Tools

Three free tools. No email, no signup wall, nothing stored. Built because every calculator in this market asks for your details before it shows you a number — and most flatter the answer once it does.

Why these are free and ungated

A calculator behind an email form is a lead-capture device wearing a tool costume. The number it gives you is usually optimistic, because its job is to make the next step feel obvious rather than to be right.

Ours default to a 60% recovery rate rather than 100%, use median wages rather than mean, and show the cost line alongside the benefit. If the numbers do not work for your situation, you should be able to find that out in thirty seconds without talking to anyone — including finding out that you should not buy from us.

The one setting that matters most

On the ROI calculator it is the recovery rate: the share of freed-up time that turns into other work rather than evaporating into rework, review and the meeting about the new process. The default is 60% and the slider runs from 40% to 80%. Move it before you trust any output.

Almost every vendor calculator implicitly sets this to 100% by not having it at all. That single omission is usually the difference between a payback figure that survives contact with your finance team and one that does not.

What these will not tell you. Error and delay costs are not modelled — the invoice paid twice, the lead that went cold, the contract that auto-renewed unnoticed. In most operations these are larger than the labour saving. They are also specific enough that a generic calculator putting a number on them would be guessing, and a guess dressed as a calculation is exactly what this page objects to.

Using them on your own site

Each tool has a copy-paste embed snippet on its page. If you write for a finance, operations or HR audience, you are welcome to put any of them in a post — no attribution deal, no tracking, no permission needed. Every figure they use is sourced on the page it comes from, so you can check what you are embedding before you embed it.

If you want the underlying numbers rather than the calculators, the pricing index is what vendors actually charge, read off their own pages, and the research section explains the rules it is compiled under.
