Why money creates tension in shared flats
- One person often pays rent, groceries or utilities upfront, and hopes others remember to pay back.
- Spreadsheets and group chats get messy; nobody knows the real balance anymore.
- Bringing up money feels awkward, so small debts linger for months.
- Splitting groceries "equally" when people eat different things feels unfair.
How Partly keeps the peace
- Add an expense and choose who's involved. Balances based on expenses and recorded repayments.
- Snap, check, split. AI reads the receipt. You check the amounts. Add an expense and choose who's involved.
- Review balances, open your chosen bank or payment app and confirm repayments once received.
Built for coliving
Snap, check, split.
Scan grocery receipts, review the recognized items and assign each item to the people sharing it. The free plan includes 5 AI scans per month.
Recurring expenses
Start with 2 active recurring expenses per group on the free plan; Premium allows more. Review amounts and participants whenever a bill changes.
Keep track of repayments.
Review the balance, then use your chosen bank or payment app to settle. Partly payment links help open that service; Partly does not transfer the money itself.
Set up your flat on Partly in 4 steps

Groceries and bills through the month
Whoever pays adds the expense; for a grocery receipt, a photo is enough: the AI reads the items and personal ones go to their owner.
- 04
Close the month
“Close [month]” shows who owes how much to whom. Then reopen the group for the next month: the closed month stays in the archived history.
