The Complete List of Cash Flow Software Alternatives
This might come as a surprise but we aren't the only company building cash flow scenario planning software. Here's a list of all of our competitors and some honest feedback on what they do amazingly well.
Excel is Still King
Let's be honest - Microsoft Excel, and to a large degree Google Sheets, really are amazing. The DNA of these spreadsheet tools is so rich in flexibility and functionality that any software competitor, including whatifi, is going to have a tough time dethroning them.
Still, not everyone wields Excel like a modern day Obi-wan Kenobi. There are plenty of examples of broken formulas that go undiscovered for weeks or months. A blank tab on a spreadsheet can be daunting. Easily managing multiple scenarios concurrently or adjusting for ever shifting dates can be more complex than the blueprints to the Death Star.
We're so confident that our unique, visual approach can complement your traditional Excel workflow that we're happy to share our research. If you are looking to add another tool to your toolbelt, than here are the list of other software companies building competing solutions in this space.
