💡 SaaS Idea: SplitSub

A web app that allows roommates/friends to track, manage, and automatically split recurring subscription costs (Netflix, Spotify, utilities) with integrated payment reminders and payouts.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

Problem

  • Sharing ongoing costs (Netflix, Spotify, utilities, rent add-ons) is a recurrent headache for millions who live with friends/partners/flat-mates.
  • The usual flow is manual: one person’s card is charged, then Venmo/PayPal requests are sent every month; if someone forgets, the bill owner eats the cost.

Existing solutions / competitors

  1. Splitwise (12M+ users, Freemium $3 / mo PRO)
    • Tracks recurring bills and sends reminders but does NOT automate collection or payouts.
    • Search keyword “splitwise” 49 500 vol, difficulty 27 – huge awareness.
    • Keyword “splitwise alternative” 1 300 vol, diff 10 – proves people actively look for something else.
  2. TogetherPrice, ShareSub, Spliiit, Gamsgo, Sharingful
    • Focus on sharing streaming subscriptions, take 0-30 % fee on every seat sold.
    • Reddit and Trustpilot show thousands of reviews; TogetherPrice claims 1 M users (press release 2022). Paying customers exist.
  3. Generic bill–split apps: SettleUp, Tricount, Splittr, Zently, Dwell. Again, none pull/ push the money automatically.
  4. Banking apps (Revolut ‘Group Bills’, Monzo ‘Shared Tabs’) automate payments but only inside their own bank network.
