CostWatch — Real-time API spend alerts before the bill arrives.

The Problem

Startups don't see their API costs breaking down by endpoint, service, or customer until the bill hits—often revealing $20k+ surprises too late. Existing monitoring tools charge per-host and don't isolate API cost attribution. Teams are flying blind.

What We're Building

CostWatch gives you a real-time dashboard showing exactly which endpoints, services, and customers are driving costs. Drop in our lightweight SDK (Python/JS/Go), connect your cloud provider, and get Slack alerts the moment spend spikes 20% above baseline. We do the math so you don't have to.

Who It's For

Founders and engineering leads at seed-to-Series B startups ($1–10M ARR) with $5k–50k/month cloud spend, especially those using AWS, GCP, or multi-vendor stacks.

Key Features (Planned)

  • Real-time cost breakdown by endpoint, service, and customer
  • Lightweight SDK (Python, JavaScript, Go) with zero config overhead
  • Slack alerts when spend spikes 20% above baseline
  • One-click integration with AWS, GCP, and Stripe
  • Cost forecasting and anomaly detection (rule-based, no ML overhead)
  • Historical trends and per-customer profitability dashboards

We're validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, we'd love your feedback:

How much visibility do you actually have into your API costs today—are you surprised by bills, or do you catch overages before they hit?
