Worksheet

# The buy-versus-build worksheet

The ten lines of what one seller in seat costs a month, as a spreadsheet you can put your own numbers into and take to whoever signs off.

For: A founder deciding between a first sales hire and something else.

## What is in it

- Every line item from the calculator on /roi, with our default and a column for yours
- Which lines have a published source behind them and which are assumptions
- The sources themselves, so somebody can check them rather than trust us
- A total row, and the same total against a year of the Founder plan

**The trade, stated.** You get the file immediately in your browser, and a copy by email. We will write to you about the product, and you can stop that from any of those emails.

Nothing you need in order to trust us is behind this or any other gate: the [docs](https://salesascode.com/docs), the [price](https://salesascode.com/pricing), the [security answers](https://salesascode.com/trust#questionnaire) and the [status page](https://salesascode.com/status) are open and will stay that way.
