By upgrading and developing our products, we always strive to assist you in achieving your business targets.
On this occasion, we’re glad to announce, that we completely remastered our Cost Calculator and added even more functionality for your ease of use. Our aspirational goal is to transform the way our users develop cost calculators, making it easier for you to be more reliable and efficient with your time.
Our team worked hard to ensure that your transition to Cost Calculator 3.0 will go as secure as possible. But at the same time, we’re keenly aware that every software update means an inevitable period with a few rough edges. And so, with thought for you, we’ve developed a “magic” toggle that will help you roll back to version 2.0 at any time, with no effort at all. The fantastic thing about it is that there’s no need for prior backups, no need to duplicate sites, and no need to waste your precious time.
The 2.0 will be supported until September 2022, and we hope that you will test out the new version of the Calculator and leave your feedback, thus making an invaluable contribution to the development of your favorite product.
Here are the highlights we made for you:
