Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Kira and Splitwise?
Splitwise is for ongoing shared balances. Kira is for one receipt at a time, especially meals where different people ordered different items.

Does Kira require everyone to install an app?
No. The host shares a link and everyone claims items in their browser.
