Better planned meetings
A clearer purpose, a better agenda and the right participants.

Why MeetingCost?
We measure almost every business expense. Except one of the largest: our shared time.
Businesses closely monitor purchases, travel, premises, subscriptions and investments. But when eight colleagues spend an hour in a meeting room, few consider the combined cost. The meeting appears on the calendar, while its cost remains invisible. MeetingCost makes it visible.
A concrete example
What does a meeting really cost?
Eight participants at an estimated personnel cost of SEK 650 per person per hour mean an estimated meeting cost of SEK 5,200 for one hour. If the same one-hour meeting takes place once a week for 45 working weeks, its estimated annual cost is SEK 234,000 (5,200 × 45). This is not necessarily wasted money, but it is an investment that should generate equal or greater value.

Illustrative estimate, not a measure of meeting value.The problem is not that we have meetings
Meetings are necessary for collaboration, decisions and business development. Problems arise when meetings lack a clear purpose, include more people than necessary, run on too long or revisit the same issues without reaching decisions. Without cost visibility, it is easy to underestimate the resources involved.
What changes when the cost becomes visible?
More effective meetings
Greater focus on discussion, priorities and decisions.
Better follow-up
Pro helps track costs and identify patterns over time.
A more mindful meeting culture
More respect for your own time and that of colleagues.
The goal is not fewer meetings at any cost
A meeting costing SEK 20,000 may be an excellent investment if it produces an important decision, a new customer agreement or a solution to an expensive problem. A SEK 1,000 meeting may be unnecessary if it has no purpose or result. The question is not only what a meeting costs, but what value it creates. MeetingCost provides the insight; what you do with it drives change.
Meetings cost. Make them count.
