What does this calculator measure?

The all-in cost of ownership of your current stack: every tool subscription (seat price × seats, per tool) plus a modelled cost of context switching between those tools, broken down to a cost per person per month and an annual total — then contrasted with one consolidated Planoda seat.

How is the context-switching cost estimated?

It's a modelled estimate, not a measured figure: people × hours lost per person per week × 48 working weeks × your loaded hourly rate. Switching tools, re-finding context, and reconciling duplicated data carries a real time cost; this surfaces it honestly so you can judge the assumption yourself.

How does Planoda compare?

Planoda folds the tracker, board, docs, and AI into one schema and one login at $10/seat/month, so the stack of subscriptions — and most of the context switching between them — collapses into a single bill. The comparison uses the public Pro seat price.
