Field notes
The calculator lets visitors select paid plans and compares their annual cost with linked alternatives; its assumptions specify annual rates, exclude tax, and warn that migration, hardware, storage, or optional services can change the result. The page says its prices were checked October 22, 2026, and excludes Fantastical because regional checkout prices vary. Quiet Machines also presents Wisp and Perch as early-access Mac products, so the guide sits alongside the studio’s own software.
