Understand any model.
Trust every number in it.
Two focused add-ins for people who live in financial models — one to see how a model is wired, one to catch the errors before a client does.
Half the price of Arixcel for formula navigation — and a fraction of Macabacus.
Premium capability, without the premium invoice.
Pick up an inherited model in minutes
Trace precedents and dependents, walk formula chains across sheets, and see exactly how a model hangs together — instead of reverse-engineering it cell by cell.
Catch the mistake before the IC does
Automatically flag hardcoded numbers buried in formulas and cells that break a row or column pattern — the errors that survive a manual review.
Half the price of Arixcel
FinExplorer costs half of Arixcel Explorer, and the bundle undercuts every audit-capable tool. Sold separately or together at a discount.
Your model never leaves your machine
Both add-ins read your workbook locally, inside your own copy of Excel. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is sent to us, and both work with no internet.
Quality control for financial models.
ExceLint scans your workbook and flags the risks that slip past a manual review — so you find the broken input before your MD, your client, or the investment committee does. Run it as the last check before a model goes out the door.
- Find hardcoded numbers buried inside formulas — the tax rate or margin typed straight into a calculation instead of an assumption cell.
- Rank findings by severity, so a hardcoded rate inside a multiplication rises above a harmless 0 or 1.
- Flag broken patterns — formulas that break the shape of their row or column, where one cell was edited and the rest were not.
- Scan the whole workbook in one pass, jump straight to any flagged cell, and clear every highlight in a single click.
More capability than any of them. Less than all of them.
FinExplorer and ExceLint cover the same model-navigation and model-review work — and the bundle costs less per user, per year, than even the cheapest single competitor.

Competitor prices verified from vendor pages, 19 Jul 2026. Macabacus is a broader Excel/PowerPoint/Word suite; OAK figure converted from GBP 311.66. † Arixcel Explorer offers formula navigation only — no automated model auditing. The valuation.cl bundle adds auditing and still costs less than a single Arixcel license.

What finance teams ask first.
Does my spreadsheet data ever leave my computer?
No. Both add-ins read your formulas locally through your own installation of Excel. Nothing about your model is uploaded, and no data is sent to us or to any third party. What you audit stays on your machine.
Do the add-ins work offline?
Yes. FinExplorer runs entirely inside Excel with no network connection. ExceLint runs from a component installed locally on your own machine, so both keep working on a plane or behind a locked-down corporate network.
How does the license work, and does it renew?
Licensing is annual and per user. Your license stays active for twelve months and includes updates and support for that period. We remind you before it expires, and you choose whether to renew — there is no long-term contract.
Is a license per user or per team?
Per user. One license covers one named person across the machines they work on. For a desk or team, buy one seat per user — get in touch and we can arrange a single order and invoice for the whole group.
Is there a free trial or a refund?
Both. You can try the add-ins free before you buy, and every purchase is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If they don't fit the way you work, tell us within 30 days and we'll refund you.
Which versions of Excel are supported?
Desktop Excel for Windows — Microsoft 365 and recent perpetual releases (2016, 2019, 2021, 2024). Both add-ins install without administrator rights, so you can be running in minutes without an IT ticket.
See it on your own model in the next five minutes.
Install without admin rights, open a workbook you already know, and watch it trace — and flag — every number.
