Every trip budget in one place

Total trip spending, daily average and active trip count, right there the moment you open the app. Tripence syncs in the background, so what you see is what you have actually spent.

Set a budget, then stop guessing

Give a trip a budget and watch the spending arc fill as you go. Every expense is converted to your home currency with live rates, so you always know how much room is left.

See where the money actually went

Category breakdowns, daily and weekly trends, and trip-to-trip comparisons. Useful while you travel, and more useful when you plan the next one.

Three taps on the plane, and you are set up

Most trip trackers ask for an account, a bank connection and a tutorial before they show you anything. Tripence asks for a trip name.

Create the trip

Name it, pick the currency you will be spending in, and set a budget if you have one in mind. You can add the budget later, or skip it and just track what you spend.

Log spending as it happens

An expense takes a few seconds: amount, category, done. Enter it in whatever currency you paid in and Tripence converts it for you. No signal needed, so it works on the train and in the mountains.

Watch the budget, not the receipts

The spending arc tells you at a glance whether you are on track. When you get home, the category breakdown shows where the money really went, which makes the next trip easier to plan.

Everything a travel budget app should do

Built for how trips actually go

Multiple currencies, patchy signal, a partner who paid for dinner, and a budget you set optimistically three weeks ago.

Multi-currency expense tracking

Log every expense in the currency you paid in. Tripence converts it to your home currency with live rates, so a trip across three countries still adds up to one honest number.

A budget for each trip

Set a travel budget per trip and watch the arc fill as you spend. You can see whether you are on track without opening a spreadsheet or doing the maths at the hotel.

Spending analytics

Category breakdowns, daily trends and trip-to-trip comparisons.

Offline first, because signal is not

Log expenses with no connection at all. Everything is stored on the phone and uploads by itself the moment you are back online, so a week without data does not cost you a week of records.

Scan the receipt

Point your camera at a receipt and Tripence fills in the amount, currency, date and place, and can split it into line items. The photo is read on your phone, not uploaded. Check the details, tap save.

Synced across devices

Your trips and expenses sync securely, so a new phone does not mean starting over.

Private by default

No bank login, no ads, no selling your data. Tripence is GDPR and CCPA compliant, and you can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app.

Questions people ask before installing

What is Tripence?

Tripence is a free travel budget app and expense tracker for Android. It logs trip expenses in any currency, converts them to your home currency with live exchange rates, and shows whether you are on budget for each trip.

Is Tripence free to use?

Yes. Tripence is free to download and free to start tracking trip expenses - no credit card required. A paid upgrade unlocks unlimited trips and premium budgeting tools.

Does Tripence work offline?

Yes. Tripence is offline-first: log expenses anywhere in the world without an internet connection. Trips and expenses sync securely across devices as soon as you reconnect.

Can Tripence handle multiple currencies?

Yes. Log every expense in its native currency and Tripence converts it to your home currency using live exchange rates - perfect for multi-country trips.

Can Tripence read my receipts?

Yes. Point your camera at a receipt and Tripence fills in the amount, currency, date and place, and can split it into line items. The photo is read on your own device and is never uploaded; only the recognised text is sent on. It is machine-generated, so check the details before you save.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet. Tripence is Android only at the moment, so it runs on Android phones and tablets and on Chromebooks that support Play Store apps. There is no iPhone build on the roadmap to announce yet.

Does Tripence connect to my bank?

No, and that is deliberate. You enter expenses yourself, which takes a few seconds and means the app never asks for a banking login, never holds your credentials, and keeps working in countries where bank feeds do not.

How much should I budget for a trip?

A useful starting point is to split the budget into travel, a place to sleep, food, and everything else, then set a daily figure for the last two. Tripence shows your daily average against that figure from the first day, so you can correct early instead of finding out at the end.

Can I use it for business travel?

Yes. Keeping a trip separate with its own budget and categories makes an expense claim much easier to put together, and the category breakdown gives you the totals without going back through receipts.

What happens to my data?

It stays yours. Tripence never connects to your bank, shows no ads and sells nothing. You can read the full privacy policy or delete your account and all of its data at any time.

Your next trip.
Actually on budget.

Set up your first trip budget in under a minute, log expenses in any currency, and find out what a trip really costs you.
