Record costs while the decision is fresh
Add the booking or meal when it happens, choose who it covers and let the balance update. Waiting until the last day turns simple receipts into a reconstruction exercise.
Shared or personal
Separate group costs from the coffee or souvenir someone bought for themselves.
Clear participants
Include only the people who benefit from each expense.
Fewer transfers
Use the running balance to see the simplest way to settle at the end.
Plan beside spend
Keep the reservation and its cost in the same trip context.

Download Troupe and leave the spreadsheet behind.
