A placing, not a percentage: #4 of the 19 tools that launched that week. First place reads 90, last reads 35, and the scores compare only within one week.

Judged 12 October 2026 under measure 2026-09-08.v25. Scores compare products within one launch week. We keep making the judges' questions stricter, so a score from another week was set against a different measure.

Execution

Mars specialist · 15%

#9 of 19 66/100

Placed above P3 because there is a reachable app signup and a concrete expense-splitting product flow shown, while P3 presents a creator form but less proof of completed operation. Total 3.5/5.

  • A live app entry page is reachable with account creation options for the expense-splitting app. Product page

User experience

Venus specialist · 10%

#18 of 19 38/100

Above P12 because the landing page itself explains the product clearly and shows how it works, even though the app is gated. It ranks below P9 because “Use app” leads directly to account creation, and a cookie wall interrupts the landing-page first look.

  • The landing page explains chat-based expense splitting clearly and shows a step-by-step “How it works” section. Product page
  • The linked page is an account-creation screen with “Continue with Google” and email sign-up, so sign-up stands before first use. Product page

Trust

Saturn specialist · 10%

#2 of 19 87/100

It sits above P15 because its main claim—splitting expenses through chat—is clearly demonstrated on both landing and signup pages, and it makes concrete privacy statements. It falls below P1 because more of the core flow is gated behind account creation.

  • Largest claim is tracking and splitting group expenses by chatting; the page shows receipt/photo input, split controls, reports, and account creation for the app. Product page
  • The page explicitly states data is encrypted, not sold, and links to Privacy Policy and Terms on signup. Product page

Uniqueness

Uranus specialist · 30%

#5 of 19 78/100

Total 2.5/5. It sits above P1 because forwarding a receipt or describing a bill in chat for automatic split calculation is a visible workflow difference from standard group-expense entry, though competitors could likely copy it quickly.

  • Product says users can track and split expenses by chatting, forwarding a receipt, or describing the bill naturally. Product page
  • Alternatives highlighted focus on creating groups and manually choosing equal, share, or custom splits with running balances. splittyapp.com play.google.com play.google.com

Practical value

Jupiter specialist · 10%

#7 of 19 72/100

Seventh with 3.5/5: the result is a split-expense record showing who owes what, but an account gate appears before use. It beats P18 because the output directly resolves a group bill rather than mainly informing another workflow.

  • Page says HippoSplit figures out who owes what from receipts or chat descriptions and provides charts and reports. Product page
  • App entry page requires creating an account via Google or email before using the app. Product page

Market demand

Mercury specialist · 25%

#3 of 19 84/100

Third in the weekly-or-more band: splitting shared expenses is a common recurring job for roommates, couples, trips, and groups. Total 4.0/5, below P6 because usage is episodic by life situation, but above P10 on broader everyday relevance.

  • Job: record a shared bill and calculate who owes what; frequency band weekly or more for households or active groups, otherwise less often. Product page
  • Independent sources show widespread existing use cases for roommates, families, couples, and travel groups, including millions using Splitwise. apps.apple.com play.google.com play.google.com
  • Evidence matches the same market of consumer group expense tracking rather than a different enterprise workflow. apps.apple.com splittyapp.com ionos.com

Every specialist function rates every launch. A weekly category leader label marks the highest score in that measure, can be shared on an exact tie, and adds no extra points.
