Sound familiar?

Collecting money shouldn't be a second job.

"Hey, just a reminder 🙏" (the fourth time)

Matching Venmo, Zelle and cash to names in a spreadsheet

"I paid you." Scrolling back through three apps to check.

Being the bad guy in the group chat for asking

It's not your friends. It's the admin.

How it works

Three steps. Then you're done being the bank.

1

Create a room.

Name it, set each person's share and a due date. Choose a one-time payment or a payment plan.

5% + 50¢

One fee, 5% + 50¢ per payment, shown before you pay. No surprises.

The money waits in the room. It sits in the room's own account, apart from the organizer's personal account, until they withdraw it.

Nobody anonymous can collect. The organizer verifies their ID and bank before a room can take a single payment.

The fee is on the screen first. Everyone sees their share plus the 5% + 50¢ fee before they pay. Nothing gets added later.

Payments processed by Stripe. Payout never sees your card number.

Questions, answered

Is my money safe?

Payments run through Stripe, and organizers verify their identity before they can collect. Money sits in the room's Stripe account until the organizer withdraws it to their bank.

Do my friends need the app?

They can open your link and see the room without signing up. To pay, they use the free Payout app.

Why not just use Venmo?

Venmo moves money. Payout runs the collection: one link, everyone's share, payment plans, and a live list of who's paid, so you're not cross-checking apps.

What does it cost?

Payout is free to download and free to create a room. Each payment has one service fee of 5% + 50¢, shown before anyone pays. On a $100 share, that's $5.50. The organizer chooses who covers it: contributors pay it on top, or it comes out of the room's total. The fee includes card processing; there's nothing extra on top.

What if someone doesn't pay?

You'll see exactly who hasn't, before you book anything. Payout doesn't cover missing shares, so collect first, then spend.

Do I need to give my SSN?

Organizers verify their identity with Stripe, the same as any service that pays money out to you. Contributors just pay.

Plan the trip. Skip the chasing.
