Free to use Bubble Add-on Workload calculator [Google Sheet]

Tips
1

Hey everyone,

As we’ve been scaling Way of Work, we kept running into the same question:
should we buy another Add-on Workload tier or just pay overages for now?

Once you start doing projections, the answer isn’t always obvious, so I put together a simple WU calculator to help with that decision. It starts with the 250k WU Growth plan and compares overages vs upgrading (and downgrading) based on expected usage.

It’s not perfect, but it’s useful for modeling costs as you scale.

How to use it

  • File → Make a copy

  • Plug in your expected monthly WU usage

  • Adjust your current add-on tier

This was created with the help of ChatGPT. Let me know if there’s anything worth improving.

Side note: we’re hiring a senior Bubble developer as we scale, in case anyone here is interested.

Keep building great things!

Did you use a connector in chatGPT or some other method?

When they released the new WU pricing, they also created a tool for that ( An Update to Workload, Plus More Transparent Calculations ) called subscription planner. But they removed it…

Its good to hear that my friend! Best of luck!

Honestly, I just used ChatGPT over the chat interface. It did quite a lot of thinking and then produced an almost working excel file.

I’ve been working on a side project, found your google sheet calculator so thought it would be a good exercise. Thought I’d share the end result:

No wonky only when workflows and nested conditionals. Just an API call with the inputs and a response with the calculations.

Couldnt figure out how you determined the upgrade thresholds based on tiers tho!
