Add up what a per-seat platform really costs you over the years as your team grows.
Estimate only, for a quick gut-check. Numbers update as you type.
Per-seat software looks cheap one technician at a time. The real number is the one you only see when you multiply it out: every seat, every add-on, every month, across the years you will actually run it, climbing each time you hire.
This calculator adds that up. Put in your technicians, the price per seat, your monthly add-ons, and how many years, and it shows the total you will pay over that period along with your monthly cost today. It is an estimate to frame the decision, not a quote for any specific product.
The contrast is the point. A per-seat platform is recurring rent that grows with your team. A custom build is a fixed cost you pay once and own, built around the tools you already use instead of replacing them. If the total above made you pause, that is the comparison worth having.
It multiplies your number of seats by the price per seat, adds your monthly add-ons, then projects that across 12 months and the number of years you choose. It does not include implementation, training or annual price increases, so the real figure is often higher.
Because it grows. The headline price is per technician per month, so every hire raises it, and add-ons and tier upgrades stack on top. Over several years the total is usually far larger than the monthly number suggests.
A custom build is a fixed cost to build plus small hosting, rather than a per-seat subscription. It often costs less over time because it does not climb as you grow, and you own it instead of renting access. The exact number depends on scope.
No. We build around the tools you already use and connect to them, so you keep what works and only replace what is in the way. There is no rip-and-replace.
