Organizing and splitting the costs of shared utilities and household purchases can be the cause of many disagreements between roommates, but Acasa was created as an app that simply and automatically takes guesswork out of the process.
The app makes it possible for couples, roommates and other larger groups to easily share the costs of Internet, water or cable, as well as household goods like bathroom tissue. Since the process of settling costs with roommates can be both frustrating and uncomfortable at times, the app makes it easy for all parties to see the all costs involved in one easy-to-access place. As such, Acasa notes that its app has the potential to help users "avoid arguments" and other complications over money.
Acasa was previously named Splittable, but the platform has been updated with new branding and a range of new features.
