Do you need a system, or is Excel enough?
There are six criteria, each with a slider between Excel and a shared system. You set where you stand and what matters most to you, and the matrix works out the rest. If the answer is that you should stay with Excel, that is what you will read.
Set the sliders
The sliders start exactly in the middle, so the result is completely neutral for now. Move them towards whichever side is most true of your company, and the calculator works out whether switching to software already pays off, or whether Excel is still enough for now. If a criterion does not matter to you, leave its slider in the middle. The two scores mirror each other, so if you push every slider all the way to the left, Excel wins outright.
There is no trick, and you can check it
It adds up the six slider values, counts the two criteria you marked twice over, and maps the result onto a scale of a hundred. That is why the IntrApp score and the Excel score always come to a hundred. Whichever is above fifty wins, and above seventy it is no longer close.
Every answer is stored in the address bar, so the result is a link you can send to your co-owner or your accountant, and they will see exactly the same thing. It also works without JavaScript, in which case you press Work it out to see the result.
If the answer was that you are outgrowing Excel, the next question is usually the price. On the pricing page you can work out your own figure without asking anyone.
