The new way to manage meeting costs
Stop the bleed. Price the room.
MeetingCost is a sovereign browser extension that turns every call into a live balance sheet—so your team feels the cost of "just five more minutes" before it hits your runway.
Monthly · $19.99/mo or $15.99/mo crypto (USDT on Tron · USDC on Solana · USDC on Base) · Yearly · $199.99/yr or $159.99/yr crypto (USDT on Tron · USDC on Solana · USDC on Base)
Cancel anytime. Save 20% with crypto.
Works on every major meeting platform
Your calendar is a budget leak.
Traditional SaaS Tools turned collaboration into a subscription buffet: more seats, more "AI add-ons," more middlemen—and meetings became the default way to look busy while burning cash.
- Expensive meetings, invisible math. Salaries keep compounding while nobody sees the meter running.
- Bloated stacks, fragile ROI. You pay for platforms that own your workflow, your data trail, and your renewal calendar.
- Privacy traded for convenience. Central dashboards mean central risk—your transcripts and metadata shouldn't be someone else's product surface.
- Alerts only after the damage. Most tools tell you a meeting was expensive after it's over—not while the clock is still ticking.

Traditional SaaS Tools vs MeetingCost
Same meeting economy. Different rules: local-first control, wholesale AI, and payments without the toll booth.
| Dimension | Traditional SaaS Tools | MeetingCost |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per-seat subscriptions, bundled "suites," and surprise renewals that scale faster than headcount. | One-time license: $19.99 standard, or $15.99 when you pay with stablecoins (USDT on Tron · USDC on Solana · USDC on Base)—no recurring rent on your calendar. |
| Privacy & data | Data lives in vendor clouds by default—aggregation, analytics, and policy changes are outside your control. | Local-first. No centralized server hoard of your meetings. Bring your own API keys (BYOK) for AI summaries so you keep custody of how data moves. |
| Payment sovereignty | Card rails, app stores, and processors—each layer takes a cut and can throttle access on a whim. | Middleman-free crypto checkout built into the extension: pay, verify, unlock—direct relationship between you and the product. |
| Meeting cost visibility | Dashboards after the fact—if you're lucky—buried under notifications and noise. | The Awkward Reality Tracker: a live dollar clock during the call so time-wasting dies from transparency, not nagging. |
| Calendar intelligence | Another integration tax: connect, consent, configure—then maintain permissions as IT policy shifts. | Google Calendar sync with upcoming meeting cost forecasting—see what next week costs before it happens. |
| AI economics | Vendor-marked-up "AI minutes" bundled into plans you didn't ask for. | Optional AI summaries on wholesale infrastructure—AssemblyAI, OpenAI, Deepgram, Google, HuggingFace, Rev.ai—via your keys, your rates. |
| Alerts & integrations | Notifications inside the platform only—another tab to check. | Slack & Teams webhooks: push cost alerts directly to your team channels when a meeting exceeds budget. |
| Reporting | Locked dashboards, vendor-formatted exports, no raw data access. | Export as CSV, PDF, Google Sheets, or JSON. Your data, your format, no hoops. |
Sovereign pay isn't a stunt—it's leverage.
Stablecoins aren't "crypto culture." They're a straight line between buyer and builder—no processor drama, no platform ransom, no "we updated our terms" email at midnight.
When you pay with stablecoins inside MeetingCost, you skip the Middleman Tax: fewer hands in the transaction, fewer failure points, and a license that unlocks instantly on your terms. You're not renting access to your own productivity—you're buying a tool that stays yours.
