WG Apps: The top 5 in the overview

WG apps make living together easier. The many tasks and costs can be shared fairly among the roommates. So nobody loses the overview. In this practical tip, we show you the best five flat share apps.

Flat share apps: With Flatastic all your tasks run smoothly

Flatastic is an all-in-one app that takes on many of the tasks of a shared apartment.

It offers the following functions:

• Creation of shopping lists: This way, each roommate can add items to the common shopping list. The next person to go shopping has an overview of what is to be bought and your fridge always stays full.
• Sharing finance: Probably the most important function for shared apartments. If you shop for all roommates, then it is automatically calculated how much each roommate owes you. At the end, a balance sheet is displayed, in which each flatmate sees whether he is in the plus or minus - and that to the cent.
• Cleaning plan: If certain tasks have to be done regularly, there should be a regulated plan for it. This ensures that everyone takes turns helping with the household. With the cleaning schedule, you can add tasks like "vacuuming" and the app automatically divides the tasks fairly.
• Contracts and subscriptions: Similar to the finance function, "Contracts and Subscriptions" helps you to share regular costs and to present them clearly. So not only rent, internet and electricity costs are shared, but also subscriptions such as Netflix, Spotify and Co.
• Pinboard: You can use the pinboard function to write messages to the shared apartment. Most shared apartments use a WhatsApp group, but the integration of this function makes it easier to distinguish important from unimportant.
• Premium functions: Flatastic Premium is activated for a monthly subscription for EUR 2.99 or an annual subscription for EUR 17.99 and offers the option of exporting your finances in addition to an ad-free app. This way you can archive your finances and carry out your own evaluations. In the future there will be functions such as a vacation mode or a calendar to plan for flat-share parties.
• Conclusion: Flatastic is an all-rounder when it comes to flat share organization. It combines all the necessary functions that a flat share app should offer and is free of charge. It is also available in German and offers an additional advantage over other apps. Flatastic is available for iOS, Android and as a web app.

Share costs with Splid: This flat share app regulates your finances

Whether for your flat share, an evening with friends or a vacation - Splid divides the costs and gives you an overview of who owes whom.

The following functions are possible:

• Creating multiple groups: Whether it's a shared apartment or one for vacation - with Splid you can create as many groups as you want to share costs with.
• Multiple currencies: If, for example, you are on vacation and want to pay with a different currency, you can simply change the currency when creating the group.
• Exporting the statement : You not only get an overview of who owes whom something, but also a detailed overview as a PDF or Excel file, which clearly shows all costs.
• Online or local: You can decide whether the billing should run locally on your mobile phone or whether you want to add costs from several devices together. So you can either take care of all expenses yourself, or each participant enters their own expenses.
• Conclusion : Splid has only one task, but it does it perfectly. The app is easy to use, looks very chic, is clear and available in German. If you do not need the many functions of Flatastic in your flat share, we recommend this finance app instead - so you can share your costs without advertising and free of charge. Splid is available for iOS and Android.

Split costs with Splitwise: The following functions are offered by this flat-sharing app

Splitwise is very similar in structure and basic functions to Splid. However, you can decide whether or not to simplify the group debts.

For a subscription of 2.99 euros per month or 29.99 euros per year, the following additional functions are activated:

• Scanning receipts: this way you can quickly add your costs to the app without having to type.
• Currency converter: So that the costs are evenly divided for different currencies abroad.
• Tables and graphics: These provide a clear representation of the expenses.
• ... and more .
• Conclusion : Splitwise is an app that does your work well and is clear. The free version is comparable to Splid, whereby Splitwise is only completely ad-free with a premium subscription. The decision for the better app for you is therefore up to you and which app you can use better.
  Splitwise is available for iOS, Android, Windows and as a WebApp.

Share costs with Tabbt: This way, amounts can be transferred automatically

Tabbt is a German app that allows you to easily share the cost of your flat share, vacation or partnership. Similar to Splid and Splitwise, expenses can be noted quickly and costs shared.

In addition to the functions of Splid and Splitwise, Tabbt also offers the following options:

• Different registration options : You can not only register by email, but also with Google or Facebook.
• With no effort: You can add as many people as you want from your address book. This way, the total amount can be divided without having to create a group in advance. This is helpful if you always have new roommates.
• Add account : You can integrate your bank account into the app and thus make a transfer directly from the app. You can also add a PayPal account and transfer money back with just a few clicks.
• Conclusion : Tabbt is not only a very nice app, it also offers many useful functions and is free of charge and ad-free. In an Erasmus student apartment in particular, the costs can be shared among them. Tabbt is available for iOS and Android.

Flat share apps: With Clean My House, the flat share stays clean

Clean My House allows you to create a cleaning plan. Of course, you can also use the app to add more tasks.

• Add tasks: With Clean My House, you have created a list of tasks that need to be done in just a few steps.
• Repeat tasks: You can set intervals for the tasks and are reminded of them at the specified times.
