Start free. Scale when you have the data to justify it.

CogniSpend stores token counts, cost metadata, timestamps, and the attribution tags you set (workflow, team, use case). It does not store prompt text or model responses. Your content stays in your infrastructure.

The CogniSpend proxy is an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Point your existing client's base URL at the proxy, pass your provider API key as normal, and the proxy forwards the request to the real provider while recording token usage and cost. Round-trip latency added is typically under 5ms.

No. The SDK wraps your existing client and records usage data asynchronously after each response. It does not sit in the request path. Tracking data is batched and sent in the background so your agents run at full speed.

Both the SDK and proxy support streaming. For streaming requests, token counts are accumulated as chunks arrive and the final cost is recorded when the stream closes — your streaming latency is unaffected.

Yes. Any provider that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API (Groq, Together AI, Fireworks, Azure OpenAI, etc.) works through the proxy without changes. For providers with non-standard APIs, you can record costs via the CogniSpend REST API directly.

Enterprise plans include a self-hosted deployment option for organizations with data residency requirements. Contact us to discuss your setup.

One event equals one API call to a language model — one completion, one chat response, one embedding. Streaming responses count as one event regardless of the number of chunks. Manual cost entries do not count toward event volume.

The CogniSpend SDK is open source (MIT licensed) and available on GitHub. The core platform is commercial software. We publish the SDK so you can audit exactly what data leaves your system.

Both are tracked as fixed costs via manual cost entries or CSV import. You set the monthly seat cost, the number of seats, and the team it belongs to. CogniSpend attributes this spend alongside your API costs so you get a true total AI cost picture.

You can export all your data as CSV at any time from the settings page. On downgrade, data older than the new plan's retention window is archived for 30 days before deletion. On cancellation, you have 30 days to export before data is permanently removed.
