Excel & Google Sheets alternative
The Excel & WhatsApp alternative for travel agencies
Almost every Indian travel agency starts on Excel and WhatsApp. It’s free and familiar — until the leads scatter, the proposals take two hours each, and GST becomes a month-end fire drill. Tripaay is the natural next step: everything the spreadsheet does, plus everything it can’t.
Tripaay vs Excel & Google Sheets, for a travel agency
| Capability | Excel & Google Sheets | Tripaay |
|---|---|---|
| Lead pipeline with reminders | Manual, easy to forget | Automatic, with follow-up flags |
| Proposals | Copy-paste in Word | AI-drafted in 60 seconds |
| GST invoices | Hand-built, error-prone | Auto-generated, compliant |
| Customer-facing share | Screenshots / PDFs | Branded link + portal |
| Team access | Shared file chaos | Role-based access |
| Cost | Free (but costs you leads) | From ₹2,999/mo |
Why agencies switch
Stop leaking leads
Spreadsheets don’t remind you to follow up. Tripaay flags every lead that’s gone quiet so you stop losing deals you already have.
Hours back every week
AI proposals turn a 2-hour quote into a 1-minute one. That’s your evenings back.
GST without the fire drill
Compliant invoices generated from bookings — no more month-end scramble with your CA.
Switching is easy
Upload your existing Excel/Sheets lead list as a CSV — Tripaay maps the columns automatically and your pipeline is live in minutes.
FAQs
- Why move off Excel if it’s free?
- Excel is free in rupees but expensive in lost leads and wasted hours. Most agencies recover the subscription cost from a single extra booking they’d otherwise have let go cold.
- Can I import my existing spreadsheet?
- Yes — Tripaay has a one-click CSV import that maps common columns (name, phone, destination, dates, budget) automatically.
