What we learned after shipping tokenusage.site publicly

Shipping tokenusage.site in public taught us a few useful lessons fast.

1) Token visibility is a product feature, not just a finance concern

Teams make better roadmap decisions when they can see usage behavior clearly.

2) Cost regressions usually come from small changes

Prompt growth, longer context, and hidden model defaults create quiet cost creep.

3) Cross-functional visibility matters

When product + engineering + ops see the same token data, decisions get faster and better.

We’re still early, but the response has been strong from builders who were flying blind on usage.

If that’s you too, would love feedback:
