Excel and Google Sheets are powerful, flexible tools — but building and maintaining a bet tracker in one takes real effort. KiqIQ's built-in tracker handles the maths automatically, works on mobile, and connects directly to your calculators and predictions.

Spreadsheets genuinely excel at customisation: you can design exactly the columns you want, write your own formulas, build charts, and structure data any way that suits you. They are free, work offline, and require no account. If you are technically confident and want total control, a well-built Excel tracker is hard to fault.
The practical problem most people encounter is the setup cost. Building a tracker that accurately calculates P&L across different odds formats, tracks ROI by market type, handles each-way bets, and generates readable charts is a non-trivial project — and any formula error silently corrupts your records. Many people start a spreadsheet tracker and abandon it within a few weeks.
KiqIQ eliminates that friction. You log a bet — date, match, market, odds, stake, result — and the P&L, ROI, and streak data update automatically. The performance breakdown by league and market surfaces patterns that would require a pivot table to find in a spreadsheet. And because the tracker lives alongside the calculators, you can run a Poisson or Kelly calculation and log the context in one workflow.
The mobile experience is the other practical difference. Updating a Google Sheets tracker from a phone after a match is workable but inconvenient. KiqIQ is designed for mobile from the ground up. If you still want to analyse your data externally, the full CSV export means you are never locked in — use KiqIQ for logging and your spreadsheet for deep-dive analysis if that combination suits you.
