Overview
ShareShare is a receipt scanning and bill splitting application designed to make sharing expenses with friends simple and hassle-free. With ShareShare, you can quickly scan receipts, automatically extract items, assign them to different people, and calculate how much each person owes.
Whether you're dining out with friends, sharing groceries with flatmates, or splitting travel expenses, ShareShare eliminates the headache of manual calculations and ensures everyone pays their fair share.
Getting Started
1. Capture a Receipt
Start by taking a photo of your receipt or uploading one from your gallery. ShareShare will automatically process the image and extract all items and their prices.
2. Set Up Your Split
Select how many friends you're splitting with (up to 7) and optionally enter their initials for easier identification. You can also select your preferred currency at the bottom of the screen - even though it will try to predict your currency based on where you're at.
3. Assign Items
Once your receipt is processed, you'll see all items listed. Tap on each item to assign it to yourself, a specific friend, or mark it as shared. For shared items, you can adjust the split percentages (only if sharing with one friend).
4. Review and Share
Go to the Split Summary tab to see a breakdown of what each person owes. You can adjust tax and tips settings, save the receipt for later (if saved as a web app on your phone), or share the summary with your friends.
How It Works
Receipt Processing
ShareShare uses advanced AI models to analyze your receipt images. Currently, all models are free to use during our promotional period. In the future, premium models offering enhanced accuracy and faster processing for complex receipts may require a subscription.
Item Assignment
After processing, you can assign each item to yourself, a friend, or mark it as shared. For shared items, you can specify custom split percentages (for splitting among one friend) or use an equal split.
Tax and Tip Handling
ShareShare allows you to add tax and tip amounts to your bill and distribute them proportionally among all participants or include them in specific calculations. Tax is entered in amount, while tips have both amount and percentage. In countries where you have service charges instead of tips, you can use the tips percentage too.
Data Storage
In order for the save receipt function to work, you need to store the app as a web app. All receipt data is stored locally on your device for now. You can save receipts for future reference and load them again when needed.
FAQs
Is ShareShare free to use?
Yes, ShareShare is currently free to use for a limited time. In the future, premium features like enhanced AI models may require a subscription (I'm covering the cost now T.T).
How to save the website as a Web App?
I am working to see if a simple way can be introduced. For now, go to your browser on your mobile phone and find an option to "Add to Home Screen". IPhone users can do that by pressing the export logo, then press on the "Add to Home Screen" option.
How accurate is the receipt scanning?
ShareShare's accuracy depends on the quality of the receipt image and the complexity of the receipt. For best results, ensure good lighting and a clear, flat image of the receipt. The premium model also generally performs better than the free model.
Can I edit items after scanning?
Not at the moment. I am however looking to get it implemented soon.
How many friends can I split with?
Currently, ShareShare supports splitting with up to 4 friends.
What currencies are supported?
ShareShare supports multiple currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, INR, SGD, and MYR. The app automatically detects your local currency.
Privacy & Security
Data Storage
ShareShare stores all your receipt data locally on your device. We do not store your receipts or personal information on our servers.
Receipt Processing
When you scan a receipt, the image is temporarily sent to our AI service provider for processing. The image is not stored permanently and is deleted after processing. Free models might use the data for AI training, while premium models do not train on your data (as per their respective policies for API usage).
No Account Required (Currently)
ShareShare currently does not require you to create an account. In the future, account creation may be added to support subscription features, but we'll always respect your privacy.
Data Sharing
When you use the share feature, ShareShare only shares the summary of who owes what. No receipt details or images are shared.
Troubleshooting
Receipt Not Scanning Properly
If your receipt isn't being scanned correctly:
- Ensure good lighting with no shadows across the receipt
- Place the receipt on a flat, contrasting surface
- Make sure the entire receipt is visible in the frame
- Try using the premium AI model for better accuracy
Missing or Incorrect Items
If there are extra items that isn't an item (for example - tax), you can simply not assign it to anyone and it will not be included. For items displayed incorrectly, I will be looking to add this functionality in near future, for now taking a clearer picture might work.
App Performance Issues
In the rare event that the app is running slowly or crashing:
- Refresh the page
- Clear your browser cache
- Try using a different browser
Sharing Not Working
If you're unable to share the split summary, your browser might not support the Web Share API. Try using the "Export CSV" or "Export Image" options instead.
Contact & Feedback
I am constantly working to improve ShareShare and would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or bug reports.
