If you are looking for a financial planning and analysis tool, it may be worth considering both Pry and Dryrun. Pry enables businesses to explore their finances, track their cash flow, predict sales, and automate many of the tasks related to business finance. Although it's a great platform, Dryrun offers the additional functionality within a truly modern and intuitive interface.

About Pry

Pry makes use of your accounting data to help you understand your business and make informed decisions. It’s a financial reporting tool for founders who aren't finance pros. It's built on an Excel-style foundation, but for your business. You can use it to track all of your company's expenses and revenue, as well as track employee hours, manage projects, and more.

You can also use Pry to keep track of your company's financial health. The app will give you daily reports on everything from revenue to expenses and help keep you on track of your goals.

Pry allows you to create a baseline forecast based on your current business plan and then change assumptions in order to gain a sense of what may happen through various outcomes. It's a good way to start thinking about how your business might evolve over time.

One potential downside to using Pry is that you need to be comfortable building and maintaining spreadsheets. This means that you'll need to know how to use Excel, or at least have someone on your team who does.

With Pry, you also have limited access to granular level adjustments.

Pry Cons
