What is Budget Sync: Shared expenses?

Budget Sync is a shared expense management tool designed to help families and groups keep track of who owes what. Rather than splitting bills manually or using spreadsheets, it centralises shared spending in one place, making it easier to see who has paid for what and settle debts fairly. The tool works on a freemium basis, meaning basic features are available free of charge with optional paid upgrades for additional functionality. It's particularly useful for households with multiple earners, flat shares, or any situation where people regularly share costs and need a clear record of who should reimburse whom.
