Every other bill splitter makes you guess. PATE photographs the receipt, reads every item with AI, and assigns exact amounts to whoever ate what. No maths. No equal splits. No arguments. Free to use.

@charlie_titherley love the app, especially as you don't even need to install! Very smooth to use :)
@cory4 most appreciated!

the WhatsApp claim-your-item flow only really works if everyone in the group is willing to open the link and tap through before you're ready to pay, which in my experience is the part that actually falls apart at the table, not the math. how does it handle the person who never taps anything, does it fall back to an equal split for just their share or block the whole bill from closing
@galdayan Hi Gal, thanks for the question, it's a good one!
Neither, really. If someone won't tap the link, the primary user can just add their items manually on the split page instead, so they don't need the other person to do anything. They could just demand that they tell them what they had verbally.
Still, far easier for them than handing over the receipt and asking The reluctant individual to work out their share by hand.

@charlie_titherley that verbal-negotiation fallback makes sense for two people at a table, but I'd guess it breaks down fast once the group is remote or async - the whole point of the photo-and-link flow was avoiding that conversation in the first place. Curious if you've seen groups actually fall back to it in practice or if most just wait the holdout out.
@galdayan if you have friends at the dinner table who frankly refuse to split the bill fairly, then that's a social problem, and not a problem with the app design.
I would then question who you choose having dinner with in the future! 😉
Do note however that there is a 'split everything' button which splits everything equally between all participants.
Dial
@charlie_titherley fair, that's a good deflection and honestly probably true half the time. the split-everything button is a reasonable escape hatch too, though it does undercut the whole "splits by exactly what everyone ordered" pitch the moment someone reaches for it. not a criticism, more that it's a useful signal - if a group reaches for split-everything often, that's PATE telling you the itemized flow isn't worth the friction for that particular group
