A $15 monthly seat for one person pays for itself if it saves about 37 minutes a month, when that time is valued at the median US wage for all occupations.

What it measures: Uses the listed monthly price of the Pro plan, not an annual rate, so the break-even is the higher of the two. Uses 2,080 paid hours a year, which is 40 hours for 52 weeks.
How it is calculated: $15 / ($50,980 / 2,080 paid hours) = $15 / $24.51 per hour = 0.61 hours, or about 37 minutes
What it does not show: Time valued at a wage, not cash. It becomes money only if the saved minutes are billed, or let you avoid overtime or a hire. A writer paid above the median reaches break-even in fewer minutes.
