Spreadsheet or Online Budget Planner

Compare a spreadsheet and DEVENT’s event budget by how your team enters, reviews and shares planning information.

Choose around collaboration

A spreadsheet offers flexible formulas and offline copies, but the team needs a clear current version. An online event workspace keeps budget records near guests, tasks and supplier decisions, subject to the account’s access permissions.

Keep calculations transparent

Neither format fixes incomplete quotes or missing payments. Check the total, paid and outstanding values against your source records. Export a CSV when you need spreadsheet analysis, then label that file as a snapshot.

Worked example · illustrative details

One changed catering count

A meal allowance changes from 60 × A$50 = A$3,000 to 65 × A$50 = A$3,250. Update the authoritative budget once and tell the team where it lives. An older exported sheet still shows the earlier figure.
