WorkGrid Pro vs spreadsheets
Spreadsheets can calculate a price once. WorkGrid Pro keeps immutable estimate versions, change-order approval logs, PDF exports, and a job margin view that includes approved changes.
| Capability | Spreadsheets | WorkGrid Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Estimate version history | Manual file copies | Versioned, locked after send/accept |
| Change order approvals | Email threads | Token link + digital approval log |
| Live job margin | DIY formulas | Estimate + approved COs rolled up |
| PDF export | Print to PDF | Branded estimate & CO PDFs |
| Audit trail | Limited | Built-in audits on money records |
Why leave spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets rarely preserve immutable estimate versions, client approval logs, or a single source of truth for margin after change orders.
Can I still export PDFs?
Yes. WorkGrid Pro exports estimate and change-order PDFs while keeping the revision history inside the app.
