I Built AICostPass Because I Was Tired of Guessing My AI API Costs

While building with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI providers, I realized something surprising.

I monitored my servers, databases, and application performanceโ€”but I had almost no visibility into my AI API spending until I checked the provider dashboard or received the monthly invoice.

That led me to build AICostPass.

It helps developers, indie hackers, startups, and agencies:

  • โšก Track AI API costs in near real time
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Monitor spending by project or client
  • ๐Ÿšจ Get budget threshold email alerts
  • ๐Ÿ“ง Receive weekly spending summaries
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Export billable CSVs for client invoicing

The goal is simple: help developers understand and control AI costs before the invoice arrives.

I'd love to hear how you're currently tracking AI API costs. Are you using provider dashboards, spreadsheets, or another tool?
