Web & Desktop App

Web & Desktop App

The CostPad simulator — dashboards, panels, and how the app's features fit together.

The CostPad app (web and desktop) is a visual pricing simulator. You build a dashboard out of panels — one card per view of your model — and arrange them however you like. Every panel updates the moment you change a number.

Your product Dashboard Dashboard Panels · key metrics · COGS · tiers · growth …
  • Panels — the panels you can add, and how to arrange them.
  • Dashboards & features — multiple dashboards, templates, and live recalculation.

Web vs. desktop

Both run the identical simulator and store your model locally. The desktop app adds a native shell and a built-in local MCP bridge so an AI assistant can work on your live model; the web app runs the same thing in your browser.

Core concepts

COGS types, tiers and user mix, blended economics, growth, dashboards, and where your data lives.
