Multi-provider AI spend consolidator
Teams rarely use one LLM provider. You might run cheap classification on Gemini, chat on GPT-4o and complex reasoning on Claude — three separate bills and no single number for total AI spend. This consolidator lets you enter each provider’s spend and instantly see the total, each provider’s share, an annual forecast and how you track against a budget target.
How it works
Add a row per provider with its spend for the period. The tool normalises everything to a monthly figure (weekly entries are multiplied by ~4.33), sums the total, computes each provider’s percentage share, and projects 12 months forward:
monthly_total = Σ provider_spend (normalised to monthly)
share_i = provider_spend_i / monthly_total × 100
annual = monthly_total × 12
status = monthly_total − budget_target
The result is the single dashboard line your finance team actually wants.
Tips and notes
- Watch the share column over time — a provider creeping toward a dominant share is exactly the lock-in exposure worth hedging against.
- Tag spend by use-case, not just provider, so you can move workloads to the cheapest provider that meets each task’s quality bar.
- This is a manual snapshot; for live tracking, wire provider usage APIs into a dashboard, but this tool is faster for a monthly review.
