AI costs and limits
AI can get expensive. Without visibility, one team burns the budget over a weekend. We offer one invoice, cost tracking, and limits per person or project.
Why cost control
Every model has a different price per token. Every vendor bills differently. The gateway unifies that into one view.
IT and management see who spent what. Developers do not guess from three separate vendor invoices.
One invoice
Many model vendors, one clear overview from us. Less admin and fewer surprises in accounting.
Cost tracking
Usage by user, team, project, or model. See what contract summaries cost vs. support chat.
Spending limits
Monthly cap per department or the whole company. Alerts before you cross the line. Hard stop at a critical limit.
Audit and logs
Who called which model and when. Useful for GDPR, internal policy, and incident review.
More gateway options
- Rate limiting under sudden load or a leaked key.
- API key rotation on the server without changing app code.
- Split traffic between two instances of the same model (load balancing).
- Fallback modules in a chain: if model A fails, model B automatically.
- Cache for repeated questions where it makes sense (lower cost, faster reply).
Technical routing is on model routing.
