Data last updated 2026-08-13. Checked by the LemSubs research team.
Tricount is what most European travel groups actually use to settle costs on a trip. It handles multi-currency out of the box, has a clean group-based model, and does not require every participant to create an account, which lowers friction dramatically for one-off groups.
After its acquisition by Bunq, integration options and settlement rails have expanded. Premium removes ads and adds richer categories and receipt storage. Just like Splitwise, it is a ledger of shared costs — not a subscription tracker.
Recurring shared subscriptions can be entered, but there is no vendor catalog, no renewals, no intelligence. Excellent for European households and travel groups. Wrong shape for subscription optimisation.
What works

- Doesn't require every user to sign up
- Beautiful, friendly design
- Strong European brand
What does not
- Not a subscription tracker
- Premium is optional but ads persist otherwise
- No vendor catalog or renewals
- No intelligence beyond a ledger
