Evaluating the cost-benefit of a **lowcode** tool goes beyond the monthly price: it includes how much technical time is saved with **no-code**, and whether the plan charges by feature or by user. In **Jestor**, there are **unlimited-user plans**, which changes the math as the company grows.

## Why the listed price doesn't always reflect the real cost?

A tool that's cheaper on paper can end up costing more in practice if it requires constant technical time to maintain, or if it charges per user at a company that's growing fast.

## What to consider beyond the monthly price?

- How much technical time the tool saves day to day
- Whether the billing model is per user or per account, and how that scales
- Whether essential features are locked behind more expensive plans
- Whether switching tools later would be costly

## How to calculate cost-benefit in practice?

Comparing not just the price, but what each billing model means as the company grows, helps you decide better.

| Factor               | Question to ask                    | Impact on real cost                      |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Billing model        | Is it per user or per account?     | Changes the cost as the team grows       |
| Technical time saved | How much of the setup is no-code?  | Reduces the indirect cost of maintenance |
| Included features    | What's left out of the basic plan? | Avoids a surprise extra cost later       |

## Why choose Jestor?

- There's an unlimited-user plan option, which simplifies the math as the team grows
- No-code setup reduces the indirect cost of keeping the tool running
- Build Apps avoids the need to buy additional tools to cover gaps

### Does technical maintenance cost factor into this?

Yes, it's a relevant factor, since no-code tools tend to reduce that indirect cost.
