Geck Inspect vs a spreadsheet

Most breeders start in Google Sheets or Excel, and a spreadsheet is a fine place to start. It stops working when you want it to answer questions: is this hatchling growing on track, what will this pairing produce, who are this gecko’s grandparents.

Where Spreadsheet is the better pick: Free, with no account and no limit on rows. Any column you want, laid out any way you like. Works offline on any computer.

Where Geck Inspect is the better pick: Answers questions a sheet cannot: growth against the healthy band, breeding readiness, clutch odds. Lineage that links, so a grandparent is one tap away. A passport a buyer can scan, built from the records you already keep.

Pick a spreadsheet if you keep a handful of geckos, do not breed, and like building your own sheet. Pick Geck Inspect if you pair every season, sell hatchlings, or want the records to warn you when something is off.

Spreadsheet details checked October 2026 from their own pages. Prices change; check their site before you decide.
