Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I stop using spreadsheets for brand deal tracking?
Spreadsheets require manual updates, have no email integration, can't track payment status professionally, and don't scale as your creator business grows. Collabed automates these tasks and provides creator-specific tools that spreadsheets can't match.
Is Collabed better than Excel or Google Sheets for creators?
Yes. While spreadsheets are flexible, they require constant manual work. Collabed automatically processes brand emails, tracks payment status, manages deadlines, and provides professional client-facing features that spreadsheets lack.
Can spreadsheets handle brand email automation like Collabed?
No. Spreadsheets have no email integration capabilities. You must manually copy-paste brand information, which is time-consuming and error-prone. Collabed's AI automatically extracts deal details from brand emails.
Do I need to pay for Collabed if spreadsheets are free?
Collabed has a free tier that includes most creator features. The time you save from automation and professional tools quickly pays for itself compared to manual spreadsheet management.
