Spreadsheet, meet your match
The register that does its own maths.
A spreadsheet is the honest first tool of every class business — until the month it costs you an evening and a parent’s goodwill. ShowUp keeps the simplicity and removes the part that breaks: the manual reconciliation between who attended and who owes.
Side by side
The same job, without the reconciliation.
A grid of cells is the wrong shape for tying ‘who attended’ to ‘what’s due’. Here’s what changes when the fee is derived from attendance instead.
| Aspect | A fees spreadsheet | ShowUp |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance & fees | Two separate sheets you reconcile by hand | One record — the fee is derived from attendance |
| A disputed bill | You rebuild the maths from memory | The family already watched the cycle add up |
| A missed class | A manual adjustment that’s easy to forget | The cycle simply pauses — never overbilled |
| Month-end | An evening of cross-checking who paid | The numbers always match — nothing to check |
| A second teacher | Versions, permissions and copy-paste errors | Each teacher marks only their own classes |
| Getting started | You build and maintain the formulas | Import-first — we start from your sheet |
Not a rip-and-replace ERP — a calmer way to do the exact thing your spreadsheet was trying to.
Questions
The fair questions.
Do I have to rebuild my spreadsheet from scratch?
No. ShowUp is import-first: we begin with the tracker you already keep, bring your students, classes and history across, and show you exactly what was understood before anything goes live.
Isn’t this just a big, complicated platform?
No — that complexity is the thing people are escaping. The daily job in ShowUp is one tap: mark who showed up. Cycles, dues and reminders all flow from that. It keeps the simplicity of a spreadsheet and removes the manual reconciliation.
What does it cost?
Plans start at S$19 a month (about US$15) and include the full attendance-to-fee engine. Every plan is covered by a 60-day money-back promise — if it isn’t calmer than the spreadsheet, the full amount comes back.
