One balance for the whole house
Make a group for the house and add the bills as they are paid. Everyone sees the same running balance, so nobody keeps their own spreadsheet and nobody has to be the one who chases.
For housemates, flatmates and roommates
Split the rent without the spreadsheet.
Rent, power, internet and the groceries somebody keeps buying — one running balance for the whole house that everyone can see, and the smallest set of payments to square it when somebody moves out.
Bigger room, bigger share
Rooms are rarely equal. Split the rent by shares — three for the big room, two for the small one — or by exact amounts or percentages. Groceries split equally; the one-off takeaway splits between whoever ate it.
Everyone sees every change
The activity feed shows what was added, edited and settled, and every expense keeps an edit history that cannot be deleted. When a bill looks wrong, the answer is in the thread under it.
The housemate who won't install it
Add them by name. Their share still counts, their balance is real, and you can settle with them. They can take over the seat whenever they like.
Moving out, sorted
Settle up shows the fewest payments that clear the house. The history stays with the group after the person leaves.
Where did it all go?
Totals show the house's spending by category and who has been fronting it. Search finds the power bill from March in a second.
Works with no signal
Add the grocery run in the car park. It syncs when you are back online, in order, and is never counted twice.
Worth knowing before you set up the house
- A repeating rent is split the same way every time. If the split changes — somebody moves into the big room — change the repeating expense; the rent already recorded stays as it was agreed. If somebody on it leaves the group, it pauses and says so rather than charging them.
- It does not collect rent or move money. It records who owes whom; the money moves in whatever app the house already uses.
- It does not read anyone's bank account. Nothing is imported from a bank, and nobody's transactions are visible to the house.
Share houses
What people ask about splitting with housemates.
What is the best way to split rent with roommates?
Agree the split once — equally, by room size using shares, or by exact amounts — and record the rent against it each time it is paid, in an app everyone can see. Antemate keeps one running balance for the house and shows the fewest payments to settle it, for free, with no ads and no daily limit.
How do we split rent when the rooms are different sizes?
Use shares: for example three shares for the large room and two for each smaller one, and the rent divides in that proportion. Exact amounts and percentages work too.
Does Antemate add the rent automatically every month?
Yes, free. Add the rent once and choose how often it repeats — weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly — and it is added on its day, split the same way, for everyone to see. You can pause it or stop it from the group, and stopping it never changes the rent already recorded.
Can Antemate remind housemates to pay?
Yes, free. Whoever is owed can tap Remind on the settle-up screen and the housemate gets one notification saying what they owe — at most once a day. Or set the house to remind everyone who owes weekly or monthly, at ten in the morning their time. Anyone can switch reminders off for themselves.
What if one housemate will not use the app?
Add them by name. Their shares count, their balance is real, and you can settle with them. If they install it later, they take over that seat.
What happens when someone moves out?
Settle up shows the fewest payments that clear their balance with the house. The group and its history stay for everyone who remains.
