Comparison
BildrX vs spreadsheets
The spreadsheet is free, flexible, and already open. It is also how cap tables quietly go wrong. Here is the honest comparison.
BildrX
A register where every number traces to a signed document, conversions compute themselves, and sharing is scoped and revocable.
Spreadsheets
Infinitely flexible, universally understood, and entirely dependent on the discipline of whoever edited it last.

Choose Spreadsheets if
- You have two founders, no investors, and nothing issued yet.
- You need a one-off model with completely custom logic.
Choose BildrX if
- Anyone besides you needs to trust the numbers.
- Instruments exist: every SAFE in a spreadsheet is a future reconciliation project.
- Diligence is coming, and the spreadsheet cannot prove where its numbers came from.
Questions, answered
Can I import my existing spreadsheet?
