See where spend is heading, set guardrails, and catch issues early.

For the first time we could see where OpenAI and AWS spend would land before the month closed. The forecast gave us enough time to adjust usage instead of explaining the invoice after the fact.
Northstar Labs
VP Engineering
We set our first provider budgets in StackSpend and finally had a shared number for product, engineering, and finance. Usage-based costs stopped feeling like something we only discovered at month end.

Head of Product
Cursor spend jumped after a contractor workspace was left active. The per-user breakdown made the owner obvious, and we fixed the policy before it became a budget issue.

It provides unified spend visibility, daily anomaly alerts, budget forecasting, and Slack or email delivery for engineering and FinOps teams.

How do I track OpenAI API costs?
Connect your OpenAI API key to StackSpend with read-only access. We pull daily spend data, load 90 days of history, and send a Slack or email digest each morning. You can set budget thresholds and receive anomaly alerts when spend spikes above your baseline.
How can I monitor Anthropic API costs?
StackSpend connects to the Anthropic API using a read-only key. Once connected, you get daily spend breakdowns, 90-day history, budget tracking, and Slack delivery. Anomaly alerts fire when Claude API spend jumps unexpectedly.
How do I get alerted about unexpected AWS charges?
StackSpend integrates with AWS Cost Explorer via read-only IAM credentials. It tracks daily spend per service, detects usage anomalies that exceed your historical baseline, and sends alerts via Slack, email, or webhook before the invoice arrives.
What is AI COGS and how do I track it?
AI COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) is the inference cost embedded in your SaaS product — the OpenAI, Anthropic, or Bedrock spend that goes into each user interaction or feature. StackSpend lets you tag costs by feature, team, or customer so you can calculate gross margin per product line and monitor how AI inference affects unit economics.
Which cloud and AI providers does StackSpend support?

Does StackSpend have an API, webhooks, and MCP?
Yes. StackSpend includes a REST API for line items, daily rollups, provider totals, and anomaly alerts. Webhooks can send anomaly and budget events to your own endpoint, and the MCP guide lets Claude Code query StackSpend cost data from natural language.

StackSpend plans start from $19/month. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You can connect providers and get full visibility before committing to a paid plan. Visit the pricing page for full plan details.
