Small software. Expensive meetings first.

I build polished apps for problems that make me think, “There has to be a better way.” MeetingWorth is the first: a private iPhone app that makes the true cost of meetings impossible to ignore.

Built in Colorado. No growth hacks, no data harvesting, no unnecessary account.

A MeetingWorth preview

Meetings get expensive fast.

Move the controls. The estimate uses MeetingWorth's default 43% real-employee-cost factor, spread across 2,080 work hours.

Still want the meeting?
Good. Sometimes they're worth every penny. MeetingWorth just makes the cost visible.

The meeting isn't 60 minutes.

Eight people in a one-hour meeting is eight hours of payroll. Add prep, follow-up and recurrence, and a harmless calendar block can become a five-figure annual expense.

The first app

MeetingWorth turns calendar time into a decision.

Estimate before you schedule, watch the cost move in real time, and test simple ways to save—without uploading a salary or meeting name.

Estimate + Live Timer

Know before. Watch live.

Build an estimate with people or roles, duration, recurrence and prep time. When the meeting starts, a live timer calculates cost as it happens.

Explore Savings

Find the easy savings.

Compare shorter meetings, fewer attendees and different recurrence patterns. The goal isn't to cancel every meeting. It's to know which ones earn their place.

Private by design

Share the number. Keep salaries private.

Team Cost Cards show the meeting name, attendee count, duration, aggregate per-meeting cost and, for recurring meetings, aggregate annual cost—never individual compensation.
