How Tab.team differs from other shared-expense apps

Most shared-expense apps (like Splitwise, Tricount, or Settle Up) are built around ongoing ledgers for trips, housemates, and long‑running groups, with accounts, groups, and balances that live for weeks or months. They typically require every participant to download a native app and sign up before they can join in, which is overkill when you just want to get tonight's bill or check done and go home.

Tab.team is built for single, real‑world bills or checks – especially restaurant and bar bills or checks – that need to be scanned, split fairly, and forgotten. It runs entirely in the browser with no login by default, so anyone can join via a link or QR code, claim what they ordered, and be finished in minutes, regardless of whether they use iOS, Android, or a laptop. Under the hood it combines AI-driven OCR, rich split logic (proportional, by payer, custom percentages, and more), and a collaborative UI that feels closer to "we're all around the table" than to managing a long-term shared budget.
