One pool for the gift.
Everyone in it can see it.
Tadapool isn't a bill splitter. It's the simple, transparent way friends, colleagues and family chip in for a birthday, a wedding or a farewell — and decide together what to buy. Every pool is invite‑only.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, then it runs itself
Name the occasion, pick a date and a currency, set a target if you want one — or leave it an open pool. Choose how people can pay you: Bizum, Wise, bank transfer, cash.
Pick friends from your list. They say yes or no, so you know who's actually in before you count on the money. Nobody outside the pool can see it.
Everyone contributes what they like and leaves a note. Suggest gift ideas, vote on them, and watch the pool fill — the same numbers visible to everyone.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Built for the awkward bits
Chasing people, remembering who paid, arguing over the present. Tadapool handles all three.
Being added isn't the same as agreeing. People say "count me in" — and only you, the organiser, see who hasn't replied yet.
Every contribution is listed with who, when, how and a note. No private spreadsheet, no "did you get mine?" messages.
Suggest ideas with a price and a description, vote, and let the top choice win. The group picks the present, not the loudest person in the chat.
Bizum, Wise, bank transfer or cash. You publish the instructions once; contributors see exactly where to send it.
Money moves outside the app too. Record what you hold and what they hold — kept as two separate figures per currency, never netted into one confusing total.
People get notified when they're invited, when someone chips in and when the gift is chosen. You send one reminder instead of ten messages.
Drop the link in the group chat. Whoever opens it joins as invited — they still say yes or no, you still see the whole list, and the pool stays yours to close.
Give what you can without it being a scoreboard. Others see that you chipped in; only the organiser — who has to reconcile the money — sees how much.
Sent, accepted, rejected, spent — each transfer keeps its amount, method and date, waiting on whoever owes the answer. Nobody has to remember.
EVERY SCREEN
One app, whatever you're holding
Tadapool was drawn for a phone, then rebuilt so it fits the screen you actually opened it on. Nothing is stretched — the layout changes.
FRIENDS & HELD MONEY
Somebody is always holding somebody's cash
Marco Bianchi hands you €75 across a couple of hand-offs for a gift that hasn't been bought yet. That money is real, it is his, and until now it lived in your head. He logs it, you accept it, and it becomes a balance between the two of you — until you accept, it sits as pending in and counts for nothing. Then, when the pool comes, you put some or all of it in under his name: spend €28 and the remaining €47 stays free. What you spent is earmarked for that pool until it completes, the pool goes up by the same, and nobody counts it twice.
YOUR MONEY
Tadapool never touches the money
There is no wallet, no card on file and no payment processing. People pay the organiser directly, the way they already do — Tadapool keeps the record so everyone can see the same thing.
That's why it's free, why there are no fees, and why nothing is held up in transfer.
