ROI calculator

The cost of a platform is decided by the team you will have, not the one you have.

Per-seat pricing looks reasonable on signing day and compounds every time you hire. Set your team size today and in three years to see three years of total cost — arithmetic only, at list prices, no invented conversion lift.

The numbers behind it

the same model as /pricing/

Seven per-seat tools against one flat plan.

This is the model behind the chart on the pricing page, run over three years. Not every tool goes to every person: sales tools are counted for part of the team, marketing tools for another part, as the last column shows.

What this does and does not model

read before quoting it

Cost only. No claimed revenue lift.

Most vendor ROI calculators multiply an invented conversion improvement by your revenue and produce an enormous number. We are not doing that, because we cannot substantiate it and neither can they.

What is counted

Seven tools at published list prices, each with its base fee, included seats and per-seat price, against a flat Marketing Titan plan at list price with unlimited users. Each year uses that year's headcount.

What is not counted

No conversion lift, no revenue increase, no time savings, no founding discount. Also no migration effort and no retraining — both real costs on our side of the ledger.

Where it could be wrong

If you negotiated hard, or run fewer seat-priced tools than the model assumes, the gap narrows. Check the table above against your own invoices.

“Any calculator that multiplies a made-up conversion lift by your revenue will tell you what you want to hear. That is what it was built to do.”

Why this one only counts cost

Method

what is and is not counted
How is this ROI calculation done?

It compares three years of platform cost as a team grows, using the same model as the pricing page. The stack side is seven seat-priced tools at published list prices, each with a base fee, included seats and a per-seat price, applied to the share of the team that would use it. The Marketing Titan side is a flat plan at list price with unlimited users. Each year is priced at that year's headcount. Only cost is modelled.

Why list prices and not founding prices?

The founding discount lasts 12 months and this is a three-year horizon. Discounting the first year would flatter the comparison, so it is left out.

Why does it not include revenue improvement?

Because we cannot substantiate it. Calculators that multiply an assumed conversion lift by your revenue produce impressive numbers that no one can verify. This counts only what you can check against invoices.

What is the biggest driver of the difference?

Headcount growth. Per-seat pricing adds cost every time you hire; a flat plan with unlimited users does not. Over three years with a growing team, that single difference dominates everything else.

Does this include migration cost?

No, and that counts against us. Migration takes two to four weeks of parallel running and some retraining. Neither is in the model.
