§ 3.1.10 ROI math

Cost: $53/bulan = Rp 800rb Time saving vs manual: 20-30 jam/bulan Time value (kalau Anda charge Rp 100rb/jam): Rp 2-3 juta saved Net benefit: Rp 1.2-2.2 juta/bulan

Untuk founder bootstrap, ini = funding 1 more month dari runway extension via time arbitrage.

• Customer relationship management (Notion bisa, atau Airtable)
• Paid ads management (Meta Ads Manager free)
• Video editing (CapCut free atau Descript paid $24)

Bundle bisa scale up: tambah Brevo (~$39) untuk email + Descript ($24) untuk video = total ~$116/bulan.

Notion         FREE
ChatGPT free  FREE (limited)
Canva Free    FREE
Buffer Free   FREE

─────────────────────
TOTAL         $0/bulan

Tradeoff:

• ChatGPT free vs Claude Pro: lower quality output, more iteration
• Canva Free vs Pro: no Brand kit, no Magic Resize, longer per-piece time

Worth upgrade ke Pro tier kalau Anda produce >3 piece/minggu.
