How we calculated this
In-house cost is the simple product of the engineering hours you allocate per month to building, maintaining, and debugging outbound delivery infrastructure multiplied by your fully-loaded hourly engineer cost (salary, benefits, overhead, and opportunity cost).
Pushrail cost is taken directly from the public plan tiers: Base ($49/mo, up to 3 destinations), Growth ($149/mo, up to 10 destinations), and Scale ($499/mo, up to 25 destinations). Overage charges apply per 1,000 deliveries above plan limits.
Savings are the difference between the two, what you stop paying engineers to build and maintain delivery plumbing, returned as engineering capacity for your actual product.
Numbers are illustrative. Actual costs depend on your destination complexity, retry behavior, observability requirements, and how much of the work you choose to outsource. Run the calculator against your team's actual numbers for the closest estimate.
