AI delivery ROI calculator
Drag three sliders to match your team. Every number shows its work, including what Stride costs you. Conservative by construction.
About this calculator
This is a marketing-leaning tool. We are showing you the consolidation math for our own product, and every slider is yours to control. The license figure ($130 per user per year for each redundant tool replaced) is anchored to vendor-verified per-seat prices for the typical 7-tool stack, which runs about $75 per seat per month. The time figure is an assumption, stated plainly: 0.35 hours per person per week per redundant tool, with only half of reclaimed time counted as realized value. Expand "How we calculate this" inside the calculator for every constant in the model.
Per-seat prices for the replaced tools are cited on our comparison section with vendor pricing-page sources and verification dates. For more on how we think about ROI claims in general, read the honest ROI math post.

How we calculate this
- $246 per user per year in license spend for each redundant tool replaced (your stack keeps one).
- 0.35 hours per person per week saved per redundant tool, about 2 hours at 7 tools, from fewer context switches and less retyping between systems.
- Time valued at your hourly rate over 46 working weeks, and only 50% of reclaimed time is counted as realized value.
- Stride Pro at $39 per seat per month, billed for every engineer.
- These are estimates, not a quote. Your numbers depend on your stack.
A 25-person team replacing 7 tools nets an estimated $115,763/year after Stride's cost
Get startedHow to think about the inputs
- Team size: Savings scale linearly with seats because both the dropped license fees and Stride's own cost are per-seat. The ROI multiple stays roughly constant for given inputs; the dollar figure grows with the team.
- Current tools: Count everything the team pays for in the delivery loop: planning, docs, diagrams, test management, process tracking. Use invoices rather than memory so every paid tool is included. The model keeps one tool, so 7 tools means 6 replaced.
- Fully loaded hourly cost: Salary divided by 2080 understates it. Add benefits (typically 25-35% of base) and overhead (real estate, tooling, ops support: another 15-25%). US mid-market averages $100-$150 per hour for senior engineers; the slider default of $75 is deliberately conservative.
- What we do not count: No claimed gains from AI features, faster onboarding, or fewer meetings. The model prices exactly two things, dropped licenses and reduced context switching, and then counts only half of the reclaimed time as realized value.
See where the time goes
Stride starts at $15/seat/month for Starter, $39/seat/month for Pro (all four modules + 1,000 AI credits per seat). The calculator above derives a payback window from your team size, current tool costs, and reclaimed time; use that result rather than a generic customer average.
