WIPI workspaces are shared, not exported. When someone logs or moves an item, everyone else in the workspace sees the change without a file being sent, and each person's role controls what they can do.
| Feature | WIPI | Shared spreadsheet | Sortly team tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-time sync | Yes — changes appear live for everyone in the workspace | Depends on the file being open and saved | Not confirmed — Sortly makes no documented real-time sync claim |
| Service Provider role with no billing visibility | Yes — a dedicated role | No — a file has no roles | Not offered — Sortly roles are Owner, Admin and Team Member with configurable permissions; no billing-hidden role is documented |
| Workspace hierarchy | Yes — folders, workspaces and unlimited nested locations | Tabs and columns only | Different model — Sortly organizes work into "Active Jobs": 2 on Advanced, 5 on Ultra, 10 on Premium |
| Turnover / check-in workflow | Yes — voice or photo walkthrough with bulk moves | Manual | Not documented on Sortly's current public site |
Sortly role names and Active Jobs limits come from its published documentation. This table describes a difference in organizational model, not a ranking.
