CostPulse.ai - Stop Getting Surprise AI API Bills

TL;DR: I built a tool that forecasts your AI API costs before you get the bill. Tracks usage across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral, and alerts you before budget overruns.

The Problem

Ever gotten a $500 unexpected API bill? I have. Three times.

AI APIs are amazing but billing is opaque. You get charged per token, requests pile up, and suddenly you're explaining to your credit card company why there's a charge for "anthropic.com".

The Solution

CostPulse.ai does three things:

1. Usage Tracking - Connect your OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral accounts. See all usage in one dashboard.

2. Cost Forecasting - Algorithms predict your monthly spend based on current velocity. "At this rate, you'll spend $347 this month."

3. Budget Alerts - Set limits. Get notified before you hit them, not after.

How It Works

• Add your API keys (stored securely, encrypted)
• Real-time sync pulls your usage data
• Dashboard shows daily/weekly/monthly trends
• Forecast model predicts end-of-month cost
• Slack/email alerts when you approach limits

Pricing

• Free tier: Track up to $50/month in API spend
• Pro: $19/month for unlimited tracking, forecasts, and alerts

Why I Built This

As someone building multiple AI-powered products, I was tired of:

• Checking 3 different dashboards
• Surprise bills mid-month
• No way to predict costs
• Having to explain unexpected charges
