what do you guys use to split costs on a group trip without it becoming a nightmare?
95% matchplanning a trip with a few friends soon and I already know the money part is gonna be a disaster lol. last time someone booked the place in euros, someone paid for the rental car in a different currency, I covered a bunch of meals, and by the end none of us had any idea who owed who. ended up just doing the awkward "eh let's call it even" thing which… wasn't even.
trying to do it better this time. for those who travel in groups a lot:
do you just split everything evenly and not stress the small stuff?
one person fronts everything and you settle up after?
some app that actually handles different currencies?
I've tried splitwise before but the currency conversion always confused me and I'd stop logging stuff halfway through. recently been using one called monira app that scans the receipt instead of making me type each one, which is the first time I actually kept up with it the whole trip. but genuinely want to know what's worked for people here before this trip.
Update: I ended up trying Monira app and it's been great for group trips. It handles group and personal expenses, supports multiple currencies, and lets you scan or upload receipts instead of typing everything manually. Much easier to keep track of who owes what
