Brag document choice

Should you use a brag document app or a template?

Use the app when you want one place to keep wins all year. Use the template when you want a lighter paid shortcut. Use the prep kit when the review is close and you need to turn rough notes into sharper bullets this week.

Quick answer: choose the free BragBox app if you want an ongoing system for saving wins, proof, and cleaner review language in one place. Choose the £19 tracker if you want a simple paid document without committing to the full workspace. Choose the £24 prep kit if your review is already close and you need help this week, not a system to learn over time.

Still torn? Take the 90-second readiness score and let timing decide for you.

Choose the app if your real problem is consistency

You need one place for the whole record

A plain template helps in one moment. An app helps when you want the wins, dates, feedback, and numbers to stay together over time.

You want to capture fast

The best record is the one you can update in twenty seconds while the work is still fresh, not the one you promise yourself you will rewrite later.

You want review-ready wording later

The app gives you the long game: save the rough win now, then polish it into cleaner language when the review, raise, or promotion conversation shows up.

Choose the template if your real problem is a smaller first step

Templates are good when you want less commitment, faster checkout, or a lighter first purchase. The app is better when you want the ongoing system.
