What about when there is a $100/month tool that makes your engineer 90% as productive as they were on the $1000/mo tool?
What if that tool is something you can run on prem, and over time make the investment back?
It's not so simple.
If your company is making $1 mil per employee per year, then 10% is 100k. Even at 500k employee or lesseer numbers it's almost always better to buy the $1000/month tool (break even is a measly $108k revenue per employee per year)
