Slyce keeps three layers consistent: bill, friend and group. Each friend has a one-to-one balance across every bill and group you share, and one-time bills do not need a group at all. Group balances settle with the fewest payments.
Three layers, one source of truth
Money questions come at different levels: "what did I owe on that dinner?", "where do Ana and I stand?", "who pays whom for the trip?" Slyce answers each from the same data, so the totals always agree.
The bill layer
Every item, who had it, tax and tip, and each person's share.
The friend layer (1:1)
Open a friend and see the running balance between you and them across all bills and all groups, plus the history behind it. Settle it in one go instead of bill by bill.
The group layer
Open a group and see its balances and one settlement plan with as few payments as possible. A multi-currency group settles in its group currency.
One-time bills, no group required
A birthday dinner, a taxi, a gift. These do not belong in a group. Create the bill, share it, and it counts toward your balance with each person. If you later add them to a group, nothing needs migrating.
| Dinner at Nono (one-time bill) | You paid $15.00 |
| Thailand trip (group) | Ana paid $42.00 |
| Groceries (group) | You paid $12.00 |
| Net | You owe Ana $15.00 |
Simplified settlements
If Ana owes Ben and Ben owes Chloe, Ana can pay Chloe directly. Slyce reduces the group to the fewest transfers, so settling a trip is a handful of payments instead of a web of small ones.
Compared with other apps
Many bill splitters are group-only: balances live inside each group and you cannot see a person across groups. Splitwise also tracks friends and non-group expenses. Slyce adds claim links, live mode and free receipt scanning on top of that structure.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a group to split a bill?
No. One-time bills work without a group and still update your balance with each friend.
Can I see everything I owe one person?
Yes. Each friend has a balance across all bills and groups you share.
Does the maths stay consistent between views?
Yes. Bill, friend and group views read from the same data, so they always agree.
