Give your engineers their maker time back
Engineering hours are the most expensive ones you buy, and sprint ceremonies spend them on a schedule nobody revisits. Hourari prices every standup, planning and review from your calendar, so you can see which ones still earn their slot.

Ceremonies
The standup that quietly doubled
Standups start small and collect people: a designer, a PM, someone from support. Each addition looks free, and fifteen minutes still sounds short. Priced every weekday for a year, it is not.
Meeting health scores every recurring series for waste and brings it back for review, so the growth gets noticed.

High waste, and flagged for review. The standup is short; it is the twelve people with no agenda that score.
Where the ceremony bill goes
The sample team's five ceremonies come to $158,600 a year. The daily one is the biggest line, because it runs five times as often as anything else.
Quiet days, kept by team
On the Business plan, owners and admins pick weekdays to keep free of internal meetings. Hourari never declines or moves anything; it shows each team's streak and the meetings that broke it. Teams are compared, people never are.
The hidden cost
A one-hour meeting rarely costs one hour
The price Hourari puts on a meeting is the time spent in it. For engineers there is more: a sync in the middle of the morning splits the one block long enough for hard work, and what is left on either side is too short to start anything big.
Hourari can't measure focus, and doesn't try. It makes the meeting's own cost visible, so a sync has to earn the place it takes.

- 30-minute sync10:30 to 11:00

Built so engineers never have to touch it
Nothing to fill in
Connect Google Calendar or Outlook once. Every meeting is priced from who is invited and how long it runs; nobody logs time.
Salaries stay private
Only the owner sees what colleagues earn. Admins and members never see another person’s salary or hourly rate.
Costs can be hidden
Turn meeting costs off for any role. People who cannot see a cost see the meeting and its hours instead.
Every ceremony comes back for review
Recurring series are due for review every 90 days unless the owner changes it. The organizer, an owner or an admin answers.
The weekly bill in Slack
On the Team plan and up, the week’s meeting cost and its five most expensive meetings go to the Slack channel you choose.
Decline without leaving Slack
A decline from Slack is a real one, sent from your own calendar, and the time it gives back counts as a saving.
