Know what your AI actually costs.

AI Spend Management

Manage model and token cost across teams and workflows – and stop paying frontier-model prices for work a cheaper model can do.

What ships today

Model choice and cost control through your own API key are live. Cost attribution, budgets and automatic cost-versus-quality routing are in development.

Today

AI spend fragments across users, providers, coding tools, agents, teams and projects. Finance sees the invoice, the CTO sees the adoption. Which work is creating the cost, nobody sees.

With Teklens

  1. Workflow
  2. Model
  3. Cost
  4. Budget
  • Attributes cost: organisation, team, user, project, provider, model, workflow
  • Shows input, output and – where available – cached tokens, requests and model mix
  • Sets budgets per team, user and project, with warnings and hard limits
  • Enforces rate limits, model restrictions and automatic fallback
  • Routes work to the lowest-cost model that meets the required quality

Result

A cost picture per team, project and workflow – plus budgets that bite before the invoice arrives.

Why Teklens?

Because Teklens knows which product work sits behind each request – not just which key sent it.
