Rent, mess fees, groceries and the Wi‑Fi bill, logged by whoever paid and settled in the fewest payments at month end. Free for up to five people, in any browser.

## The problem

### Small amounts, endless IOUs

Snacks, cab rides and printouts add up, and nobody remembers who covered what.

### Rooms aren’t equal

A bigger room or an attached bathroom shouldn’t cost the same as the smallest bed in the flat.

### Someone always fronts the money

Whoever pays the internet bill ends up chasing everyone else for weeks.

## How Traxpend helps

### Shares by room size

Agree the split once, by room size or equally, and every shared expense follows it.

### Rent and Wi‑Fi on repeat

Recurring bills log themselves each month, with a reminder before they’re due.

### Log it the way you say it

Type “groceries 640” and Traxpend fills in the amount, the category and who paid.

### Fewest payments at month end

One settle-up with a UPI QR in India, or a PayPal or Venmo link elsewhere.

## Example: Room 204

Split rule: By room size. Members: Aarav (40%), Kabir (30%), Ishaan (30%). Amounts are in ₹.

| Expense | Amount (₹) |
| --- | --- |
| Rent | 24,000 |
| Mess & groceries | 7,200 |
| Electricity | 1,350 |
| Wi‑Fi | 799 |

2 payments settle the month.

## FAQ

### Is Traxpend free for students?

Yes. Spaces of up to five people are free with no time limit: unlimited expenses, budgets and settle-ups, no ads and no card needed.

### We are more than five in the flat. What then?

The free plan covers 5 people per space. For bigger groups, the person who owns the space can get Pro (₹99/month in India, $4.99/month in the US), which covers up to 50 members.

### Does everyone need to install an app?

No. Traxpend works in any phone browser and can be added to your home screen like an app.
