Pyne vs spreadsheets

A spreadsheet can model anything. The cost is maintenance: formulas drift, invoices live elsewhere, and the forecast is only as fresh as the last time you remembered to update it.

Spreadsheets are a general tool, not a competitor product with a price page. This page stays qualitative on purpose.

What Pyne puts in one place

  • Time tracking (native timer plus imports)
  • Invoicing tied to clients and projects
  • Cash flow forecasting from your real numbers
  • Tax Center with educational quarterly estimates
  • Rowan, an AI financial copilot that answers from your transactions

How to think about it

  • Keep the spreadsheet if your process is simple, you enjoy maintaining it, and one file is enough for time, invoices, and cash.
  • Move to Pyne when you want the forecast to stay tied to invoices, tracked time, recurring items, and educational tax estimates without rebuilding the model each quarter.
  • Rowan answers from your real transactions inside Pyne. A spreadsheet cannot do that without you pasting data into a separate AI chat.
