TokenBooks Cross-Provider AI Spend Dashboard

See where your AI money goes. Track spending across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. Per-provider breakdowns, per-model costs, budget tracking, waste detection.


See where your AI money goes. Track spending across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. Find waste. Stay under budget.

TokenBooks imports billing data from multiple AI providers, aggregates everything into one view, and shows you exactly where every dollar went. Per-provider breakdowns, per-model costs, time series trends, budget tracking, and waste detection β€” all in one tool, all local, zero cloud dependencies.


The Problem

You use OpenAI for coding, Anthropic for research, Google for experiments. Each has its own billing dashboard. You have no idea:

  • How much you're spending total across all providers
  • Which models are eating your budget
  • Whether you're on track for your monthly limit
  • If you're using expensive models for simple tasks
  • Manually exporting CSVs and combining them in Excel is tedious and error-prone.

    What TokenBooks Does

    Unified Dashboard

  • Import from OpenAI (CSV), Anthropic (JSON), Google Cloud, or custom formats
  • See total spending across all providers in one place
  • Per-provider, per-model, per-task breakdowns
  • Visual HTML reports with CSS-based charts (zero JavaScript)
  • Budget Tracking

  • Set monthly budgets
  • See remaining balance and utilization percentage
  • Alerts when you hit 80% or 95%
  • Waste Detection

  • Identify expensive models used for simple tasks
  • Calculate cost-per-1k-tokens for each model
  • Suggest cheaper alternatives
  • Time Series Analysis

  • Daily, weekly, or monthly spending trends
  • See when costs spiked
  • Compare this month vs. last month
  • Task-Level Tracking

  • Tag API calls with task names ("code_review", "documentation", etc.)
  • See which tasks cost the most
  • Optimize task-to-model assignments

  • Quick Start

    # 1. Import billing data
    python3 token_import.py openai_billing.csv --provider openai --output data.json

    2. Analyze spending

    python3 token_books.py data.json --budget 100

    3. Generate HTML dashboard

    python3 token_report.py data.json --output dashboard.html --budget 100

    Open dashboard.html in a browser to see:

  • Total spend and token usage
  • Provider and model breakdowns
  • Daily spending trend (last 30 days)
  • Budget status
  • Waste detection alerts

  • Usage Guide

    Import Data

    From OpenAI:

    # Download CSV from OpenAI usage dashboard
    python3 token_import.py openai_usage.csv --provider openai --output data.json
    

    From Anthropic:

    # Download JSON from Anthropic console
    python3 token_import.py anthropic_usage.json --provider anthropic --output data.json
    

    From Custom CSV:

    # Provide column mapping
    python3 token_import.py my_billing.csv --provider custom --column-map mapping.json --output data.json
    

    Column mapping format (mapping.json):

    {
      "timestamp": "Date",
      "provider": "API_Provider",
      "model": "Model_Name",
      "input_tokens": "Prompt_Tokens",
      "output_tokens": "Response_Tokens",
      "cost": "Cost_USD"
    }
    

    Analyze Spending

    # Basic analysis
    python3 token_books.py data.json

    With budget tracking

    python3 token_books.py data.json --budget 100

    JSON output for scripting

    python3 token_books.py data.json --output json > analysis.json

    Generate Dashboard

    # Generate HTML dashboard
    python3 token_report.py data.json --output dashboard.html

    With budget status

    python3 token_report.py data.json --output dashboard.html --budget 100


    Use Cases

    1. Multi-Provider Cost Tracking

    You use OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Import all billing data into TokenBooks, see total spend in one place.

    2. Budget Enforcement

    Set a $100/month budget. TokenBooks tells you when you've spent $80 (warning) or $95 (critical). Avoid surprise bills.

    3. Model Optimization

    See which models cost the most. If GPT-4 is 80% of your spend but only used for simple tasks, switch to GPT-3.5 Turbo.

    4. Task Cost Allocation

    Tag API calls with task names. See that "code_review" costs $30/month while "documentation" costs $5. Optimize accordingly.

    5. Team Reporting

    Generate monthly HTML dashboards for your team. Share spending trends and optimization opportunities.

    6. Vendor Comparison

    Compare costs across providers for similar workloads. Maybe Anthropic is cheaper for your use case than OpenAI.


    What Gets Tracked

    Per-Provider

  • Total cost
  • Total tokens (input + output)
  • Request count
  • Per-Model

  • Total cost
  • Token usage
  • Request count
  • Cost per 1k tokens
  • Per-Task

  • Total cost (if you tag API calls)
  • Token usage
  • Request count
  • Time Series

  • Daily, weekly, or monthly trends
  • Spot spending spikes
  • Compare periods
  • Waste Detection

  • Models with high cost-per-token ratios
  • Suggestions for cheaper alternatives
  • Identify over-provisioned tasks

  • Configuration

    See config_example.json for reference constants and example values

    # Set monthly budget
    MONTHLY_BUDGET = 100.0

    Update pricing for accurate cost calculation

    MODEL_PRICING = { 'gpt-4': {'input': 30.0, 'output': 60.0}, 'claude-3-opus': {'input': 15.0, 'output': 75.0}, }

    Budget alert thresholds

    ALERT_THRESHOLDS = { 'warning': 80, # 80% utilization 'critical': 95 # 95% utilization }

    Waste detection threshold

    WASTE_THRESHOLD = 0.10 # $0.10 per 1k tokens

    Number of top models to show

    TOP_MODELS_LIMIT = 10

    See config_example.json for full options.


    Examples

    Example 1: Monthly Budget Tracking

    # Import January data
    python3 token_import.py openai_jan.csv --provider openai --output jan.json

    FAQ

    Q: Does it work with Google Cloud billing? A: Not directly. Google Cloud billing CSVs can be imported via custom CSV parser with column mapping. See config_example.json for mapping format.

    Q: Can it track API calls in real-time? A: No. TokenBooks analyzes exported billing data, not live API usage. Export from your provider, then import.

    Q: Does it send data anywhere? A: No. Everything runs locally. Zero network calls.

    Q: How do I tag API calls with task names? A: Add a "task" field to your billing exports. If your provider doesn't support this, manually add it to the CSV before importing.

    Q: Can I combine multiple months of data? A: Yes. Import each month's data into the same JSON file, or merge JSON files manually.

    Q: Does it support non-USD currencies? A: Not directly. Convert to USD before importing, or manually adjust cost values.
