Group Chat

The group chat app for better collaboration

TL;DR Expensify Group Chat is a free chat tool built into New Expensify that helps you collaborate and get stuff done more efficiently with your friends, family, roommates, volunteer groups, and more. 

How many apps do you use in a given day? The answer probably is – a lot. These days, managing your personal life, including being social, keeping up things at home and work, and tracking your expenses (or trying to) is a full time job, in and of itself. We get it – you’re busy and maybe feeling overwhelmed with all that’s going on. 

Perhaps you live with roommates and have a group chat app but use another app to split bills and pay each other back for expenses like rent and utilities. Or, maybe you’re the captain of a local softball team and use email to get everyone’s snack preferences for game day and then use an Excel sheet to track expenses, including who’s paid you back (and who hasn’t). What if you’re coordinating a bachelorette trip to Cabo and need to pay everything in advance and figure out who owes what? 

There’s an app for that. 

Enter Expensify Group Chat. Built with your everyday communication needs in mind, we’re here to help you centralize and amplify all the things you need to get done with your groups – from school projects to keeping the peace with your roomies to avoiding the awkward “you still owe me” talk with your posse. Stop using #alltheapps and instead use our all-in-one app.
