@ffumarola Well, this is a different topic but I think both traction and employees aren't good measures of success -- they're at best a proxy for likelihood of success. But even then, I don't think "seeing more success" is where the value and pricing of tools are derived from.
I'm thinking more like: if you have a team of 10, and each of them are paid $100/hour, a daily meeting for 15 minutes cost your company $250 a day or $5,000/month (assuming 20 business days/month). If a tool helps you reduce the time that "meeting" takes by say, 10 minutes, it justifies purchasing that tool for $40/month for saving you $3000/month.
