HEY!Money vs Tricount: don’t let money get between friends
Tricount helps a group keep shared expenses in order. HEY!Money focuses on what comes after: following up on what you paid upfront and sending a friendly reminder when you decide.
Choose by what you need
| If you need… | HEY!Money | Tricount |
|---|---|---|
| Keep a shared record of group expenses | Yes, for simple group splits. | Yes, its core strength. |
| Work out who owes what | Yes, even splits per person. | Yes, with balances for the whole group. |
| Ask for the money without it feeling awkward | Yes. Reminders in your name, with a tone you choose and review. | Not the focus. |
| Friend replies without an account | Yes. They get a link to say “paid” or pick a date. | Group members usually join the tricount. |
| No bank connection | Never asks for bank access. | Offers its own payment features. |
How HEY!Money handles a debt
- Note who owes you, how much and why. Recording debts and splitting bills is always free.
- When you decide, send a HEY: a short, friendly reminder by SMS or email. Nothing is sent automatically.
- Your friend pays you however you like (bank transfer, cash, a payment app) and you mark it as paid.
Where Tricount has the edge
- a trip with many payments from many people;
- a group that wants one shared list of everything spent;
- settling a whole group balance at the end.
Which should you choose?
Pick Tricount if your problem is organising group spending. Pick HEY!Money if the numbers are clear but asking for the money is the hard part.
