Ownership cost calculator

The hardware price is only the first line.

Compare candidates using the same recording volume and billing preference. Calculations use published list prices, complete billing periods, and no tax, promotion, or currency conversion.

Required AI features

A candidate is excluded when its published plan does not document a selected feature.

Costs are only compared within the listed market and currency.

Used once, and only when a selected plan documents rollover and its validity window.

Candidate products

Select one or more candidates. Results show the first year and the cumulative cost for your selected ownership period.

Method and limits

Monthly need is weekly minutes × 52 ÷ 12, or the monthly value entered directly. A plan qualifies only when its published monthly allowance covers that need. Monthly and annual fees are charged in complete billing periods; annual prices are never divided into a fictional month-to-month payment.

Amounts remain in the product's published currency. Tax, temporary promotions, exchange rates, and unlisted plan features are excluded. Required accessories, valid rollover, per-minute overage, and minute packs are included only when a current official source documents them. Data older than 30 days is marked for recheck; after 90 days the result is shown as an estimate only, not a plan recommendation.

Worked example: 120 minutes per week becomes 120 × 52 ÷ 12 = 520 minutes per month. A 300-minute plan without documented overage does not qualify; a 600-minute plan does. The result then adds complete billing periods and any documented required accessory to the regular hardware price. Currency is calculated in minor units and rounded only when variable usage requires it.
