Trip mode
A holiday is the hardest thing this app does. Several currencies, a dozen small payments a day, one person fronting the hotel, and no signal when it matters — so trip mode is not a separate product, it is the ledger doing the parts of that which are genuinely hard.
Plan against actual · Pro
Give the trip a budget and Antemate compares it against what you are really spending, day by day, with a burn rate and a projected total for the whole trip. Knowing on day four that you are 40% over is the only point at which the number can change anything. Knowing on the flight home is a receipt.
Coming soon: a trip you planned in Yanvara will fill the budget in for you. How the two apps will fit together.
Free, for everyone in the group
The hotel goes on one card, dinner splits six ways, and the taxi is shared by whoever was in it. Each expense records who paid and exactly who owes what, six ways to split it, and a simplified set of payments at the end clears the whole tangle in as few transfers as possible.
Days are counted where you are: an expense is bucketed to a trip day in the destination's timezone, not your phone's and not the server's. A dinner in Tokyo at 9pm belongs to that Tuesday, and it should not slide into Monday because the account was made in Melbourne.
Menu and receipt · Pro
Point the camera at a menu in a language you don't read and get it back in yours, with the original kept full-size to point at. Photograph the bill afterwards and it comes back as a split, line by line, for you to check. Both are part of Pro, and a free account gets 3 scans and 1 menu to try.
Every expense keeps the exchange rate it happened at. Three weeks of receipts in four currencies still add up to one number that does not move afterwards, and nobody has to argue about which day's rate to settle on.
Add an expense with no signal at all — the ledger is built around that rather than having it bolted on. It syncs when you land, in the order things happened, and nothing is lost or counted twice.
At the end you get the shortest set of payments that clears everyone, and you make them in whatever app you already use. Antemate never moves the money.
A shared checklist the whole group ticks off before you go, and afterwards a recap of where the trip's money went — both free, for everyone in the group.
Set the country on a trip and it opens: its currency, plug and voltage, which side of the road, tipping and tap water, emergency numbers and a few phrases — kept on your phone, so it works with no signal. Free.
Put money into a shared pot and pay the tolls and the groceries from it; the balances know whose money it was. Anyone can put money in or pay from one; opening it is Pro.
Free on iOS and Android
Free for everyone in the group. Plan against actual, the receipt scanner and the menu translator are Pro — one person's subscription, nobody else's.
