Qota

Qota is a bill splitting application designed to simplify the process of sharing expenses among flatmates, couples, and groups on trips. The app addresses the common challenge of tracking shared purchases and determining who owes whom by leveraging AI-powered receipt scanning. Users can photograph a receipt, and within approximately three seconds, the AI automatically recognizes all items, their prices, and categories. Each participant can then tap to assign specific items to themselves or use a slider for percentage-based splits, ensuring a fair and transparent distribution of costs.

The platform is intended for a variety of group scenarios, such as roommates sharing household expenses, couples managing shared costs, and travel groups dividing trip-related bills. Qota keeps a running tally of debts and credits, allowing users to see at any time who owes whom. At the end of a month or trip, the app provides a simple one-tap solution to settle all outstanding balances, removing the need for manual calculations or awkward discussions about money.

Qota is available as a web application and is also offered in the App Store. It supports multiple languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian Bokmål. The app is GDPR compliant, with all servers located in Germany. Receipt images are automatically deleted after 14 days, and users have the option to delete their accounts completely at any time, reflecting a strong emphasis on privacy and data control.

19. Credits never expire, and there is no subscription or recurring fee. Unlimited manual entries are also supported. Qota is developed by an independent developer and positions itself as a transparent, privacy-focused alternative to other bill splitting tools, with a clear commitment to user data protection and straightforward pricing.
