BurnRate: Meeting Cost Timer

Your next meeting has a price tag. BurnRate shows it ticking up in real time — second by second. No subscriptions, no ads, no tracking. Pay $1.99 once.

How much is this meeting costing? Now you know — in real time, dollar by dollar, second by second.

BurnRate puts a price tag on every meeting. Enter the number of people and their average hourly rate. Tap start. Watch the money burn. The big green number ticking up every second is the most uncomfortable — and useful — thing you'll see in a conference room.

No subscriptions. No ads. No account. Pay once, cringe forever.

WHY BURNRATE?

Before the meeting starts, see what it will cost — 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours. That "quick sync" with 8 people at $95/hr? That's $760/hour. Still want to have it?

During the meeting, watch the cost climb in real time. When someone joins late, adjust the count. When the meeting runs over, everyone sees exactly what that extra 15 minutes cost.

After the meeting, share a clean cost card to Slack, Teams, LinkedIn, or Twitter. Nothing drives shorter meetings like posting "$4,200 all-hands" in the team channel.
