Frequently Asked Questions

High-signal answers to common questions about HackBill's logic, privacy, and technology.

Can I split a bill without logging in?

Yes. No account required.

HackBill is designed as a utility, not a platform. We do not require your email, phone number, or social login.

LOGIC: User visits site → Generates UUID → Splits Bill → Data expires.

Does HackBill use AI?

Yes. Powered by Gemini Vision.

We don't use simple regex. We use Google's Gemini Vision API to semantically understand receipt layouts, identifying items, modifiers, tax lines, and discounts accurately.

TECH STACK: Next.js + Gemini 1.5 Flash + Vercel AI SDK.

Is HackBill free?

Yes. $0.00.

HackBill is a free tool. We do not sell user data, run ads, or charge subscription fees.

How does tip splitting work?

Proportional to consumption.

Tips are calculated based on the subtotal of items claimed by each user. If you order more, you pay a larger share of the tip.

ALGORITHM: (User Items / Bill Subtotal) * Total Tip = User Tip Share.
