Tokonomics
Track every LLM token, set budget alerts, never overspend
What this is
An API proxy that sits between your app and any LLM provider to track spend and set budget alerts by feature, team or customer - a developer infrastructure tool, not an end-user app.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- An API proxy that sits between your app and any LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, xAI, or OpenAI-compatible APIs) — you change one URL, and it forwards requests while recording tokens, cost, model and latency for every call, with a cost dashboard and budget alerts via email, Slack or Microsoft Teams.
- What's different
- Requires only a one-URL change, no SDK or code rewrite, to get cost visibility across multiple LLM providers at once.
- Best for
- Developer teams who want to track and cap LLM spend per feature, team or customer.

Analytics. Launched 18d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #546. Today, it's been quiet for 15 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”

Beyan değil kanıt: founder “çalışıyoruz” diye post atabilir, ama sevk ettiyse izi kalır. ⚠️ Kaydı olmayan ürün “sevk etmedi” demek değildir — o üründe izleyecek bir kaynağımız yok demektir.
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It placed #546 on PeerPush with 2 votes. It also showed up on 1 other board — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 4 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 16 olay var. 1 quiet day in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Tokonomics is an API proxy that sits between your application and any LLM provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, xAI, and any OpenAI-compatible API. Change one URL, keep your existing code, and get complete cost visibility. The problem: AI API bills are unpredictable. Teams discover $500+ overruns only when the invoice arrives. There's no built-in way to track cost per feature, per team, or per customer across multiple LLM providers. How it works: Route your LLM calls through Tokonomics (one URL change — no SDK, no code rewrite). The proxy forwards requests to the upstream provider, streams responses back unchanged, and records every call — tokens, cost, model, latency. What you get: - Real-time cost dashboard with daily spend charts, model breakdown, and budget gauge - Budget alerts via email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams when spending hits 70%, 90%, or any custom threshold - Hard spending caps that block API calls when the monthly budget is exceeded — no more surprise bills - Per-feature cost tracking using custom tags (X-Metering-Tags header) — see what your chatbot costs vs your summarizer - AI cost optimization reports that detect expensive patterns: wrong model choice, output token waste, cost spikes - Support for 9+ LLM providers in one unified dashboard - Prompt cache tracking with per-provider discount calculation (OpenAI 50%, Anthropic 90%, Gemini 75%) - Works with any language, any framework, any HTTP client — PHP, Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, curl Built for SaaS founders, agencies, and automation builders (n8n, Make, Zapier, Flowise, Bubble) who need to know exactly what their AI features cost before the invoice arrives. Free plan: 100 API calls/month, 1 budget alert, 30-day retention. Pro plan: $49/month — unlimited calls, unlimited alerts, 90-day retention, hard caps, Slack/Teams alerts, cost optimization reports. 31ms average proxy overhead (3.6% on a typical LLM call).

Where it launched
2 platformsThe board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
