I was juggling 4 AI provider dashboards and still got blindsided by a $380 overage — so I built something to fix it

Summary

The author built a unified dashboard to track and manage costs across multiple AI providers like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Groq, with real-time alerts and cost breakdowns to avoid unexpected overages.

I run a small team that uses OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Groq depending on the task. For months I was just checking each provider's billing page separately, tracking usage in my own spreadsheet. Then one time, a teammate accidentally left a script looping on GPT-4 overnight. I didn't find out until 3 days later when I saw the invoice. There was no single place to see usage/cost in real-time across providers, so the alert came way too late. So I built my own tool to fix this: Unified dashboard for all AI provider costs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, etc.) Real-time alerts when there's an unusual usage spike Per-team-member cost breakdown (so you know who/which project is driving the spend) Health monitoring to catch provider outages before they hit your production calls Curious if anyone else has run into this — how are you currently tracking your multi-provider AI spend? Still manual, or are you using something already?
