Honest comparison

Vexo HQ vs Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are free, familiar and everywhere. They're also where quotes go missing, invoice numbers collide, and nobody knows what's overdue. Vexo HQ replaces the shoebox spreadsheet with jobs, payments and chasing that stay in sync.

The default for many trades — until the sheet breaks.

What Spreadsheets does well

  • Zero subscription cost and total flexibility for one-off lists.
  • Everyone already knows how to open a sheet.
  • Fine for a handful of jobs if you're ruthlessly organised.

Where Vexo HQ is different

  • Jobs, photos, crew and payments live together — not across five tabs and a camera roll.
  • Customers pay from a link; Klarna and Tap to Pay are built in.
  • Overdue invoices get chased automatically so evenings aren't spent on follow-ups.

Pick Spreadsheets if…

You do a couple of jobs a month and genuinely enjoy maintaining the sheet.

Pick Vexo HQ if…

You've lost track of who owes what, or you're tired of rebuilding the same quote template every week.

Common questions

Why leave Excel for Vexo HQ?

Spreadsheets don't chase invoices, take card payments or give your crew a live schedule. Vexo HQ does — so the admin stops living in your head.
