Questions before you sign up

More answers in Help
Is sama sama free?

Yes. Chats, plans, lists and splitting costs are free, with no ads and no subscriptions.

Does everyone need the app?

No. People can reply to a plan from the link in any browser. They can join the app later if they want the chat and photos.

Can sama sama read my chats?

No. Chats are end-to-end encrypted, so only the people in them can read them.

Does it replace our group chat?

It can, but it doesn’t have to. Many people keep chatting where they are and share plan links there.
