Fair point — that's the graveyard of this category. My current thinking: keep it free and see if it's actually useful first.

Monetization only makes sense if retention is real.

What killed those apps — the paywall itself, or the retention already weak before they charged.

Haha, that make sense.

Seems taking turns to pay bill is more favorable.

Just one follow up question: the motivation to take turn to pay bill is because that make payers feel good to take care of the bill, or because splitting bill take time, thus taking turn feel much easier.

I often go out with different groups of friends, so we usually split the bill. It’s manageable, but it always turns into a small hassle trying to remember who ordered what, and run the math on tax and tips.

I'm thinking to have a small tool for payer scan the receipt with detailed items and tax, and tips. then the e-bill to the table and let others to claim what they order, and the tool helps calculate tax and tip based on shared.

But not quite sure whether it would be helpful for others.
