Who it's for
Four very different kinds of shared money
A family tracking a home loan and four friends splitting dinner need almost opposite things from an app. DueCircle is built so both feel native rather than one being an afterthought.
Families
Rent, the home loan, groceries and school fees in one place — with next month already visible.
A family group is less about splitting and more about seeing. Set a monthly budget, track the recurring bills that actually matter, and compare this month with last so a rising electricity bill is noticed in month two rather than month six. Roles mean a parent can hold full control while a teenager records their own spending.
Couples & roommates
Split the recurring stuff once and stop renegotiating it every month.
Rent, wifi, electricity and the weekly shop repeat forever, so they should be set up once. Uneven splits are first-class: if one person earns more or has the bigger room, set 60/40 by percentage or by shares and let it run. Balances stay live, so nobody has to reconstruct three months of payments from a chat thread.
Friend groups
Dinner, tickets, the cab home. Settle with the fewest transfers at the end.
The awkward part of splitting with friends is never the maths, it is the chasing. Add an expense in under twenty seconds, choose only the people who were actually there, and let everyone see where they stand. At the end, the settlement plan clears every balance in the smallest possible number of payments.
Trips
Multiple currencies, different people on different days, one clean settlement at the end.
Trips break most expense apps: the group changes per activity, costs land in several currencies, and nobody wants to reconcile it while still travelling. Pick participants per expense, record the rate used on each foreign charge, watch the daily spend against budget, then settle once in your base currency and archive the whole trip with its records intact.
One account, as many groups as you need
Your household, your trip and your five-a-side football group stay completely separate. Data in one group is never visible from another.
