fairShare review
A focused iPhone splitter for scanned receipts, shared item claims and Venmo settlement.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
fairShare is an iPhone bill-splitting app built for friends, diners and small groups dividing restaurant or shared receipts. AI-powered scanning extracts items, prices, tax and totals, then participants can claim items through Live Sharing without installing the app or creating guest accounts. Tax and tip splitting, per-person breakdowns, merged people for shared payments, smart tip options and saved receipt history cover the main steps from receipt to reimbursement.
The app is free to download and uses scan packs alongside fairShare Pro. Available packs are 5 Scan Pack, 7 Scan Pack, 10 Scan Pack, 15 Scan Pack, 20 Scan Pack, 25 Scan Pack and 30 Scan Pack, each matching its receipt-scan allowance. Scan packs start at 0.99. fairShare Pro (monthly) provides unlimited scanning, and the product description also identifies monthly or yearly Pro subscriptions. This structure suits occasional groups that want to buy scans as needed and frequent users who prefer an unlimited plan.
Platform fit is deliberately narrow: fairShare runs on iOS and lists Venmo as its settlement integration. That combination works well when the group uses iPhones and settles through Venmo, while Live Sharing keeps participation lightweight for guests. Email is the listed support channel. Choose fairShare for receipt-first splitting with collaborative item selection and persistent receipt history; choose an alternative if you need Android access, settlement options beyond Venmo or a broader integration ecosystem.
