Tip Microsoft Teams call cost analyzer/tracker

Hey all!
I've recently been working on a cost tracker for Microsoft Teams. Its something that I've thought would be beneficial for a lot of people and I couldn't seem to find a tool that was easy enough to use and/or that larger companies would want to mess around with managing/setting up.

I've built TeamSpend to tackle that issue. As far as setup goes its as easy as signing in with an admin account of your Microsoft tenant and then TeamSpend can retrieve and collate all Microsoft Teams call data and display it in an easy to read format.

I'm a solo dev on this project so things are somewhat slower moving - but I wanted to post about this early to see if there was any interest in it as I have sunk years into a project before trying to perfect everything before showing anyone and it was a flop.

So while this is still very much in beta - its free to use right now, and there is a demo page so you can check it out without any sort of a sign-in/sign-up.

Please if you have the time to check it out and give some tips/feature requests that would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to DM me with any.

To give it a shot please check out https://www.team-spend.com

*again just to reiterate - very early on so you may encounter bugs. I would really appreciate it if you let me know if any issues you run into!

I can't fathom paying $1/min. are those accurate prices?

So the numbers showing up there in the second picture are the cost for that person being on the call for that amount of time. In future users will be able to add salary range per job title for accurate views but right now the hourly salaries are determined via a request to an AI and then saved to a database to maintain accuracy between requests.

So for example - if you have a user who's job title is a Backend Engineer and the AI determines that they on average earn $60/hour (in AUD) and then if they are on a call for 10 minutes it will say - "x user was on the call for 10 minutes which effectively cost the business $6 for their time"

Everything that you see in the pictures will cost YOU as the user $0 at this point in time
