. Easy Hisab has a full Hindi interface and understands Hindi and Hinglish entries such as Ramesh ko 500 diye.
Which is better for UPI settlement, Easy Hisab or Splitwise?
Easy Hisab. It opens whichever UPI app you use with the amount filled in and records the payment against the balance. Splitwise has no UPI hand-off; you record a cash payment, or use its Paytm integration on Android in India.
What do I pay for in Easy Hisab?
Only extra AI use. Entries, groups, splits, accounts with friends, budgets, UPI settlement, offline and export are free with no limit, and stay free. The free plan includes a monthly allowance of AI-parsed entries (50 typed, 10 voice, 10 receipt or screenshot scans, 2 statement PDFs). Pro, at ₹99 a month or ₹899 a year, raises those to 2,000, 500, 150 and 10 and adds more photo space. When the allowance is used up you can still type entries by hand without limit.
