Estimate the time an AI workforce could save your team.
Put in your own numbers. The calculator estimates the hours of repetitive work Cicada's agents could take on each month, what that time is worth and how it compares with the plan that fits your team. No sign-up.

An estimate from your numbers, not a promise of savings. The plan's credits cover the work; heavy use may need a credit pack.
How the estimate works
Plain arithmetic on the numbers you enter. Nothing else goes into it: no benchmarks, no averages from other companies.
Hours released a month
Team size 脳 hours of repetitive work per person a week 脳 the share an AI workforce could take on 脳 4.33, the average number of weeks in a month (52 梅 12).
Value of that time
Hours released a month 脳 the average hourly cost. A year is the monthly figure 脳 12.
The plan that fits
The smallest plan that takes your team: Starter just you, Growth up to 10 people, Business no limit on people. No plan charges per person; Enterprise is for anything bigger or more custom.
Value against the price
The monthly value of the time 梅 the plan's monthly price. Above 1, the time is worth more than the plan costs; below 1, less.
What it assumes, and what it leaves out
It's an estimate, not a promise of savings. What you actually get back depends on your work, your apps and how you use Cicada.
- The starting values (5 people, 5 hours a week, $40 an hour, 20%) are only a place to begin, not a benchmark. Change them to match your team.
- The share is your judgement. Think about the updates, follow-ups, data entry and reports that could be handed off, and leave out the work that needs a person.
- The hourly cost is what an hour of someone's time costs you. Use the same figure you would for any other time saved.
- It leaves out the time you spend setting agents up and checking their work, and anything they do that you wouldn't have done at all.
- Credits cover the work your agents do: a quick reply is about 5 credits, a typical run under 20 and a long job up to about 100. Heavy use may need a credit pack, from $25 for 200.
