EmuPay: Multi-model coding subscription quota monitor

Helps developers see remaining AI coding quotas in real time and avoid wasted spend

Problem

Developers subscribe to GPT Plus, Claude Pro, and a Google student plan on a $200/month budget, yet get blindsided when a 5-hour quota suddenly runs out. They hesitate to switch to alternatives like Grok because they don't know how much quota remains or when it resets. Anxiety about 'shrinking quotas' and 'how to split subscriptions' recurs in the community.

Solution

A local-first tool that reads usage and reset times from official APIs or proxy logs for major AI coding services (ChatGPT/Codex, Claude, Gemini, Grok, etc.), unifies remaining quota and weekly trends in one dashboard, and alerts as limits approach. Tracks consumption by day and project.

Users

Indie developers and small-team tech leads subscribing to multiple AI coding services

MVP

Integrate 3-4 mainstream services via usage APIs or local CLI logs; unified dashboard with remaining quota and reset countdown; threshold alerts; weekly consumption trend chart

Revenue

Free tier for 2 accounts; Pro at $5/mo for multi-account, team views, and history; $49 lifetime option

Why now

AI coding subscriptions are now a fixed developer expense, and quota anxiety appears frequently in communities; multi-model coexistence is the norm, but there's no unified panel
