RIB CostX vs STACK: Which is best for you?

The workbook has lots of potential to produce very detailed rate breakdowns, I currently work in the Civil Earthworks field and had previously used the program for 20 years in building and construction, so I understand it

We measure tenders for groups of builders, and now Global is being discontinued we are left in the situation where some builders in the group want CostX and some want Cubit (but few want Global), but the process of transferring first to Global then to Cubit is lengthy as the Global conversion has no headings, secondary quantities or Q coding transferred over (and the Q coding system is only compatible with two digit codes).

Updates and improvements seem to be automatic so there is no need to install anything.

Every item has to be manually entered and often the user has to convert vendor pricing to user pricing, again very time consuming.
