What’s new
Everything below has shipped and is on the site now. Each date is the day the change actually went out, not the day it was decided. There is no roadmap here on purpose: a list of things that exist is checkable, and a list of intentions is not.
Rent splitting, city by city
Six pages on what actually makes an even split unfair where you live: railroad flats and flex walls in New York, in-law units in San Francisco, garden units and whether heat is included in Chicago, parking and converted garages in Los Angeles, the September 1 turnover in Boston, and four identical bedrooms with one ensuite in Austin. Each opens the calculator on that kind of household.
Three subscription questions, answered on the calculator
Whether a family plan is really cheaper once you count who actually uses it, what the streaming stack costs as a yearly figure rather than a monthly one, and whether paying annually is worth losing the ability to leave in month four.
The blog reads like a blog
It had five things stacked above the first article and showed the posts in three different formats. Now it is a masthead, a topic bar and one grid of cards — so the thirty-seventh article is an article rather than a line of small text.
Pairly compared with four other apps
Splitwise, YNAB, Monarch and Copilot, each leading with what that product is genuinely better at. No competitor figure appears unless it could be sourced, which is why one of the four quotes no price at all.
A rent split you can send to the house
The rent calculator now puts the whole split in the URL, so you can work it out once and paste it into the group chat instead of describing it. The link is readable on purpose — you can see what it says before you send it.
None of it needs a bank login
That has not changed and is not going to. It is the one thing on this page that will never get an entry.
