Students and young professionals living in shared housing face constant challenges tracking rent, utility payments, and shared purchases like groceries or takeout. Existing tools like Venmo or Splitwise handle one-off expense splits but fail to provide collaborative budgeting, spend summaries, or roommate-specific visibility.
The result? Confusion, overspending, roommate tension, and zero budget control - especially for international students managing INR to USD conversions.
