Do my friends need to download anything?

No. They get a text with a link. They tap what they had. That’s it.

Which payment apps does Dibs work with?

Venmo, Cash App, and PayPal. Everyone gets a link that’s already filled in with the right amount, and pays you in the app they already have on their phone.

Does Dibs hold my money?

Never. Payment goes straight from your friends to you on Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal. We generate the link. We never touch a cent.

How does Dibs split tax and tip?

In proportion to what each person actually ordered — the $14 salad doesn’t subsidize the $60 steak. Shared items divide evenly, and every split is checked against the printed total to the cent.

How does the receipt scan work?

Your phone reads the receipt on-device. Tap Enhance and AI cleans up anything it missed. You review and edit everything before you send.

How is Dibs different from Splitwise?

Splitwise is a ledger — accounts, groups, and running balances you settle sometime later. Dibs is one night: your friends never sign up, everyone Dibs their items from a text link, and the tab closes when the money lands.

Is there a subscription?

No. Dibs is free. No trials, no “pro” tier, no surprise charges.

Not yet. iOS first. Android is next.

Bill-splitting
that doesn’t
suck.

You pay the check. Your friends Dibs what they had from a text link. Everyone settles up on Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal. No app for them, no signup, no chasing.

Free. No subscription. We never touch your money.

How it works

Three steps. One text.

1. Scan. Take a photo of the receipt. Dibs reads it instantly. Tap Enhance and AI cleans it up. Edit anything that’s off.

2. Text. Pick who was there, tap send. Your friends get a link in their texts. They Dibs what they had — no app, no account, no download.

3. Settle. Lock the tab. Everyone sees what they owe and pays you directly on Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal. You confirm. Done.

This is actually it.

The differentiator

Claim first. Pay second.

Every other bill-splitter lets people pay the moment they claim. Sounds fine, is actually chaos — the tab keeps changing while money moves.

Dibs works in two phases. First, everyone Dibs their items. Then you lock the tab and pay buttons appear. No moving target. No chasing. You close the book once.

See how that comparesto Splitwise and to a plain Venmo request — including the nights you shouldn’t bother with Dibs.

What it isn’t

Not an accounting app.

Not a roommate ledger. Not another wallet. Not a place to track running balances for the rest of your life.

One night. One tab. Everyone pays. Done.
