Comparisons
A pair of choices comes up over and over when people start a payoff plan: which order to attack debts in, and whether to keep the plan in a spreadsheet or an app. Both are genuine trade-offs, so both pages show both sides.
Debt snowball vs avalanche
Cheapest order against the quickest early win, on your own debts.
Debt snowball calculator
Smallest balance leading, with every freed-up minimum rolling forward.
Debt avalanche calculator
Highest rate leading — the order that costs the least interest.
Debt payoff spreadsheet vs app
Where a spreadsheet wins, from people who sell the app.
