Compare · Manga Insyte vs spreadsheets
Your manga spreadsheet deserves a break.
A Google Sheet is how most collectors start, and it works until you’re in a bookshop wondering whether you already own volume 14. Here’s what changes when your list becomes an app.

Where spreadsheets fall short.
“It’s years out of date.”
“I can’t check it in the shop.”
“Which omnibus was that again?”
Spreadsheets are flexible, free and yours. They’re also typed by hand, cover-less, and hard to read on a phone.
Side by side.
| Manga Insyte | Spreadsheet | |
|---|---|---|
| Adding a series | Search it and add every volume in one tap | Type each row by hand |
| Covers | Every volume, from the catalog or your own photos | None |
| Editions | Each edition tracked on its own | Whatever columns you make |
| On your phone | Built for iPhone and iPad | Possible, rarely pleasant |
| Gaps in a set | Shown for every series | Formulas you maintain |
| Release dates | Calendar for what you collect | Look them up yourself |
| Your shelf | Bookshelves and a 3D room | No |
| Reading | Queue, timer, moments, Memory lane | A “read” column |
| Price | Free up to 1,000 volumes | Free |
| Getting your data out | CSV, Excel workbook or Notion, any time | It’s already a sheet |
Keep the sheet, if you love it.
Export your whole collection to a CSV, a full Excel workbook that opens in Numbers and Google Sheets, or Notion, whenever you like, on Free too. Your list is never locked in.
Your shelf is waiting.
Coming soon to iPhone and iPad.
