Choose OwnHaul
You want an item-centered record with warranty dates and reminders already built in.
Why OwnHaul
A purpose-built record beats a pile of disconnected tools.
Spreadsheets and cloud folders are flexible. OwnHaul is narrower by design: it keeps each item's identity, proof of purchase, coverage, documents, and history together.
| Capability | OwnHaul | Spreadsheet | Cloud folder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item, receipt, warranty, and history connected | |||
| Purpose-built warranty date fields | |||
| In-app expiry reminders | |||
| Built-in claim readiness checklist and packet | |||
| Automated email reminders on paid plan | |||

| General-purpose file sharing | |||
| Unlimited manual entries at no cost | Varies |
This is a category comparison, not a claim about every spreadsheet or storage product. General-purpose tools can be customized; OwnHaul trades that flexibility for an ownership record that is ready to use.
Choose a spreadsheet
You need custom formulas or a structure that is unrelated to ownership records.
Choose a cloud folder
Your main need is general file storage and sharing rather than structured tracking.
Try the focused option without paying.
Unlimited manual inventory is included in the Free plan.
