AI Cost Management for Agencies

The multi-client AI cost challenge

You're delivering AI features to multiple clients. But your costs are pooled across all of them. You can't bill back accurately—so you're eating margins.

❌ Can't isolate per-client costs

You know your total LLM bill, but can't answer: "Which client cost us the most?" You end up over-serving to risk-averse clients.

❌ Billing disputes with clients

You estimate AI feature cost at $500/month. Turns out it's $2,000. Client pushes back. You absorb the overrun.

❌ No way to set per-project budgets

A client kicks off a project. You have no way to say "this project gets $1K/month AI budget—then we optimize or pause."

Multi-client cost allocation in one dashboard

Tag every API call with client name or project ID. Tokonomics instantly shows cost-per-client, cost-per-project. Set budgets per project. Never eat margins again.

💼 Cost per client

See which clients are driving the most LLM usage. Upsell to high-usage customers. Optimize for low-margin ones.

💡 Cost per project

Each client project gets its own budget. Set $5K for Project A, $10K for Project B. Block overspend automatically.

📋 Billing transparency

Export client cost reports in one click. Show clients exactly what they spent on AI. Build trust. Reduce disputes.

📈 Margin analysis

See which clients are profitable on your AI work. Which ones are money-losers? Reprice or optimize accordingly.

Real agency scenario

You build a content summarization feature for 3 clients. Without Tokonomics, you'd pay one LLM bill covering all three. With Tokonomics you see this:

Client A

This month: $480
Per call: $0.048
Status: Efficient ✓

Client B

This month: $1,200
Per call: $0.120
Status: High usage ⚠️

Client C

This month: $800
Per call: $0.040
Status: Excellent ✓

Insight: Client B is using 2.5x more tokens per call. Time to review their feature usage and optimize their prompt.

Questions? We have answers.

How do I tag by client?

One extra header in your API call: X-Metering-Tags: {"client":"acme-corp"}. Tokonomics groups costs by tag.

Can I export client reports?

Yes. Dashboard has one-click export to PDF. Clients see their cost, breakdown by model, usage trends.

What if a project goes over budget?

You choose: soft alert (we email you) or hard cap (we block further calls). You decide per project.

Can I have multiple projects per client?

Yes. Tag with both client and project: {"client":"acme","project":"summarizer"}. Unlimited dimensions.

Does this work with all LLM providers?

Yes. OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Gemini, Mistral, Groq. One dashboard for all.

Is there an API for reports?

Yes. Full REST API to fetch costs programmatically. Integrate with your billing system.
