Is Payback free to use?

Yes. Payback is completely free with no subscriptions, hidden fees, or premium tiers. Download it and start splitting bills immediately.

Which payment apps does Payback work with?

Payback integrates directly with Venmo and CashApp. You can also send payment requests via text message with a Payback link, which works with any payment method.

How accurate is the receipt scanning?

Very accurate. Payback uses AI-powered OCR to read item names and prices from most receipt formats — restaurants, grocery stores, and retailers. In the rare case something isn't recognized correctly, you can edit items manually in seconds.

Can I split tax and tip?

Yes. Payback splits tax and tip proportionally based on each person's items by default — so if you ordered more, you pay more of the tax and tip. You can also split them evenly if you prefer.

What if someone ordered a shared appetizer?

Tap the item and split it across multiple people with one tap. Payback divides shared items evenly and adjusts everyone's total automatically.

Does Payback store my payment information?

No. Payback never stores financial information. Payment requests are sent directly through Venmo or CashApp — Payback just calculates the amounts and opens the right app with the correct total pre-filled.

Can I use Payback for groups?

Absolutely. Payback is built for groups. Add friends once and reuse them. The Group Text Blast feature sends everyone a payment request simultaneously — via Venmo, CashApp, or text message — in one tap.

What is a recurring payback?

A recurring payback is a scheduled reminder to split a regular expense — like monthly rent, utilities, or a shared subscription. Set it once and Payback sends you a notification when it's time to split again.

Is Payback available on Android?

Yes. Payback is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).

What if I make a mistake assigning items?

Tap any item to reassign it. You can edit assignments, item names, and prices at any time before sending the payment request.
