AIUsageRadar
A unified dashboard that tracks your AI tool spending and usage limits across Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and other services so you never hit a surprise cutoff mid-project.

AISpendGuard
Track, forecast, and cap your AI API spending across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in real time before you get a shocking bill.
PAIN POINTAs AI providers shift from flat subscriptions to usage-based billing, developers and teams running multiple AI agents have no way to track combined spend across providers, forecast costs, or prevent runaway agent bills — especially painful as weekly limits and billing model changes cause unpredictable costs.
