Your multi-provider invoices arrive as one number nobody can explain. AI SpendOps is a managed gateway that prices every LLM call as it happens and attributes it to the team, feature or customer that caused it. Unlike tracing tools, it is built for cost accounting, not debugging, and it never stores prompts or responses. Point your SDK at it, add one header, keep your own keys. Budgets with email alerts flag runaway spend early.

Could you build this?

Partial While basic proxying and cost mapping is simple, building an ultra-low latency, highly available managed gateway that parses streaming responses from 16+ LLM providers without adding overhead requires specialized edge systems work.

What it would actually take: A reliable production gateway requires an edge computing architecture (e.g., Cloudflare Workers or Rust/Go services deployed globally) with sub-10ms overhead, resilient streaming SSE parsers that unpack tokens on the fly across different provider specs, and an accurate, constantly updated database of token pricing tiers (including prompt caching and batch discounts). High concurrency, failure-handling, and SOC2/data isolation compliances demand solid systems and site-reliability engineering expertise.
