MAKER FIRST COMMENT

We built this calculator because per-seat headline prices hide the implementation and renewal costs that small teams actually approve.

The model separates first-year cost from recurring annual cost, supports 5-, 10-, and 20-user scenarios, and includes five source-linked advertised-plan starting points. A user can add onboarding, migration, setup, add-ons, and discounts, then export or print a decision record. There is no signup or email gate, and inputs remain in the browser.

The calculator links to our open CRM pricing benchmark, CSV, JSON, methodology, and related no-signup planning tools. We welcome feedback on missing cost categories and workflows that would make the model more useful.

DISCLOSURE
