Running tabs work with any friend

Running tabs are not just for roommates. Every friend on Tabster has one, and it fills up on its own as you split dinners, trips and expenses together.

There is nothing to set up — the tab exists as soon as you are friends.

It is worth having with anyone you split with more than occasionally, not only people you live with. The friend you always get dinner with, a sibling, a partner — anyone where costs go both ways over time. For housemates specifically, see a running tab with each roommate.

Rather than settling every single thing, let the balance run and square up when it is worth squaring up.

Because it fills itself, it is accurate without anyone maintaining it. No one has to remember to log the round they bought or the taxi they covered for it to count.
