AgentAPI Spend Ledger

One bill across all your AI providers so SaaS founders can see true costs

Problem
Builders of AI SaaS products juggle OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini dashboards, so when they experiment with multiple models or run automated workflows they can't see total spend — API cost becomes a hidden problem. People also point out that AI usage currently costs providers more than they charge, and once prices rise margins will be eaten.
Solution
Connect provider API keys or bill exports and aggregate spend by project, model and feature, with daily/per-user cost trends and overspend alerts; tag each call so cost can be attributed to a specific feature or customer.
Users
Solo or tiny-team AI SaaS founders and indie developers
MVP
Import billing CSVs and usage APIs from OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini; aggregate cost by project/model with trend charts; email alerts for daily and monthly budget thresholds; a tiny SDK to tag calls by feature for cost attribution
Revenue
Monthly subscription tiered by monitored projects or call volume; free tier keeps only the last 7 days
Why now
AI apps are everywhere and costs will become visible once the price war ends; big clouds won't build a lightweight cross-provider reconciler, leaving a gap for indies
