Ecommerce Automation vs Agency Cost Calculator

Compare your current cost with automation

Include only agency work, software, and staff hours the new option would genuinely replace. Do not include work or software that would remain after the switch.

Possible monthly cost reduction

$8,575

The $5,000 setup cost could pay back in about 0.6 months, but only if the new option removes every current cost entered.

Current cost each month
$9,375
Staff time included in current cost
$2,475
Possible cost reduction each year
$102,900

Decide whether the switch deserves a closer test.

What the result shows

The possible monthly cost difference and how long the one-off setup cost could take to recover if the entered work is actually replaced.

How it is calculated

Add agency retainers, current software, and the staff cost of manual reporting. Subtract the proposed monthly automation cost.

How to use it

Use the payback period to decide whether a controlled trial is worthwhile. Check output quality, oversight, transition risk, and the work that still needs a person.

What this result leaves out

This compares cost only. It does not value expertise, service quality, revenue impact, risk, or the time needed to switch. It is not a recommendation to replace a person or agency.
