Prediction

Predictive Usage Intelligence

ProScaleEnterprise

Stop reacting to overages—start predicting them. UsageTap's predictive algorithms analyze usage patterns to forecast future spend in both dollars and API calls, giving you and your customers the visibility to act before costs spiral out of control.

Dollar-Based Forecasting

See projected spend before it happens. Our algorithms predict future costs based on historical patterns, trend analysis, and usage velocity—so finance and product teams can plan with confidence.

Call Volume Prediction

Anticipate API call volume before limits are reached. Identify customers trending toward overages and proactively offer upgrades or adjustments—turning potential churn into expansion revenue.

Early Warning Alerts

Get notified when predictions indicate a customer is heading toward their limits. Automated alerts give you time to intervene with personalized outreach before surprises hit their invoice.

Forecast Anomaly Detection

Statistical time-series models flag actuals that diverge significantly from expected usage, so you can investigate spikes, drops, or model drift early.

Email alerts

Usage anomaly & forecast email notifications

ProScaleEnterprise

Keep customers and ops teams ahead of surprises. UsageTap sends daily and hourly anomaly alerts when AI or custom meter usage shifts dramatically from predicted trends. Weekly forecast emails provide proactive guidance with CTAs to upgrade plans or top up PAYGo credit before limits are reached. Statistical forecasting and anomaly detection optimize revenue and reduce unanticipated operating costs due to excessive user behavior.
