Leave Tricount without retyping anything
Tricount no longer lets you export a project to CSV or PDF. To get your books out, paste the Tricount share link into Counted: participants, expenses, splits and repayments come across into an encrypted project, which you can then export to CSV or JSON.

Can you still export from Tricount?
No. Tricount's official FAQ lists CSV and PDF export among its deprecated features, along with sorting expenses, custom splits and personal mode. The web version was removed too, according to support answers quoted by third parties.
Tricount has belonged to the bank bunq since 2022. The app is still free, and it is also a way to show you the bank’s products.
Importing a Tricount into Counted, step by step
- In Tricount, open the project and copy its share link, the one you would send to invite someone.
- Open Counted, on the web or in the app. On the home screen, tap the “+” button at the bottom, then “Import from Tricount”.
- Paste the link (or the Tricount key) and confirm.
- Share the new Counted project link with the group. Nobody has to create an account.
The project keeps the Tricount's currency. For the import, our server fetches the project from Tricount and passes it to your device, which encrypts it before saving. From then on, like everything else, it is only stored encrypted: nobody can read your books, not even us.
One limit to know about
If an expense involves a member linked to a Tricount account, or its amounts do not add up to the cent, the import stops without creating anything and tells you how many expenses are affected. Nothing is half-imported: you never end up with a project whose balances are wrong.
Then export to CSV or JSON
Every Counted project exports in plain text from its menu, in one tap: CSV for a spreadsheet, JSON for a full backup. It is also what lets you leave Counted whenever you want to.
What you gain, and what you lose
- You gain: encryption on your device, a web version, export, over 150 currencies, a history of changes.
- You lose: bunq’s built-in payments, password reset (a Counted account is optional, but its password cannot be reset) and the receipt photo kept with the expense.
