English has the expression “call it quits” which has the same sense as quitt, I think.
I suspect that the translation word should be evens being the nearest in the defined sense of quitt. Evens comes from the world of betting.
evens
noun BRITISH
Actually I’d say no here. “quitt” is about settling a bill/score or retaliation. It’s NOT a fit at all for the idea that A and B are just even.
