Comparisons
How B2B sales teams build business cases — spreadsheets, in-house builds, ChatGPT and ValueNova — side by side. Most teams start in one of three places: spreadsheets they've outgrown, a homegrown calculator someone is vibe-coding with AI, or a build-vs-buy debate that's been open for two quarters.

These comparisons are written for each of those starting points. Each one is direct about where ValueNova wins, where it doesn't, and what trade-offs you should be weighing — including the new objection nobody had two years ago: “why can't we just build this with ChatGPT?” Every comparison also lists the situations where the alternative is the better choice.
We don't think every team needs ValueNova. We think the teams that do need it know it the moment they see what their current process is actually costing them. If you have already decided and only want the packaging detail, the three packages and how they differ are set out side by side.
