"One broken formula breaks everything."
Automated, Unified, Clear
"Data fetched directly from APIs. No manual entry."
Stay with a spreadsheet if you earn on one platform, get paid in one currency and handle a handful of payouts a month. At that size the manual entry takes minutes, there is no FX conversion to reconcile and no category system to maintain, so a single tab genuinely does the job for nothing. Move on when a second platform or a second currency appears and the reconciliation starts eating your evenings.
