Remitly vs tricount

Remitly is a mobile app for sending money internationally, available on Android and iOS. It serves more than 175 countries and offers several ways for recipients to receive funds: bank account, mobile wallet, cash pickup, mobile money, home delivery, or debit card deposit. Senders can pay by bank transfer, debit or credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Before sending, the app displays the exchange rate, fees, and total cost; exchange rates are variable, and transfer speed is listed as instant. Transfers can be tracked, and recipients do not need to install the app or sign up. The app is free to download, and a free plan is listed. For transfers from the United States to France, bank deposit is free and cash pickup is $2.99, paid once. A new-customer promotional rate applies to the first 1,500.00 USD sent. Sending limits vary by sender and recipient location and apply over 24 hours, 30 days, and 180 days. Remitly says it refunds fees if a transfer is not delivered on time.

tricount is a free Android and iOS app for dividing shared expenses among friends, households, couples, travel groups, events, and clubs. Groups maintain a shared list showing each expense and who paid, then assign individual shares when an equal split is unsuitable. Costs can be entered in different currencies while a trip total is followed in one currency. Users can add expenses without a signal and synchronize them later, and existing Splitwise group expenses can be imported. Payment requests can be shared with people who owe money; split payments and instant transfers are supported. Linking a bunq Card can add shared purchases automatically. The free plan costs nothing, with no ads and no limits. The features page also describes optional paid travel eSIM data plans provided by bunq. bunq B.V. owns and operates tricount from Amsterdam, and support includes 24/7 live chat and email.
