Receipt-OCR splitting · On-device · No account
A Tab alternative
with documented math.
Tab is the classic simple iPhone bill splitter — snap a photo, tap items, done. RightSplit is the version of that workflow with item-level fairness documented openly: on-device Apple Vision OCR, proportional tip distribution, fair rounding, multi-currency handling. Same simplicity at the table; more transparency about how the math works.

Who should pick RightSplit vs Tab?
Pick RightSplit if…
- You want documented OCR transparency — exactly which engine reads your receipt
- You care about how the tip is actually distributed (proportional, not equal-in-disguise)
- You want a lifetime pricing option ($7.99 once) rather than free-only with potential future ads
- You prefer privacy-manifest-grade transparency about what runs on-device
- You're in the EU/UK and need VAT-inclusive receipt handling
Stick with Tab if…
- Tab's free tier works for your needs and you don't want any paid tier
- You're already used to Tab's tap-to-claim UI conventions
- You don't need the item-level proportional tip math
About RightSplit
Questions
FAQ
What is the best Tab alternative for iPhone?
RightSplit is a privacy-first iPhone alternative to Tab. It scans receipts on-device using Apple's Vision framework, splits item-by-item with shared dishes and proportional tip, and shares each person's total via iMessage or WhatsApp. Free; Pro is $1.99/year or $7.99 lifetime.
Is RightSplit free like Tab?
Yes — RightSplit's free tier covers equal splits and the tip calculator with no card on file. Item-based splitting (the core feature most people want a bill splitter for) is the Pro upgrade at $1.99/year or $7.99 lifetime. No subscription required, no auto-renew on the lifetime tier.
Does RightSplit upload receipt photos like some scan-based apps?
No. Receipt OCR runs entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework (VNRecognizeTextRequest). The image and parsed items never leave your phone — there are no servers, no cloud storage, no third-party analytics.
