Tricount is free and very good at one thing: a shared tab. If that is all you need, it is a solid choice.
But on a trip the money is only part of it. With Kaikōdo, the same group that shares expenses also shares the plan, the bookings offline, the chat and the photos, so nobody has to install four apps.

Questions, answered
Is Kaikōdo free like Tricount?
Yes. Kaikōdo is completely free, with no Pro plan, and expenses in any currency are included.
What does Kaikōdo add over Tricount?
The rest of the trip: a day-by-day itinerary with a map, tickets and bookings available offline, a group chat with polls, a translator, places to visit and pre-trip info.
Can I use Kaikōdo for everyday bills?
Kaikōdo is built for trips, so expenses always belong to a trip. For an ongoing tab with a partner or flatmates, Tricount fits better.
