What is Time for Price?
A browser extension to see prices in hours, not dollars. Convert prices into working hours. Make smart spending decisions. See the true cost of your purchases. Experience a smarter way to value your time.
Problem
Users struggle to see the true cost of their purchases in terms of time worked, leading to impulsive or misaligned spending decisions. Traditional price displays in dollars don’t contextualize expenses relative to individual earnings, making it hard to evaluate value-for-time.
Solution
A browser extension that converts prices into working hours based on the user’s hourly wage. Users can instantly see how many hours of work a product or service costs, enabling informed spending choices. Example: A $60 video game displays as '3 hours' for someone earning $20/hour.

Unique Features
