Revnce vs a spreadsheet
What most apparel brands actually use today
Where a spreadsheet is better
It is free, it is yours, and it does exactly what you told it to. For a brand with twelve SKUs and one supplier, a well-built sheet genuinely is the right answer — and no software will model your business as precisely as you can.
Where it leaves you
It is only as current as the last evening you spent updating it. Landed cost gets entered once and never revisited when freight moves; ad spend is pasted in monthly if at all; and nobody rebuilds the size curve after a drop. The number is right the day you build it and drifts every day after.

Which one should you use?
If the job you need done is the one a spreadsheet is built for, use a spreadsheet. If you run a clothing brand and the question keeping you up is which size is quietly losing money on every sale, that is the only question Revnce is built to answer.
