Can you govern AI spend beyond tokens?

AI cost runs through the tools your teams use and the apps you ship — seats, tokens, compute and data. FinOpsly ties every stream to one owner, one budget, one policy.

Two AI spend streams, one control plane

AI you buy, and AI you build

AI cost governance means attributing, budgeting and controlling AI spend before the invoice — across the tools your teams use and the applications you run in production.

From tool sprawl to clear ownership

Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude are billed as per-seat licenses plus per-user tokens. FinOpsly resolves each seat and its token draw to a user, team and line of business, flags seats idle past 30 days, and sets a per-user budget that alerts the owner on overage.

From app sprawl to cost-to-serve

One production request spends on three meters at once: tokens (GPT-4o, Claude, Bedrock), compute (GPU-seconds on EKS or SageMaker), and data (Pinecone, Snowflake, Databricks reads). FinOpsly joins all three into one cost-to-serve, keyed to app, customer and end user.

Every AI tool one engineer runs up

Copilot here, Cursor there, ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude on the side. FinOpsly pulls every AI seat and API token one engineer expenses into a single per-user view, ties it to their team, and sets a monthly budget that pings the owner the moment usage runs over.

It won't switch the tool off — these are third-party SaaS, not your app. It makes every AI dollar visible, owned and budgeted, so nothing sprawls unseen.

FinOpsly resolves each seat and its API-token draw to a user, team and line of business, then holds a per-user budget that alerts the owner on overage.

Follow one user,
all the way down

Acme Corp is your customer; jdoe is a user there. FinOpsly joins the tokens, compute and data that one user burns over a month into a single cost-to-serve, then rolls it up to the customer. No shared bills, no guessing which account is underwater.

Powered by FinOpsly's lightweight SDK — per-user economics no billing export can give you.

Where the AI savings are

The biggest lever is the model you run

Trimming, batching and caching all help. The biggest AI savings come down to one call: which model runs the workload. FinOpsly prices that workload across every model — frontier, lighter, open-weight — side by side. You see what each one costs and pick the fit. FinOpsly sizes the cost; you own the fit.

The biggest lever

Price your workload on every model

The same workload can run $8,000 or $48,000 a month depending on the model behind it. FinOpsly runs the numbers across frontier, lighter and open-weight models — GPT-4o, Claude, GLM, Kimi and more — so your developers model the trade-off and choose. FinOpsly sizes the cost. You own the fit.

Support assistant · 12M calls / mo
GPT-4o · frontier$48,000/mo
Claude Haiku · lighter$16,800/mo
GLM · open-weight$9,600/mo
Kimi · open-weight$8,200/mo
Same workload · $8,200 to $48,000 · up to $39,800/mo on the table. You choose the model that fits the task.

Below the model call, FinOpsly surfaces the signals behind every dollar — cache hit ratio, cost per call by model, tokens and GPU utilization — so your team knows exactly where to act.

Cost per call, by model

See what every call costs, split by model and workload. The routine work quietly running on a premium model shows up fast.

LEVER
You decide which model fits the task. FinOpsly shows the cost per call, per model.

Cache hit ratio

See your cache hit ratio and how much repeat traffic re-pays full price.

LEVER
Providers bill cached input tokens well below standard rates. FinOpsly shows the ratio; you size the cache.

Batch-eligible volume

See which latency-tolerant calls could move to batch, and what the shift is worth.

LEVER
OpenAI's Batch API runs at 50% of synchronous cost.

Tokens per call

See input and output tokens per call, and where oversized context inflates every request.

LEVER
Trim the context, cut the bill. FinOpsly sizes the return per call and per month.

GPU & inference utilization

See utilization on self-hosted and inference GPUs, by workload and environment.

LEVER
Underused capacity, priced in dollars. Right-size to what the model actually needs.

Provisioned vs on-demand

See volume and throughput per workload, and the breakeven for committed capacity.

LEVER
Bedrock Provisioned Throughput / Azure PTUs for steady load. FinOpsly models the crossover.
