Cost Trends PRO
Visual charts showing how your meeting costs have changed over time — by week, month, and meeting type. Spot patterns, identify expensive periods, and see the impact of any changes you make to meeting habits.
Monthly Cost Chart
A bar chart showing total meeting cost per month for the past 12 months. Each bar represents the sum of all meeting costs in that calendar month. Hover over a bar to see the exact amount, meeting count, and average cost for that month.
Use this chart to answer questions like:
- Is my meeting cost trending up or down over the past year?
- Which months had abnormally high meeting costs?
- Did cost drop after I changed my meeting habits in a particular month?
Weekly Trend
A line chart showing meeting cost per week over the past 12 weeks. The weekly view is better for spotting short-term patterns — a recurring expensive week, a quiet period, or the effect of a team policy change.
Cost by Meeting Type
A breakdown of total cost split by meeting type (standup, planning, client call, retrospective, etc.) for the selected date range. This section only populates if you've been setting the Meeting Type field in Settings → Meeting Context.
This breakdown helps identify which meeting categories consume the most budget — often the answer is surprising. Client calls may cost far more than internal standups even at lower frequency, simply because of participant count and duration.
Calendar Forecast
Below the historical charts, a forward-looking calendar shows upcoming meetings from your connected Google or Outlook calendar with projected costs. Each event shows the expected cost based on the participants and duration in the calendar invite.
This requires a connected calendar. See Calendar for setup instructions.
Date Range Filter
Use the date range selector at the top of the Cost Trends panel to filter all charts to a specific period — this month, last month, last 3 months, last 12 months, or a custom range. The filter applies to all charts and the cost-by-type breakdown simultaneously.
Yearly Budget Progress
If you've set a yearly budget in the Overview panel, Cost Trends also shows a budget progress indicator — total spent vs. budget remaining, plus the projected year-end figure if current trends continue.
