What do seven separate tools actually cost you a year?

Wat kosten zeven losse tools je eigenlijk per jaar?

A CRM here, a chatbot there. We worked out what an average SME spends, including the hidden costs.

Most SMEs didn't end up with seven tools overnight. It grew: first a CRM, then a website builder, later a chatbot. Each step made sense, but added together it costs more than you think.

The visible costs

Add up your subscriptions and multiply by the number of users. For a team of five, a CRM, website, chatbot, SEO tool, dashboards and monitoring will quickly take you over a thousand euros a month. [PLACEHOLDER: have amounts validated]

The hidden costs

Every integration that breaks, every export to Excel and every time you have to search three systems costs time. Allow a few hours a week per employee, and the bill doubles.

What one platform changes

When all modules use the same customer data, integrations and duplicate work disappear. You pay one fixed price and know exactly where you stand.
