xPlitter: Split Group Expenses

The trip is over and the accounting begins in the chat: who paid for the hotel, who for the taxi, who bought wine for everyone. A note with numbers gets lost, and a calculator leads to confusion. xPlitter turns that argument into two commands inside the group.

The bot splits shared expenses between chat members. Its description comes in English and Spanish, and the commands work the same either way. 🧾

Log it and forget it

Add the bot to the group where you share costs and type /add. That records a new transaction: who paid, how much and for what. Every payment lands in a shared list, so you do not have to recall details a week later.

The habit is simple: buy something for the group, log it right away. At the end of the trip you then have a full picture, not scraps of memory.

Two commands instead of a calculator

When it is time to settle, write /split. The bot adds up all payments and shows how to clear the debts. Instead of a dozen back-and-forth transfers, it suggests the minimum set: who sends how much to whom.

To check what is actually recorded, /history shows the transaction history. And /help reminds you of the command list.

• /add adds a new transaction.
• /split calculates debts and the settlement.
• /history shows the log.
• /help opens the help.
• /more lists other bots from the developer.

A worked example

Three friends go away for a weekend. Anna pays for lodging, Boris for fuel, Vika for dinner. Each logs their payment with /add. At the end a single /split shows exactly what to transfer and to whom.

The principle: the total is divided among everyone, then each person's share is subtracted from what they paid. Whoever paid more receives, whoever paid less sends. The bot saves you this arithmetic and any arguments about rounding. 🧮

Where it fits

The bot is useful anywhere several people pay in turns.

• Group trips. Hotels, tickets, food and car rental.
• Flatmates. Groceries, utilities, household supplies.
• Friend parties. A birthday gift and a shared table.
• Team lunches. When one person pays for all and the rest pay back later.

Keeping the books argument-free

1. Agree on a currency before the first entry, or you will have to recalculate.
2. Log costs immediately, while you remember the amount and who took part.
3. Check /history before settling to catch typos.
4. Settle by /split and confirm the result with the others.

The bot does the arithmetic but does not move money. You pay each other yourselves, in whatever way you usually do. 💸

Worth keeping in mind

In a group the bot sees only what you send it through commands and keeps entries for the settlement. Do not put sensitive details into expense descriptions: card numbers, passwords, addresses. It is a shared chat, and every member reads it.

If the group is large, name one person to watch the records. Mistakes then get fixed faster. 👥
