The verdict

Gather is the better fit when you buy what you specify.

Spexx is built for spec documentation, with purchasing in Exxpedite, a separate product. Gather is built for independent design firms that source, specify, and procure for their clients, with purchasing built in.

We had these beautiful visual presentations that were lacking information, and we had these incredibly comprehensive docs that were lacking a visual accompaniment. Now we have one place to see all that stuff together.
