Things people ask

Will an Excel workbook really do everything AgencyAnalytics + ClickUp does?

No — that's honest. AgencyAnalytics + ClickUp has features a spreadsheet can't match (live bank sync, mobile app, AI assistance). What the workbook does is the core math you actually use weekly. If you're paying $90/mo mostly for features you never open, switching saves you $1080/yr. If you genuinely use the platform-specific features, stay where you are.

What's the catch with paying $19 once vs $90/mo?

No catch. The workbook is a .xlsx file you download and own. There's no expiry, no account, no cloud lock-in. You enter your own data manually — that's the friction trade. Over 10 years you'd pay AgencyAnalytics + ClickUp roughly $10,800. The workbook costs $19 once, so you keep ~$10,781.0.

What spreadsheet apps does it open in?

Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers — all three open .xlsx natively. Google Sheets and Apple Numbers are free. You don't need an Excel subscription.

How do I switch from AgencyAnalytics + ClickUp?

Three steps: (1) export your historical data from AgencyAnalytics + ClickUp as CSV, (2) open the gridmoo workbook and paste the data into the input sheets, (3) cancel your AgencyAnalytics + ClickUp subscription. Most users finish the switch in 30–60 minutes.
