This assumes the selected plan replaces every software subscription and coordination hour you entered. Treat it as a scenario to review, not a savings forecast.
Coordination time is calculated at 12 hrs/week × 4.33 weeks × $30/hr. Connected Spaces first-year cost is 12 monthly plan payments plus the selected plan's one-time Architecture Kickoff fee. AI-platform and phone usage, taxes, and any third-party services you keep are excluded. Actual costs and outcomes vary.
What this comparison does—and does not—show
Use the result to start a budget conversation, not as a guaranteed savings forecast.
This calculator creates a directional scenario from the numbers you enter. It multiplies your tool count by your average monthly software cost, assigns a cost to the coordination time you enter, and compares that first-year total with 12 monthly Connected Spaces plan payments plus the published one-time Architecture Kickoff fee. It does not predict savings or returns.
Use manager time for work caused by disconnected tools, such as pulling separate reports, re-entering data, chasing updates, or coordinating the same work across systems. Enter only hours you can support from your own operation. The calculator assigns those hours a cost for comparison; it does not assume every hour will disappear.
The Connected Spaces scenario excludes AI-platform and phone usage, ad spend, separately paid supplier or production costs, taxes, and third-party software or retained services you keep. It compares only plan payments plus kickoff against the software and coordination costs you enter. Review what your selected plan actually replaces before making a budget decision.
