Expedition vs spreadsheets.
Spreadsheets won't break your business — but they will break your shoulders. Here's an honest read.
If you run one trip a year with a single co-host, your spreadsheet is fine. Don't buy software you don't need.
If you run more than one trip, have multiple hosts, take payments in more than one currency, or want a teammate to help — the moment you cross any of those is the moment a spreadsheet starts costing you more time than it saves.
The honest table
Side by side.

| Audit trail | None | Every write logged with actor and time |
| Capacity caps | Manual, error-prone | Atomic, race-safe |
| Multi-currency | Manual conversion | First-class with FX snapshots |
| Payments | Outside the sheet | Stripe Connect, magic-link payment URLs |
| Settlement | End-of-season migraine | Computed, confirmed, locked |
| Guest portal | Doesn't exist | Magic-link, mobile-first |
