Decision tool
TCO calculator.
Project 1-, 3-, and 5-year cost of ownership across vendors based on your current MAU and growth rate. Pricing is sourced from each vendor's public tiers; bands above 1M MAU extrapolate linearly.
Inputs
Vendors to compare (5/5)
Projected total cost of ownership
Estimates assume linear pricing within bands and constant feature mix. "Quote" means the vendor publishes no list price at that band, so Compass gives no estimate; any total that includes a quoted year also reads "Quote". Quote-only vendors sort last.
