So my launch of – the simple, proxy-less AI model cost monitoring software – didn’t generate much response. I said I would build this in public, so here is an update. I am very happy with the app for my own use. It’s everything I want it to be. So even without users, I’m glad I built this just for myself. It’s probably not accurate to say I “launched” this. All I did was publish the app, make a single post on X, LinkedIn and Show HN. That’s not really any sort of distribution effort needed for an app. So I will continue to get the word out regarding Costbase on Reddit, and other places, as well as engaging with X users who have problem with AI cost. (If you guys have ideas, lmk) It’s just a small app, a side project, so I won’t put too much time marketing this before calling it quit. Pre-AI, I’ve always spent so much effort building an app that I don’t have any time left for marketing (I also run an ERP consultancy). Now, building is pretty much automated, so th

I built a real-time LLM API pricing comparator — because I was tired of not knowing the actual cost difference between models I use LLMs daily at work and kept running into the same frustration: provider pricing pages give you raw numbers per million tokens, but no way to understand what that actually means for your specific use case. Is GPT-4o really that much more expensive than Claude Sonnet for 10k requests per day? What about DeepSeek vs Gemini Flash for high-volume summarization? I

Day 1 of building in public. TokenSave: a proxy that automatically reduces AI API costs — caching, model routing, compression. Up to 40% savings, zero code changes. 0 users. 0 revenue. Just shipped the MVP. Gonna share the real numbers every week here.

I nearly cut my free plan retention out of fear. I measured first, and the change did nothing. Backstory first, because that's the honest order. I pay for OpenAI, Anthropic and Cursor. Every one has its own dashboard, none of them agree with each other, and none agree with the invoice. What I actually wanted was boring: what did this feature cost last month, and which customers are expensive to serve. No provider console answers that, because they bill by organisation and API key, not by my
