Frequently asked questions

How does this work?

We sit between your app and the AI API. Every request goes through us, we track the cost in real-time, and enforce your spending limit.

Do I need to change my code?

No code changes needed. Just update your API endpoint to point to us, and we handle the rest.

What happens when I hit my limit?

We immediately stop forwarding requests to the AI provider. Your app gets a clear error response, and you get notified by email.

Which APIs do you support?

OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5), Anthropic (Claude), Groq, and more. We're adding new providers regularly.
