SnapFlip vs a spreadsheet
Plenty of sellers track stock and profit in Excel or Google Sheets, sometimes with a paid template. It works, and you own every number.
What a spreadsheet does well
- Free, or a one-off cost for a template.
- Completely flexible: track whatever you like.
- You own the file and every number in it.
- Works with any marketplace.
What SnapFlip does differently
- Fills itself in: eBay sales sync in, and fees and postage are worked out for you.
- Writes the listing too, from your photos, so you don't type everything twice.
- A UK tax-year summary and a platform-reporting tracker, ready to export.
- Your data stays yours: export your sales as CSV whenever you like.

Which should you pick?
If you list a handful of items a month and enjoy your own system, a spreadsheet is fine. If you're typing the same details into a listing and a sheet, SnapFlip saves you the second step, and you can still export a CSV any time.
Thinking of switching?
Export a CSV from your current tool and import it in two minutes. Keep both running for a month if you like.
