Travel and vacay season is coming up with Christmas and New Year around the corner. And most of us will be travelling with friends and family. Although it is fun to shed the monotone of daily life and add some colour with a vacation, one tends to go overboard with expenses without realising it. And keeping track of all the receipts can be quite tedious. To make things easier and keep a track of what and where you spend, here are some easy-to-use expense-calculating apps to keep your vacation within budget.
SplitWise
SplitWise is one of the easiest apps to track expenses, not only on trips but on a daily basis. The app is free to use however, you must pay a monthly subscription for some premium features. But if there are basic expenses, the free version is enough. The app allows you to invite people to groups and manage expenses in the group and personally without any hassle. It splits the payments equally depending on who pays and who owes. You can add customised texts while adding the expenses for your understanding. The app also provides several currencies to manage your costs.
