My buddy and I split everything down the middle. You either completely split it or don't split it at all. If you don't agree to a total split you're going to end up micro penny pinching. "Hey man do you wanna cover the Slack monthly and I'll cover the GitHub?" doesn't work. We just determine what we need, run the billing on a mutual business account and pay it off equally. We split all profits and expenses.

Of course if there is a significant workload discrepancy this doesn't work, this assumes equal work from both sides. Realistically you're not going to be able to perfectly quantify workload %. As long as we put in relatively similar hours on a consistent basis, we split it all.
