Where the biggest savings are

Every replacement path in the catalog, ranked by what it saves in the first year after setup and upkeep. Filter by category or by how you replace the tool.

Modeled, not measured. Savings use public prices and planning assumptions: the bill you stop paying, minus the new tool, your upkeep time and your setup time at $50/hour, over the first 12 months. No verified migrations yet. Check the must-haves in each recipe before you switch.
