Registration

Sesterce offers a user-friendly experience without requiring registration, making it easy for your loved ones to adopt Sesterce. Tricount also takes this approach, while Splitwise requires you and your loved ones to be registered to access your group.

Sesterce also allows you to create an account, which enables you to automatically retrieve your groups on another device, very useful in case you lose your current device!

Daily Limits

Sesterce and Tricount allow you to enter an unlimited number of transactions each day. Splitwise imposes limitations in its free version.

Advertisements

Sesterce takes a user-centric approach by excluding advertisements, ensuring a smooth and distraction-free experience. In contrast, Tricount and Splitwise incorporate advertisements, which impact the overall user experience.

CSV Export/Import

Sesterce allows users to import and export their group data in CSV format. This feature is free and ensures data portability for its users. Tricount charges for CSV export, and neither Tricount nor Splitwise support CSV import. Additionally, with Sesterce, it is possible to import CSVs from Tricount and Splitwise, or from many other applications. Even from your own Excel files!

Currency Conversion

All three platforms - Sesterce, Tricount, and Splitwise - facilitate currency conversion. This allows you to use all three applications when traveling around the world. However, only Sesterce allows for fine-tuned conversion rate management.

With Sesterce, you can choose your own conversion rate, or benefit from the latest rate with automatic updates. Each transaction can have its own exchange rate, which is very practical for a long-lasting group to ensure your expenses follow exchange rate fluctuations.

Statistics

Sesterce offers free access to charts and statistics on mobile, providing users with valuable insights into their spending habits. Splitwise also offers this feature, but it requires a paid subscription. Tricount does not offer graphical statistics.

Types of Transactions

Sesterce stands out by allowing users to manage not only expenses but also income and transfers between group members. This comprehensive approach makes it a better application than Tricount, which primarily focuses on expenses, and Splitwise, which does not offer income management.

Expense Categorization

Sesterce excels in expense categorization with a fully customizable system, allowing users to adjust categories to their specific needs. Tricount and Splitwise do not allow category customization.

Web Application

Sesterce and Splitwise offer a web application, allowing users to conveniently manage their expenses on their phone and computer. This allows users who do not wish to download the mobile app to access a group. Tricount is limited to a mobile app.

Conclusion

Sesterce stands out as a must-have application for individuals and groups seeking a customizable and user-friendly expense management platform. Its combination of features, lack of advertisements, and flexible transaction options make it the best choice.

While Tricount and Splitwise meet specific needs, both applications present limitations, whether in their free version or their paid version.
