The difference

How is AI Cost Guard different?

Without AI Cost Guard
  • Discover $2,400 AI bill at month-end
  • No idea which model or feature costs most
  • Agent loops burn $1,000+ overnight undetected
  • Zero visibility into per-user token usage
  • Manual spreadsheet tracking (if any)
With AI Cost Guard
  • Real-time dashboard shows spend as it happens
  • Per-model, per-feature, per-user cost breakdown
  • Instant alerts when spend exceeds your budget
  • AI suggests cheaper models for same quality
  • 5-minute SDK setup, then it's automated

Customer stories

Teams saving thousands every month

We were spending $3,200/mo on GPT-4 without realizing it. AI Cost Guard showed us 40% of calls could use GPT-3.5 — saved us $1,200 in the first month.

🧑‍💻

Priya Sharma

CTO, NexaAI

The SDK integration took literally 5 minutes. Now our entire team has visibility into AI costs in real-time. Game changer for our sprint planning.

👨‍💻

Marcus Chen

Lead Engineer, DataFlow

We caught a runaway agent loop within minutes instead of discovering a $2K bill at month-end. The budget alerts alone are worth the subscription.
