Credyt▲100Hey HN! I'm the founder of Credyt (https://credyt.ai). If you're running an AI product that burns $0.50+ per interaction, you need to bill customers as usage happens, not at the end of the month. Otherwise you're a bank for your customers, and you'll run out of money before they do. Why invoice-based billing doesn't work for AI: Most usage-based billing tools (Stripe Billing, Orb, etc.) were built for SaaS. They meter usage all month, then send an invoice. That works fine when your COGS is 5%. It's a disaster when you're paying your AI vendor upfront for every request and your…

delegare▲70Hi guys, am building SecureLend.ai and when working on our underwriting agents (free trial, paid after) I had issues with seamless payment options. Of course I looked at x402 which I believe is a great protocol but not a fan of a) sharing private keys with the agent b) having a human in the loop or c) similar workaround e.g. pre-funded wallets So I started building out a solution. For my use case it was important to not only have stablecoins but also a fiat rail which is now implemented using Stripe. Initially I build a mandate system internally but am very glad and big shoutout to the guys…

Your AI agent hits an infinite loop and racks up $2000 in API charges overnight. This happens weekly to AI developers. AgentGuard monitors API calls in real-time and automatically kills your process when it hits your budget limit. How it works: Add 2 lines to any AI project: const agentGuard = require('agent-guard'); await agentGuard.init({ limit: 50 }); // $50 budget // Your existing code runs unchanged const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...}); // AgentGuard tracks costs automatically When your code hits $50 in API costs, AgentGuard stops…

I built this after hitting the same wall repeatedly — no good way to enforce token budgets in application code. Provider caps are account-level and tell you what happened, not what is happening. Two ways to add it: # Direct client wrapper client = tokencap.wrap(anthropic.Anthropic(), limit=50_000) # LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc. tokencap.patch(limit=50_000) Four actions at configurable thresholds: WARN, DEGRADE (transparent model swap), BLOCK, and WEBHOOK. SQLite out of the box, Redis for multi-agent setups. One design decision worth mentioning: tokencap tracks tokens, not dollars. Token…

Hi HN, I’m Yahya, founder of Rocket Money (formerly Truebill, YC W16). I’m working with a team to launch Payloop, a lightweight infrastructure layer that helps teams understand the real costs of deploying AI agents - across tasks, workflows, and customers. Here's a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-GkSl_7imY Most companies today can't see what it actually costs to deploy their agents, making it nearly impossible to manage margins or price confidently. Payloop solves this with an elegant approach: just a single line of code gives you real-time visibility into cost…

Hey HN, I built AgentBudget after an AI agent loop cost me $187 in 10 minutes — GPT-4o retrying a failed analysis over and over. Existing tools (LangSmith, Langfuse) track costs after execution but don't prevent overspend. AgentBudget is a Python SDK that gives each agent session a hard dollar budget with real-time enforcement. Integration is two lines: import agentbudget agentbudget.init("$5.00") It monkey-patches the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs (same pattern as Sentry/Datadog), so existing code works without changes. When the budget is hit, it raises BudgetExhausted before the next API…

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…

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.
