Spreadsheet vs Dedicated Receipt Apps
Most people already use spreadsheets for financial tracking. Dedicated receipt apps promise more, but often add complexity you do not need.
The spreadsheet advantage
Spreadsheets are already in your workflow. You know how to use them. Pivot tables, SUM formulas, and filters do exactly what you need for tax prep and budget tracking. No new tool to learn.
Where dedicated apps win
Full expense platforms like Expensify or Concur make sense for teams with corporate card policies, multi-level approval workflows, and travel booking. If that is not your situation, the complexity does not pay off.
Slipsheet position
Slipsheet extracts receipt data and writes it to your spreadsheet. No new workflow to learn, no per-user pricing, no feature bloat. Just receipts in the sheet you already use.
