Comparison
LeakIQ vs spreadsheets.
Reconciling revenue by hand in spreadsheets is where recoverable money quietly disappears. Here is how an automated recovery platform compares to the manual approach.

What manual reconciliation in spreadsheets actually costs you
A spreadsheet only shows what someone exported, on the day they exported it. Failed charges, un-retried payments, invoice gaps and possible duplicate charges sit undetected between exports, and the longer a leak ages the less of it you recover. The work is also invisible: no owner, no deadline, no record of what was chased or why. LeakIQ re-reads every connected system every hour, so a leak surfaces on the next sync rather than at month-end.
Where spreadsheets still make sense
For a one-off investigation or a tiny transaction volume, a spreadsheet is fine, and LeakIQ exports to CSV whenever you want one. The problem is using spreadsheets as an ongoing recovery process across multiple billing, payment and CRM systems: that is where things fall through the cracks and where a purpose-built workflow pays for itself.
How LeakIQ is different
LeakIQ only ever reads your systems and never writes back, so it is safe to connect. It detects the leak, scores how recoverable it is, routes it to an owner with an SLA, enforces approval on high-value recoveries, and records a verified outcome with a proof pack. You keep your existing systems as the source of truth; LeakIQ is the recovery layer on top.
Frequently asked questions
Can't we just do this in Excel or Google Sheets?
You can start there, but spreadsheets don't detect anything, they only hold what you paste in. LeakIQ does the detection automatically across all your systems and adds ownership, approvals and an audit trail so recovery actually gets done and can be proven.
Does LeakIQ replace our finance team?
No. LeakIQ finds and prioritises the leaks and manages the workflow; your team decides and carries out the recovery in your own billing systems. It removes the manual detection and chasing, not the judgement.
How is this different from the reports in our accounting software?
Accounting reports mostly show you totals, not the individual leaks. LeakIQ reads each connected system and flags the specific findings those reports miss: overdue and part-paid invoices, failed payments and direct debits, possible duplicate charges and duplicate invoices, unused credit notes sitting against open invoices, and recurring prices that have never moved. Every finding is linked to its source record and turned into a tracked recovery.
How much does LeakIQ cost versus the time we spend reconciling manually?
LeakIQ is a flat £5,000 per workspace per month with unlimited users. Most teams spend far more than that in analyst time on manual reconciliation and still miss recoverable revenue, which LeakIQ surfaces automatically.
