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

A developer built AICostPass, a tool to track AI API spending from providers like OpenAI and Anthropic in real time, after struggling with limited visibility into costs until invoices arrived. The tool aims to help developers, startups, and agencies monitor and control AI expenses proactively.

While building with OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI providers, I realized something surprising. I monitored my servers, databases, and application performance—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: 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?
