vs. QuickBooks + Excel
QuickBooks is fine for recording transactions. The problem is everything around it.
You probably have spreadsheets for:
- Prepaid amortization schedules
- Accrual tracking and reversal dates
- Expense allocations by department
- Brex/Expensify import templates
- Your close checklist
Granite replaces all of them.
Keep QuickBooks if you want. Or import your history and use Granite as your primary ledger.
vs. Campfire / Rillet
Great products. Built for bigger companies.
Campfire and Rillet are designed for Series C+ companies with dedicated accounting teams and $15k+/year software budgets.
Granite is for the finance lead at a Series A who's doing close themselves and needs something that works without a 6-week implementation.
“I evaluated Campfire but couldn't justify the cost at our stage. Granite does 80% of what I needed at 5% of the price.”
