Donget vs Tricount
Tricount is a free, no-frills favourite in Europe. Donget brings the same simplicity plus AI receipt scanning, itemized splitting, a shared task list and true right-to-left support.
Tricount earned its 21 million users by being genuinely free and dead simple — you can start a 'tricount' without even making an account. It's a great app. Donget plays in the same space but goes further where it counts: AI receipt scanning, splitting an expense item by item, a shared to-do list in every group, and proper right-to-left layout for Persian and Arabic.
Split item by item
Tricount splits a whole expense; Donget lets you assign individual items to the people who actually had them — so the split is exact.
Truly multilingual, including RTL
Donget renders beautifully right-to-left — not just translated, but laid out correctly for Persian and Arabic speakers.
Tasks for the whole group
Every group has a shared to-do list: claim a job, tick it off, and turn a task that cost money into an expense in one tap. Tricount tracks the money only.

A fair word about Tricount
Tricount is a solid, free choice and especially popular across Europe — it supports a wide range of languages, and if you bank with bunq, your card payments can flow straight into a tricount. If you just need the basics and already use it, you'll be happy. Donget is for groups that also want itemized splitting, AI receipt scanning, shared tasks and right-to-left languages done properly.
