# TabChaser vs Kittysplit

> Kittysplit is a link-first calculator; TabChaser continues from exact shares into request status and chasing.

Choose Kittysplit for a lightweight browser splitter, particularly for a group of up to 9 on its free tier. Choose TabChaser when the organizer needs to track settlement and open one-tap WhatsApp follow-up.

- TabChaser never messages anyone for you: the host sends each WhatsApp reminder.

### Kittysplit

- It is a calculator rather than a chasing workflow.
- The free group size is capped at 9 people.
