Break-even

When the next plan becomes cheaper. Sample data: cost of the current plan (Scale) and Enterprise across 0.6M to 2.2M runs, break-even at 1.6M.

Plan cost against volumeMonthly cost by runs per month: the scale plan costs $1,200 up to 1M runs and rises to $3,000 at 1.9M; enterprise is a flat $2,400 and breaks even at 1.6M runs. October: 0.96M runs, $1,200; November forecast: 1.04M, $1,280.$1K$2K$3K0.6M1M1.4M1.8M2.2MENTERPRISE $2,400SCALEBREAK-EVEN 1.6MOCT $1,200NOV $1,280CURRENT PLANNEXT PLANNEXT MONTH

Break-even chart: a React and Figma chart in four sizes

What does a break-even chart show?

A break-even chart draws the cost of two plans against usage and marks where they cross, with the current and next month placed on it. Use it for plan upgrades, pricing pages and build-or-buy choices.

Chartory ships it as a Figma component and a React component with the same name. The code installs from the shadcn registry with one command and lands in your project as a file you own.

What is the Break-even component?

It is one <BreakEven> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is cost per plan across usage.

Sizes XS, S, M and L re-lay the chart out from the data instead of scaling it, so labels stay readable at every size.

When should I use it?

  • Are two costs compared? Yes means the break-even fits.
  • Is usage on the axis? Yes means the break-even fits.
  • Is there a crossing point? Yes means the break-even fits.

When does another type fit better?

  • Usage against limits. Use Limit tracks instead.
  • Spend over the month. Use Budget runway instead.
  • Bills split by part. Use Invoice split instead.

Break-even questions

Installing, data, Figma and plans.

  • Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
