24 alternatives to AICosts.ai
Hey 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…

Hey HN! Tokencost is a utility library for estimating LLM costs. There are hundreds of different models now, and they all have their own pricing schemes. It’s difficult to keep up with the pricing changes, and it’s even more difficult to estimate how much your prompts and completions will cost until you see the bill. Tokencost works by counting the number of tokens in prompt and completion messages and multiplying that number by the corresponding model cost. Under the hood, it’s really just a simple cost dictionary and some utility functions for getting the prices right. It also accounts for…

YourGPT 2.0▲215Today we are launching YourGPT 2.0, an update focused on making support, sales, and operational workflows work together more smoothly in one system. This release improves how workflows are built, how the platform connects to external tools, and how context is maintained across long, multi-channel interactions. AI Studio now makes it much easier to create and refine workflows. You can describe the process you want in natural language and the system generates the full workflow for you. It can also help debug issues by showing what happened at each step and explaining where things went off…

I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

devtimate▲25Hey HN! I am a FE dev who is working at a software agency and im making 2-3 estimates per week.

I just started researching and I couldnt find anything good enough for my usecase. So I made a tool for creating estimates with AI. I…

I built 75 developer and AI tools as a single static site. Everything runs in the browser, no cookies, no ads, nothing gets sent to a server. The tools range from the usual suspects (JSON formatter, base64 encoder, regex tester) to some AI-specific ones I couldn't find good free versions of bundled in one suite: - LLM Token Counter (estimates tokens for GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) - AI Model Comparison (specs, pricing, context windows side by side) - AI Cost Estimator (plug in your usage, get monthly cost projections) - MCP Server Directory (browsable catalog of Model Context Protocol…

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 everyone, I've been working on a side project over quarantine called Usage.ai and I finally feel comfortable enough to launch it. We're a service that plugs directly into AWS, automatically finds savings, and applies those savings at the press of a confirmation button all without ever needing to go to an AWS console. I'd love to get HN's thoughts on it! Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/2a6f1c8e4c214914a1cdd88c6fdec4ac Link: https://www.usage.ai/

Hey HN! I love those moments when LLMs are just working right away, but I'm also quite frustrated when they can't complete a single simple task. In those moments I'm always wondering "Is it just me or...?" So I've built AI Daily Check. Made the frontend with Node.js under Cloudflare Pages (with Functions for SSR). Took the opportunity to learn how to make a lightweight SSR engine (Claude Code was incredibly helpful for this!). The backend in on Cloudflare Workers. The challenge is getting votes, so I've started to scrape Reddit, running a small sentiment analysis on the posts and storing…

I use multiple AI tools for work and also my side projects, and the annoying part was to track my costs and token usage across tools. Everytime I had to visit each tool and its respective usage setting to check it and I was losing patience and also was getting hit by surprise limits Now I know that there are already free/open-source trackers for Cursor or Claude usage, and they are useful if that is all you need. My problem is broader as I wanted one small place to see tokens, spend, subscriptions and limits across the AI tools I actually use. I was really tired of switching tabs and…

Hi HN – I'm Andrew, one of the founders of Stackspend. We built Stackspend after seeing AI startups struggle to manage spend across cloud providers, SaaS tools, and APIs. The problem: AI companies often have dozens of vendors (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, etc.) and spend can grow extremely fast. What Stackspend does: • unified view of vendor spend • controls and approval flows • AI-company specific reporting You can try it here: www.stackspend.app Happy to answer questions.

Hey HN: Kaveh here, founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS, GCP, and Azure spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. I have been building Usage AI for almost 4 years now (4 year anniversary in 1 month from now!) with an incredible group of founding people. We started as a product just to help lower AWS EC2 costs, and now we do all major AWS services (such as RDS, OpenSearch, ElastiCache, and Redshift with more on the way) and other…

Companion▲20AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?
