For comparison

Three years, 25 people

Separate tools for planning, time tracking and leave cost a 25-person studio about €3,000 to €5,000 a year, growing with every hire. SAM: the licence plus Cloudflare's $5 a month.

Based on the yearly bills of a 25-person studio for popular resource planning, time tracking and HR tools, checked against list prices in November 2026, converted roughly to euros. Your setup time is not counted on either side.

FAQ

About the licence

What does "as delivered" mean?

You get SAM as it is on the day of delivery, with setup support until it runs. There are no updates after that.

What if something breaks later?

SAM is pinned to the Cloudflare platform version it was built for, so it keeps running. To fix or change something, use the code, the docs and an AI coding agent, or book us at €90 per hour.

What do we need?
  • A Cloudflare account with your domain on it
  • Admin access to your sign-in provider
  • Cloudflare Zero Trust for the Vault (free tier)
  • Optional: a Resend account for email, a private GitHub repository for backups
Can we bring our data?

Yes. People, hours and leave import from CSV or Excel, with a template per file and a preview before anything is saved.

What about GDPR?

Your studio is the controller and the data sits in your own accounts, in the EU if you choose. Personal data and salaries sit encrypted in the Vault, every read logged. One action erases what SAM keeps about a person.

Can one installation serve several studios?

No. One installation serves one studio.

Why not build this ourselves?

You can, and with AI coding it is easier than ever. SAM gives you a head start: it grew over many months of daily use in a working game studio, went through many rounds of changes, and handles the cases you only meet in practice. You start from that and customise it, instead of starting from an empty repository.

Do we need a paid Cloudflare plan?

For trying SAM out, the free plan is enough. For daily use we recommend Workers Paid at $5 a month for the whole account, however many people use SAM. The free plan allows only 10 ms of processing per request, and heavier work such as everyone's leave balances, a year of reports or the nightly backup can go past that and fail now and then. Workers Paid allows far more and includes 10 million requests a month, which a studio of a few hundred people will not reach. The databases, file storage and Vault access stay within Cloudflare's free allowances for a studio of this size. R2 file storage asks for a payment method even on the free plan.
