Your utility bill is telling you something.
Most owners just aren't hearing it.
CycleCost continuously monitors your store data to flag exactly what's draining your cash—a machine running longer than it should, a water leak, or cash revenue that doesn't match your usage. No new hardware. No new systems to learn. Just the numbers you already have.
Early Access Discount
20% offSecure 20% off for life. Valid for the first 30 laundromats to join the pilot program.
Utilities are your #1 variable expense—eating 20% to 40% of your gross revenue.
For most laundromat owners, utility bills just show up. You pay them, write them off as an operating expense, and move on. There's no easy way to know if a $3,000 water bill is normal, if a city rate hike kicked in, or if a stuck valve is secretly wasting 20,000 gallons of water in the background.
By the time a high bill makes a problem obvious, you've already paid for weeks or months of hidden waste.

Is it higher store volume? A city rate hike? Or a recurring water leak?
Stop finding problems on the bill. Catch them before the next one arrives.
What CycleCost Actually Catches
Because CycleCost continuously tracks your operational baseline, it catches subtle issues human eyes miss until it's too late:
🧺 Exact Cost-Per-Load Unit Economics
Know down to the cent what every machine costs to run (eg. $0.63 for front-load washes, $1.28 for 40 lb hardmounts, $0.30 per dryer start).
🛠️ Hidden Machine Inefficiencies
Catches airflow or makeup air restrictions on dryers that starve combustion, forcing customers to buy extra cycles while burning excess gas per load.
🚨 Rate Hikes vs. Real Leaks
Automatically distinguishes between a 7% municipal sewer rate hike and an actual store leak—saving you from false alarms while protecting you from $1,000+ runaway water bills.
💵 Cash & Coin Volume Verification
Cross-references total gallon consumption against digital washer cycles to give you direct visibility into unmonitored coin-box volume.
How CycleCost Works
CycleCost connects the data you already have—payment emails, monthly utility bills, and your floor plan layout—and reconciles them automatically into simple profit and leak insights.
- Complete a 3-Minute Floor Setup (One-Time). Map your store in minutes by selecting your washers and dryers from simple capacity dropdowns during onboarding.
- Auto-Forward Payment Reports & Upload Utility Bills. Set your payment system (Laundroworks, Payrange, CCI, Kiosoft) to auto-email daily or monthly transaction summaries directly to your app, and drop in your monthly water, gas, and electric bills as they arrive.
- Receive Plain-English Monthly Reports. Every month, receive a clear PDF report detailing your exact net margin per machine swipe, city rate hike breakdowns, and instant efficiency alerts. No complex software or dashboards to learn.
Why CycleCost, Not Something Else?
Every other answer to high utility bills in this industry is "buy $100,000 in new machines" from an equipment vendor. This isn't that.
- Zero Hardware Costs: Works with the machines, payment dongles, and card readers you already have.
- 5-Minute Setup: Select your floor layout from simple machine dropdowns during onboarding.
- Fast ROI: Catching a single leaking toilet valve or fixing one restricted dryer vent pays for at least a month of CycleCost.
Built with real owners, not guesses
This came out of actual conversations with laundromat owners about how they currently track (or don't track) utility costs — what they check by hand, what catches them off guard, what they wish they knew sooner.
It's shaped by that, not a spreadsheet exercise.
