How can we help?

Register with a username, your email address and a password, then confirm the address with the verification email Equi sends you.

• A password needs at least 8 characters, upper and lower case letters, and a number.
• You can sign in as soon as your address is confirmed.

Check your spam or junk folder first, then ask Equi for a new verification email.

• Make sure the address you registered with has no typo.
• If you try to sign in, Equi tells you the account is not verified yet and offers to send the email again.
• Ten verification emails can be requested per fifteen minutes for the same address.

Ask for a reset link from the sign-in screen by entering your email address.

• If an account exists for that address, Equi emails you a link to choose a new password.
• Check your spam folder if the email does not arrive.

Request a password email from your account settings.

• Equi sends the same email it sends for a forgotten password.
• The link in that email lets you choose a new one.

Check that your email address and password are typed exactly as you registered them.

• Your email address also has to be confirmed with the link we sent you.
• If you have forgotten your password, reset it instead of retrying.

Create one from your list of projects by giving it a name and an icon and choosing its default split mode.

• A project is a shared space for one group's expenses: a couple, a flat, a trip.
• You can invite people straight away or later.

Share your project's six-character code or its invitation link.

• Someone who has the code enters it in Equi to join.
• The link opens the invitation in Equi.
• Equi can also email an invitation to the addresses you enter.

That message means the code or link does not match a project that exists.

• The code may have been typed with a mistake.
• The link may have been cut off when it was copied or forwarded.
• The project may have been deleted since the invitation was sent.
• Joining needs an internet connection, so an invitation cannot be checked offline.
• Ask the project owner, or whoever invited you, to send the code or link again.

Equi only lets accounts with a confirmed email address sign in and join projects.

• Open the verification email we sent when you registered, checking your spam folder if needed.
• You can also request a new one from the sign-in screen.
• Open the invitation again once your address is confirmed.

Yes, Equi is entirely free to use.

• There is no paid plan, no paywall and no premium version.
• Equi carries no advertising.
• Your personal data is never sold and never used for advertising.
• Equi loads no third-party analytics or tracking.

An expense can be split equally, by income, by parts, by percentage, or with a custom amount for each person.

• Equal (50/50) divides the expense between everyone included.
• Income splits it in proportion to what each person earns.
• Parts gives each person a number of shares, such as 2 against 1.
• Percentage splits it by shares that must add up to 100.
• Custom lets you enter each person's exact amount.
• The mode is chosen for each expense, and each project has a default that is offered when you add one.

Each expense keeps the split mode and the amounts it was created with.

• Changing a project's default, its percentages or its incomes only affects expenses you add afterwards.
• This is intentional, so that what was agreed at the time stays as it was.
• To change an earlier expense, edit that expense directly.

Each person's share follows their income, so someone who earns twice as much covers twice as much.

• You declare your income once in your account.
• It is used in every project unless you override it in that project's own settings.

Record it as a settle up.

• Equi saves it as an ordinary expense in the Settle up category.
• It is paid by the person who repays and credited in full to the person who is repaid.
• It appears in the expense list and moves the balances like any other expense.

Equi does not track who owes whom expense by expense.

• It adds up what each person paid and what each person owes.
• It then shows a short list of transfers that settles the whole group.
• That list can differ from who actually paid whom, but once every transfer is made, everyone is at zero.

Yes, without a connection you can still add, edit and delete expenses.

• Equi keeps them on your device and marks them "Pending sync" until they reach the project.
• When the connection returns they are uploaded to the project without duplicates.
• Actions that need the server, such as joining a project, are only available online.

Switch notifications on or off in your account settings, for the device you are using.

• Equi notifies you when another member adds, changes or deletes an expense that involves you, or pays you back.
• If you refused the permission when Equi asked, allow notifications for Equi in your device settings first.

Amounts are currently shown in euros.

Yes, from the app, after confirming your password, and it takes effect immediately.

• Your name, email address and password are erased.
• Recurring expenses you created are cancelled.
• Projects you own pass to the member who joined first.
• A project where you are the only member is deleted.
• Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
• If you can no longer open the app, write to us and we will do it for you.
