Smartsheet is work management with a familiar spreadsheet-style grid, alongside Gantt, board, calendar and timeline views, dashboards, automations and resource management. Wizard Application covers project management too, and connects it to invoicing, a sales CRM, HR and support.
If you are choosing between them, this guide sets out how they compare, where each one is strong, and which kind of business each suits best.

| Invoicing, CRM and HR | Included | Not part of Smartsheet |
Where Smartsheet is strong
Smartsheet feels familiar to anyone who uses spreadsheets, but adds proper project views, automations and dashboards on top. Its resource management and portfolio reporting suit operations teams running many projects. For organisations that live in grids, it is a natural step up.
Where Wizard Application is different
- Purpose-built, not spreadsheet-built. Projects, clients and billing are modelled as what they are, so there are no sheets to design and maintain.
- Time that becomes invoices. Hours logged on tasks roll into timesheets and then into invoices.
- Clients and people too. A sales CRM, HR and a help desk on one subscription.
- We move you across. Our migration team maps your sheets and projects into Wizard Application, and you check everything on a staging link before you switch.
Which should you choose
Smartsheet may suit you better if your teams work best in spreadsheet-style grids and you need portfolio dashboards and resource forecasting.
Wizard Application may suit you better if you want purpose-built tools for projects, clients, billing and people on one platform.
Moving from Smartsheet
If you decide to switch, our migration service starts with a free assessment. We map your data, give you a private staging link to check everything, and you keep working in Smartsheet until you are ready, so there is no downtime.
