No notes from the last conversation, hunting for action items in chat and in your head — it all costs time. Set the sliders to match your reality, and the calculator will show you the yearly cost in hours and money.
Sidekick's Premium plan costs £11.99/mo. (£143.88/yr.). Based on your numbers, that's — less than the yearly cost of messy 1:1s alone — and the app doesn't just save time, it also writes summaries and action items for you.
The calculator multiplies the number of people on your team by the number of 1:1s per month, plus the minutes lost preparing without notes and the minutes lost hunting for earlier agreements afterward. It multiplies the total hours by your hourly rate to show an approximate monthly and yearly cost.
This is a rough estimate, not a financial audit. Real time varies from team to team — the calculator is meant to show the scale of the problem, not an exact number.
The biggest saving comes from having a lasting history of conversations with each employee that you can check before a meeting instead of hunting through notes in several places. Tools like Sidekick automate this by recording the conversation and generating summaries and action items on their own.
Record the conversation — the app writes the summary, the action items, and keeps the history ready for your next 1:1. Free plan forever, no credit card.
