Toolspend

Track AI spend, usage, and cost across tools

This is incredibly timely — AI tool costs can spiral out of control fast, especially when you're using multiple APIs for different tasks. Do you support tracking costs for image generation APIs like Replicate or fal.ai? That's where a lot of hidden spend lives.

Congratulations on the launch! seems like a great niche. Do you track usage as well not just spending, and can I set usage alerts instead of budget alerts? If not, any plans on adding this in the near future?

The visibility problem with AI tooling costs is real — you start with one subscription, then three, then you realize you have overlapping tools doing the same job. Centralizing that view with actual usage data rather than just listing what you're paying for is the key insight here. Congrats on the launch!

Love this idea — AI costs are getting out of control fast. This feels super needed right now 👏

Nice angle focusing on actual usage instead of just listing tools. How are you pulling usage data — direct integrations or finance/accounting sources?

Two months ago, when I asked ChatGPT for ideas, the first idea they gave me was this same tool and in the end, they asked me to select this idea. But I ignored this toolspending idea and today someone else executed this SaaS idea. What I learned from this is that whatever you think, research it and do it as soon as possible.

Just when you think there isn't a tool to track all your spending accurately ToolSpend pops up amazing!

Congrats on the launch! We’ve definitely run into this with our startup team... once you’re using multiple AI models and tools, it gets challenging to understand what you’re actually spending vs. what you’re getting. Being able to chat with AI to see total spend, usage analytics, and optimization suggestions would be really valuable.

This hits home. 💸 The 'ghost licenses' problem is real and honestly, it's the same mindset I bring to building tools.

You know what else suffers from the same 'set it and forget it' drain? Risk engines. Companies pay thousands monthly for enterprise risk tools, using maybe 20% of the features, while the other 80% is just bloat they never touch.

Quick question: When you look at your stack, what's the most painful 'ghost spend' you've discovered? And if you could wave a wand what would the ideal tool look like that actually respects your budget and gives you exactly what you need, nothing more?

The number of tools I bought to test and forgot to cancel will have me bankrupt, especially browsing here everyday. this is such a smart idea!

Very Nice and useful idea, will you consider offering a white label solution as well?

Congrats on the launch! The gap between token usage and actual financial impact is very real, especially as teams experiment across multiple AI tools. How does ToolSpend attribute usage and cost to specific teams or projects when accounts and API keys are often shared across departments?

Makes sense companies suddenly have 10+ AI tools per team and nobody knows who’s using what 😅 If it actually tracks real usage + catches ghost seats before renewal, that’s legit ROI. AI spend visibility is quickly becoming finance infra, not just ops tooling.

Cool initiative, do you also keep track of those free memberships and provide updates when the trial period is almost over?

This is super timely with everyone subscribing to 5 different AI tools. :D
Does the tool separate variable costs from fixed seat-based subscriptions?

Yep, rogue AI seats are killing us. Surprise Midjourney/Cursor/Claude charges and then finance pings me. If this actually maps tokens to teams + nudges before renewals, that’d help. Does it catch stuff paid on personal cards that get expensed later?

I think it is kinda useful for people who have like million subscription plans. :)
