Good questions, straight answers.

Tabful is an Android app for splitting shared costs: trips, flats, couples, dinners. You add what each person spent, it works out who owes whom, and you settle up when you are ready.

Yes. Splitting, groups, syncing, exports and settling up are all free; the free app shows small banner ads. Tabful Pro (₹99 a month or ₹999 a year in India, US$2 or US$24 elsewhere) will remove the ads and the watch-a-video limits. It isn't on sale yet.

Android today, available on Google Play. There is no iPhone version yet.

You sign in with Google or an email and password. That is what lets your groups follow you from one phone to another and lets friends share a group with you.

To share a group and see the same balances, yes. They join with a link, a QR code or a short code. You can also add someone by name before they join and merge them with their account later.

No. Tabful keeps the books; the payment itself happens outside it. For UPI, Tabful opens your UPI app with the right amount and payee, and you tell Tabful whether it went through. It never assumes a payment succeeded.

When you mark a payment as made, the other person gets a notification and approves it or declines it. Only then do both balances change. If you got it wrong you can withdraw it while it waits.

Nothing changes. The balance stays exactly as it was, and the person who recorded the payment is told it was declined. They can talk it over and record it again.

Equally, by exact amounts, by percentages, by shares, or item by item with tax and tip added in. Every split is worked out in whole paise, so the parts always add up to the total.

Yes, in a group of three or more: choose several payers and say how much each put in. In a group of two it is simply a pick-one list, because only one of two people can have paid.

Each group has its own currency, so a trip abroad stays in that country's money. Tabful never adds rupees to dollars into one made-up total.

Yes. Tabful works out the fewest payments that settle everyone in a group, so four friends are not each repaying every single bill. The “Fewer payments” demo on the home page shows it with real arithmetic.

Open the group and share its invite: a link, a QR code to scan, or a short code to read out. People who open the link land on a page that sends them to the app.

Codes are forgiving about spaces, lower-case letters and a missing “TABFUL-” at the start, so those are not the problem. Check the code character by character (newer codes never contain 0, O, 1 or I), or ask for a fresh one. You can also try it on our Join page.

Yes. Add them by name, record expenses as normal, and when they join later you can merge the two into one person so the history stays together.

Their phone hasn't shared their name yet. The name is looked up automatically as soon as they open the app, and until then members are numbered so ten unnamed people are not all identical.

₹99 a month or ₹999 a year in India, and US$2 a month or US$24 a year everywhere else. Google Play bills in your own Play country's currency.

Pro isn't on sale yet. Until it is, everything works for free with small banner ads, and the app shows a “notify me” button instead of a Subscribe button.

Subscriptions are managed in Google Play, not inside Tabful: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. The Tabful Pro screen has a Manage button that goes straight there.

In the app: Profile → Security → Delete account. If you can't open the app, email us from your account's address. The delete-account page explains exactly what is removed and what other group members keep.

No. Payments never go through Tabful. If you choose to share a UPI ID so friends can pay you, that ID is stored with your profile.

Your name and email for the account, the groups and expenses you create or join, and the usual ad identifiers for the banner ads. The privacy page lists every item and why it is collected.
