24 alternatives to AI Costboard
Hi HN, I just launched AI Cost Board, a small project I built to make multi-provider AI usage easier to operate in production. It gives you a unified dashboard for: total spend token usage request volume latency and error rates What it enables: one proxy layer for multiple providers request logs for debugging and visibility budgets + alerts for cost control workspace/project structure for teams pricing + subscription flow for Free/Pro plans The goal is simple: make AI costs and performance observable in real time, without stitching together multiple tools. I’d really appreciate…

Hi! My OpenAI costs started going up recently and I hated how I couldn't figure out which model was costing me more? The OpenAI usage page (https://platform.openai.com/account/usage) gives a nice overall breakdown, but it doesn't go into detail about cost / model, token usage, and # requests. So I reverse engineered their API to make a better dashboard, and then made it free to use. Try it out and let me know what you think. Also please tell me what other features you wish existed here https://platform.openai.com/account/usage but doesn't yet.

AICosts.ai▲12Hey HN, I'm a solo SWE building AICosts.ai after working on multiple projects where managing AI costs became a nightmare across multiple clients. Between OpenAI, Claude, Blotato, ElevenLabs, n8n workflows, Make workflows, and dozens of other AI tools, I was spending hours each month just figuring out what I was actually spending and on what. So basically I built AICosts.ai to solve this: one location for me to track my entire AI stack (GPT, Claude, Gemini, automation tools like Zapier/Make/n8n)in one place. It helps me compare costs across providers, set billing alerts, and track…

Hello Folks, I am an indie developer, For the last 5 months I was freelancing by building GPT-powered chatbots. One of the challenges I faced was not having visibility into my OpenAI costs. This is why I have built a dashboard to get a complete breakdown of my OpenAI API usage through network calls from OpenAI. Please give it a try & help with feedback on how I can further improve the product,which can really add value and save some money. Note: 1)I found this API through the network logs of the billing screen. 2)The tool stores the OpenAI Key locally on the browser.

Orbit AI▲9Hi HN, I built Orbit to solve a visibility gap in AI cost management. Provider dashboards show aggregate API spend, but don't answer which product feature is driving it. When your bill spikes, you're left guessing whether it's the chatbot, document processor, or an agent workflow running inefficiently. Orbit attributes every LLM call to a specific feature, task, or customer. You wrap your existing AI client with our SDK, tag calls with metadata, and get real-time dashboards showing cost, latency, and error rates broken down by feature. Key capabilities: Per-feature cost and performance…

Hey HN! Built this after watching engineering teams repeatedly get surprised by AI API invoices — no visibility into spend until the bill landed. TokenWatch connects to your OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini keys and gives you: - Real-time spend dashboard across projects - Budget thresholds with proactive alerts - Anomaly detection for unusual cost spikes - Duplicate call detection (biggest source of wasted spend I've seen) Free tier supports up to 3 AI systems. Built this in ~2 days as a solo project. Happy to answer anything about the build or the problem space.

Hi HN, My name is Ben Schaechter and I’m Co-Founder and CEO of https://vantage.sh - a cloud cost visibility and optimization platform. We just added support for monitoring OpenAI costs and usage to Vantage and I wanted to share a demo we put together with HN as I thought people might find it interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzAOU1-uMrM In early April we started getting requests from customers to add OpenAI cost support specifically as it was a bit opaque as to what exactly was driving costs. The way this works is that it uses an undocumented API available…
