Spend protection

Set the limits you know. Get alerted to the changes you didn't.

Hard limits protect known boundaries. Anomaly detection watches finalized usage and spend for material changes, then routes confirmed incidents to email or Slack.

Usage or spend spikes

A new workflow may be taking off—or an automated process may be running away.

Budget burn accelerates

Projected month-end spend may be crossing the budget your team configured.

A customer nears a limit

A hard boundary can stop known overages before expensive work begins.

Anomaly alerts notify your team; configured Meter allowances and limits enforce policy before work begins. Provider-reported spend is authoritative daily, while metered calls add faster hourly estimates.

Provider-neutral metering

Use any provider. Meter any product event.

Track OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, self-hosted models, API calls, agent actions, and custom product events against the same customer usage record.
