Comparison

SubTrack vs. a spreadsheet

This is the real competition. Most general contractors track subcontractor insurance in a spreadsheet, and it works right up until the moment it matters. A spreadsheet is free, familiar, and already open — we're not going to pretend otherwise.

What a spreadsheet does well

Stating this plainly because a comparison page that pretends the alternative has no strengths isn't worth reading.

Our honest read

The spreadsheet doesn't fail loudly. It fails during an audit, or after an incident, when the certificate you were relying on turns out to have expired in March. If you have fewer than about ten subs, a spreadsheet is honestly fine. Past that, the question is what one missed lapse costs you.
