Can I import my existing spreadsheet?

Not in Phase 1, which imports one signed PDF at a time. Spreadsheet and folder import is planned for Phase 2 and will keep your column meanings; imported dates will arrive as suggestions, never as confirmed rules.

Is your template compatible with the product?

The template is designed so a later import preserves what each column means. Use it on its own; it does not require an account and does not phone home.

What if we only need a one-time cleanup?

Then a subscription may not be the right shape for you. Tell us; the product plan explicitly asks us to test a bounded import-and-export purchase if that is what people actually want.

A spreadsheet can work well. Here is where it stops.

A spreadsheet, a folder and a calendar are a reasonable contract register for a small, stable book with disciplined ownership. Agreedio is for the point where the sources, the current terms, the amendments and the person responsible need to be connected.

We publish a free spreadsheet template because it is genuinely useful. If it keeps working for you, you do not need us. The rows below are about what a spreadsheet cannot hold: evidence, confirmation, supersession and accountability.

Dimension	Agreedio	A spreadsheet and a shared drive
Where a value comes from	Every confirmed term points at the source document, version and clause; the excerpt is one click away.	A cell. Whoever typed it may have read the contract, a summary or an email.
Who confirmed it	Recorded per field: person, date and source version. Manual entries are labelled as such.	Sometimes a 'last edited by' on the file; never per value.
Amendments	Reviewed as a diff, confirmed, then effective from their stated date; the old baseline stays in history.	Someone overwrites the cell, or adds a note, or forgets.
Notice date vs term end	Kept as separate confirmed values with the rule and calendar-day arithmetic shown.	Usually one date column, often the term end, sometimes labelled 'renewal'.
Reminders	Scheduled ahead of the latest-notice date, to a named owner, with delivery state visible and reassignment on failure.	A calendar entry in someone's calendar, which leaves with them.
Handover when someone leaves	Owner reassignment across every agreement, task and date; nothing goes to a removed member.	Depends on who knew the spreadsheet existed.
Cost	$49 or $99 a month, published, with visible limits. Intended prices during the preview.	Free, plus the cost of the renewal nobody caught.
Getting out	Export the originals, the register as CSV and every confirmation as JSON, without a call.	It is already a spreadsheet.

The register a spreadsheet wants to be.

Counterparty, relationship, type, owner, term end, latest notice and state, one row per agreement, filterable. The difference is that every cell knows where it came from and whether a person has confirmed it.
