What this assumes

Where every number comes from.

Your numbers, not ours
Roles, your monthly software bill, and the value of an hour are all yours to type. Nothing about your stack is guessed, and no competitor's price appears anywhere on this page.
One borrowed figure
17.7 hours of manual admin per vacancy, from Totaljobs' 2025 UK recruiter research. It's the only number here we didn't get from you, and the slider lets you hand Sauna as little of it as you like.
Your ATS isn't in the bill
The software you'd drop never includes your system of record. Sauna reads it and writes back to it, so the ATS line stays on your invoice either way.
A model, not a measurement
It multiplies out what you told it. Treat the total as the shape of the answer worth checking on one real role, not a forecast.

The fastest way to check the model is to run it. Start on the $29 plan, point Sauna at one open role, and read what comes back before your next renewal.
