Cloud AI Bill Bodyguard

Watch price and availability changes for Bedrock, Modal, and other AI clouds before the bill surprises you

Problem
Developers using AWS Bedrock find some models blocked for their account, Modal suddenly raises prices, and users lack awareness of price and availability changes for AI cloud services they depend on—often getting shocked at month-end bills.
Solution
A lightweight monitoring service where users select the cloud AI services and models they use; it periodically scrapes pricing pages, status pages, and quota announcements, notifies via email or Telegram on changes, and estimates the monthly bill impact.
Users
Indie developers and early-stage teams using Bedrock, Modal, OpenAI API, etc.; engineering leads controlling cloud costs.
MVP
Select cloud services and models; periodic scraping of price and status changes; notifications with impact notes; a simple monthly cost estimate dashboard.
Revenue
Free monitoring for a few services plus paid subscriptions for more services and team notifications; API billing.
Why now
AI cloud prices change frequently and are scattered, with no unified monitoring channel; scraping public pricing pages is technically simple and quick for an indie developer to launch.
