💰 Cost Per Use Calculator

• Under $1 per use: Excellent value. You're getting strong ROI from your investment.
• $1-2 per use: Good value. Similar to many wellness products and therapies.
• $2-3 per use: Acceptable for premium models with advanced features.
• Over $3 per use: Consider increasing usage frequency or choosing a more affordable model.

Context: A single professional massage costs $60-120. Even at $3 per use, you save dramatically compared to professional therapy.

Frequency dramatically impacts cost per use:

• Daily Use (7x/week): $150 gun = $0.49/use over 2 years. Excellent value.
• 3x per Week: $150 gun = $1.15/use over 2 years. Good value.
• Weekly Use: $150 gun = $2.88/use over 2 years. Still beats professional massage.

Tip: If you're paying for professional massage monthly, even infrequent home use provides strong ROI.

Value depends on both price and lifespan:

• Budget ($50-80):
  • 1-2 year lifespan typical
  • Cost per use: $0.50-1.50 (3x/week)

• Premium ($250-400):

• Carrying Case: $20-40 if not included. Essential for travel or gym use.
• Warranty Extensions: Some brands offer extended warranties for $20-50.

Budget Tip: Premium models often include more attachments and better cases, reducing additional purchases.
