Itemized Roommate Email Invoices & Manager Payment Ledger

Your roommates receive a crystal-clear, transparent itemized statement directly in their inbox. No app downloads or roommate logins required.

What your roommates receive (No login or app required)✓ Zero Splitwise friction

The friction of Splitwise is “Bro, make an account on this app.” SplitRent's unfair advantage is “I just forwarded the bill, and you got an email with the exact math and receipts.” Zero accounts or downloads required.
