The popular Danish group-expense app WeShare was officially shut down in March 2024, and many users have since looked for answers: What happened to WeShare? Why doesn’t the app work anymore? And what should you use instead?
This article covers WeShare’s history, the shutdown—and the best alternatives for splitting bills and expenses with friends, family, and coworkers in 2026.
What was WeShare?
WeShare was launched by Danske Bank as an app that made it easy to manage shared expenses—for a music festival, a trip, a gift for a coworker, or just a night out with friends. The app kept track of who paid what and how much each participant owed. It was free to use and quickly became popular in Denmark, especially among young people and students.
Why was WeShare shut down?
WeShare was discontinued in March 2024 as part of a strategic decision to integrate the features directly into MobilePay. One reason was that MobilePay already had a large user base and served as a primary payment solution for many people in Denmark. Note: MobilePay is a Scandinavian payment app and isn’t available in the United States.
The shutdown was announced on short notice, and users were encouraged to export their data and move to MobilePay, where a new feature called Fælleskassen (Shared Pot) took over WeShare’s functionality.
What is Fælleskassen in MobilePay?
Fælleskassen is MobilePay’s answer to WeShare—and effectively a direct replacement.
With Fælleskassen you can:
- Create shared bills
- Add expenses and split them among participants
- Invite others via phone number or link
- See who has paid
- Send automatic reminders
The feature lives inside the MobilePay app and doesn’t require a separate installation.

Who misses WeShare—and what now?
Many users on social media and forums have said they miss WeShare for its simplicity and focus on shared expenses. The new solution in MobilePay delivers nearly the same functionality—and over time, most users in supported countries will likely adapt.
If you’re looking for the classic “WeShare feel,” Splitwise is the closest international alternative. For users in Denmark, Fælleskassen in MobilePay is the most seamless option.
How to get started with Fælleskassen in MobilePay
- Download MobilePay (if you don’t already have it)
- Go to “Menu” and choose “Fælleskasse”

Is WeShare gone for good?
Yes—the app has been fully removed from the App Store and Google Play. If it’s still installed on your phone, it no longer works and can be safely deleted. Your old data can’t be accessed after the shutdown unless you exported it earlier.
Conclusion: Use MobilePay—and learn from WeShare
WeShare was one of Denmark’s most popular niche apps, but consolidating features in a single app makes sense over time. MobilePay has picked up the baton and now offers a strong, integrated solution where available. It’s also good news that there are alternatives for those with special needs or who don’t use MobilePay.
Whatever you choose, the message is clear: No more spreadsheets and manual reminders—group payments are now mobile and smart.
