Run poker. Settle the night.

Yes, both. Open cash tables with buy-ins, rebuys and cash-outs, or run structured tournaments with a blind timer and payouts. The ledger and one-tap settle-up work the same either way.

No. Felt is a scorekeeper: it records what players choose to record and never hosts, brokers, accepts, or processes any wager or payment. Whether and how you play for money is your decision and must follow the law where you play.

No. Felt tracks who owes who. When you settle up, it opens your payment app (Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Monzo, Interac, or PayID) with the amount prefilled and you authorise the transfer inside that app.

That is a fair way to picture it. Splitwise ends the who-owes-who for shared expenses; Felt does the same for poker night. It works out who pays whom from the buy-ins and cash-outs, keeps the transfers to a minimum, and opens your payment app with the amount prefilled. The difference is that Felt also runs the game itself: the blind timer, rebuys, and tournament payouts. So the settle-up is already done the moment the last hand ends, not typed in afterward. See our full Felt vs Splitwise comparison for a feature-by-feature side by side.

Yes. That is what Felt calls host settlement, a Pro feature. In the default mode players settle each other directly, which suits a table of friends. Switch to “Host is the bank” and you hold the pot instead: at the end Felt tells you what to pay each player for their cash-out, and you mark each payout as you hand it over. That is the mode charity nights, bar leagues, and any table where the players are not all friends tend to want, because nobody has to send money to a stranger.

Felt runs on iPhone and iPad, and your games sync across them via Sign in with Apple. On iPad you can AirPlay (or HDMI) the big blind clock to a TV (a Pro feature).

Yes. Felt keeps your games in your account, so you need a connection while you host. Have Wi-Fi or data at the table.

Any tier can share a plain-text recap when you settle up. Pro adds a CSV / PDF export of the night's ledger and results.

One active game at a time with up to 9 players, full blind timer, and one saved preset. Enough to host a real poker night. (Spoken blind-level announcements are a Pro feature.)

Felt Pro is $69.99/year or $6.99/month (pricing for United States), with a 7-day free trial. Everything you need to host is free forever. Pro adds the depth: 2 live tournaments at once plus cash tables (vs. 1 game on Free), up to 10 open games at a time, up to 90 players (10 tables) per game, ICM / Top-N / bounty payouts, up to 10 custom blind structures, an optional house fee for snacks & drinks, spoken blind announcements, up to 10 leagues, AirPlay or HDMI big-clock, settlement deeplinks, up to 10 saved presets, and CSV / PDF export.

Yes. Manage your subscription in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Your Pro access stays through the end of the period you've paid for.

At launch: US dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound, Australian dollar, Japanese yen. Euro and Brazilian real are planned for a later release.

Not at launch. iOS first; we'll evaluate Android once we see what hosts actually need.
