vs. Spreadsheets
When the humble spreadsheet hits its limit — and what comes next.

60-second verdict
Pick Pillar if
You're merging 4+ CSVs on Sundays, 10+ people need access without conflicts, or the monthly board pack takes more than a day to assemble.

When spreadsheets still make sense
Under 3 sources, under 10 users, reporting that rarely changes: stay with sheets. Come back when you're merging CSVs on a Sunday.
