Cost modeling
Vendor consolidation savings calculator
Short answer
Replace N point tools with one platform. Enter what you spend on the point tools plus the platform's price, and see annual savings, consolidation ratio, and per-tool savings.
When this calculator helps
- Evaluating a platform play (e.g. Monday vs Asana + Toggl + Loom + Calendly).
- Building a budget reduction case for finance.
- Annual stack audit and cleanup.
When to look elsewhere
- When point tools serve different teams with different workflows, feature overlap doesn't equal substitution.
- When the consolidated tool requires expensive migration or retraining that erodes year-1 savings.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are consolidation savings on paper?
Year-1 savings tend to be 60-70% of the modeled number once you account for migration, integration rebuilds, and the inevitable point-tool that survives the cut. By year 2 the model usually holds.
What about the team's preferred tool that 'must stay'?
Always model two scenarios, full consolidation and consolidation-minus-favorite. The second one is what actually ships.
