QuotaLens — the AI subscription value scalpel

Track real tasks-per-dollar across your AI coding subscriptions and find the best combo.

Problem

One developer repeatedly measured that with the same $20 OpenAI and Claude subscriptions, one can barely finish one meaningful coding task within a 5-hour limit while the other comfortably finishes three. Vendors never publish this task-level value comparison.

Solution

A local tracker that automatically counts how many meaningful tasks each agent subscription completes within a time window, using session duration, lines changed, and commits as proxies, then outputs tasks-per-dollar and limit-exhaustion curves to guide renewal decisions.

Users

Developers subscribing to multiple AI coding tools; small-team tech leads.

MVP

Ingest session logs from common agent CLIs; group stats by subscription with token/time usage; visualize tasks-per-dollar; manual flagging of meaningful tasks; export monthly report.

Revenue

Personal subscription at $3–$5/mo; team tier per seat; or free as a funnel into a pricier team cost-analysis product.

Why now

Running multiple subscriptions is now normal, yet vendor limits are opaque and experiences vary wildly; people already do this comparison manually in public posts, so the pain is real.
