AI Cost Intelligence

See what every
AI call costs,
by workflow.

Built for founders, CTOs, and engineering leads shipping AI products. Label traffic by feature, agent, or environment, see which workflows drive the bill, and keep budgets and provider policy underneath.

Stipend does not store, log, or train on prompts or completions. We keep only the metadata needed for attribution, budgets, policy, and reporting.
The Blind Spot

Most teams can see the invoice.
Almost none can see which
workflow caused it.

Founders and CTOs get a provider bill and maybe a rough cost-center rollup. They still cannot tell which feature got expensive after launch, which agent actually needs the premium model, or which workflow is quietly eroding margin. By the time the team asks questions, the release is already live and the cost is already real. Governance still matters, but the first problem is visibility: if you cannot attribute spend to the workflow, you cannot optimize it.

"We had no idea our content generation agent was 10x more expensive than everything else combined until we broke spend out by workflow."

How It Works

From blind spend to
attributed traffic.

01
Label the Request

Pass the feature, agent, or environment with each AI call so one expensive workflow does not disappear inside a monthly provider invoice.

02
Route Through Stipend

Send traffic through one gateway for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or resale. Budgets and provider policy still run underneath every request.

03
Attribute the Spend

See cost by workflow, team, cost center, provider, and model. Compare what changed after a launch instead of waiting for a month-end surprise.

04
Optimize the Next Release

Use the history to spot expensive workflows, decide where cheaper models might work, and estimate release impact before you push more traffic. Routing recommendations and simulation are in active development.

Features

AI cost intelligence with
control built in.

Cost by Workflow

See what each feature
actually costs.

Tag requests by feature, agent, or environment, break down spend by any dimension you define, and compare releases before a workflow disappears inside the monthly invoice.

Routing Intelligence

Find the workflows
that are overpaying.

See where a cheaper model could handle the same workload before another invoice lands. Routing recommendations and simulation are in active development.

Control Layer

Keep budgets and policy
under every request.

Budgets, provider policy, finance reporting, and access control still sit underneath the traffic so workflow visibility is trustworthy instead of aspirational.

Engineering leads get the signal.
Builders keep moving.

Each engineer gets a self-serve portal for budget, keys, and usage. The team ships faster without losing the budget line or opening tickets for every provider change.

Capabilities

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Budget by Role
Define budget tiers by employee, team, or role and adjust them directly from the admin console as your organization changes.
Provider Policy
Define which providers and models each team can access. Requests to unapproved endpoints are blocked before they leave the gateway.
Audit Trail
Complete, immutable logs of every request: who, which model, how many tokens, what cost, at what time. Built for compliance reviews.
Real-Time Enforcement
Every request is checked against the employee's remaining balance synchronously. Hard limits, not soft alerts. No overages, no surprises.
Access Lifecycle
Invite employees, issue managed credentials, and revoke access in one click when someone no longer needs company AI spend.
Cost Center Reporting
Every dollar attributed to a team, role, or cost center. Export finance-ready CSVs for AP or import into your existing ERP workflow.
