Pros / Cons
  • Bartender could be more user friendly by simplifying its interface, but it’s also a very powerful tool with lots of capabilities
  • Sometimes I need to add tables and using them as a cell is very hard. Besides blank cells are also a bit trouble. Because when you delete a cell it says "BLANK" and that changes the table length if it hits the wall.

  • I use it for both and the best part is you can add a ton of items for free but my work one we pay for because we need more options for items but I use it personally for keeping track of my freezers.
  • This is highway robbery for consumers who only use their system for managing a home inventory for insurance purposes. When one considers how businesses transact and manage an inventory vs a home user, it would seem relatively simple to create pricing models that focus on monthly transaction volume as opposed to just record count but they were unwilling to work with me on a reasonable solution other than reducing the items in my home inventory.
