Kanvo vs spreadsheets
Most freelancers start with a spreadsheet, a PDF quote and a lot of messages. It works until you have a few clients at once. Here is what changes when the same work lives in Kanvo.
The same job, two ways
| Task | Kanvo | Spreadsheets and PDFs |
|---|---|---|
| Client accepts the quote | They open a link and type their name; the project is set up for you | A reply in a chat, or a signed PDF sent back |
| Deposits and payment stages | Part of the quote, invoiced at each stage | Tracked by hand in a sheet |
| Extras on monthly work | Counted as you log each piece, added to next month's invoice | Counted at the end of the month, often forgotten |
| Content approvals | One private link per client to approve posts | Screenshots and long message threads |
| Late payments | Reminders drafted for you, on WhatsApp or email | You remember to chase |
| Cost | Free for up to 3 clients | Free |
