The problem

Your providers send one number at the end of the month. It doesn't say which customers cost the most, which features are underwater, or whether AI spend is growing faster than revenue.

Lamdy turns that number into a ledger.

  1. 1

    Paste read-only keys

    Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Cursor, Deepgram or ElevenLabs. Lamdy reads billing data only. It never sends requests or adds cost to your account.

  2. 2

    See spend by provider, model, team and feature

    Daily breakdowns, model comparison, trends and month-end forecasts, without building a single dashboard.

  3. 3

    Connect Stripe. See which customers are profitable.

    Gross margin per customer and per feature. A key per customer works as is; for a shared key, turn on OpenRouter Broadcast or OpenTelemetry, or send a usage event per AI call.

What you get

Every AI dollar, accounted for. From the provider bill to the customer who caused it.

Know which customers are profitable. Revenue from Stripe next to the AI cost each customer drives. When every customer shares one API key, turn on OpenRouter Broadcast, point your OpenTelemetry traces at Lamdy, or send one small event per AI call. Lamdy prices each call at your real billed rates and never stores prompts.

Managed spend is the AI provider spend Lamdy monitors — not Lamdy's price.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is managed AI spend?

Managed spend is the total AI provider spend that Lamdy monitors across your connected accounts. It's what you pay OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. — not what you pay Lamdy. If your OpenAI bill is $3,000/mo, that's $3K in managed spend.

Do I need to change my code?

Not for spend. Lamdy connects to your provider accounts using read-only keys and reads billing and usage data only — spend by provider, model, project and API key, alerts, forecasts and savings need no SDK, no proxy and no code changes. Lamdy never sends requests to your AI providers or incurs costs on your account.

Do I need code changes to see margin per customer?

No, if each customer has their own API key or workspace: an Attribution rule maps it to the customer, and with Stripe connected you see that customer's margin. If customers share one key, Lamdy can split cost per customer from usage your app sends: turn on OpenRouter Broadcast, point an OpenTelemetry exporter at Lamdy, or send one small request per AI call. Prompts and responses are never stored.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Lamdy uses read-only credentials and never stores prompt or response content. We only read billing metadata: dates, models, token counts, and costs. API keys are encrypted at rest and never displayed after initial entry.

How is Lamdy different from observability tools?

Observability tools like Langfuse and LangSmith track request-level traces, latency, and prompt quality. Lamdy tracks dollars: what you spend, where it goes, and whether it's profitable. We connect AI costs to Stripe revenue to show margins. Observability tells you how your AI works. Lamdy tells you whether it's making money.

Can I use Lamdy with my AI gateway?

Yes. Lamdy reads billing from Vercel AI Gateway and OpenRouter, as well as OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Cursor, Deepgram and ElevenLabs. Google Gemini, Together AI and Fireworks AI are coming with the Lamdy SDK.

What happens if I exceed my managed spend limit?

Nothing breaks. Lamdy will notify you and suggest upgrading. Your dashboard keeps working. We don't cut off your data.

About

Why I'm building Lamdy

I studied physics and chemistry before computer programming — I like being precise about what's actually true, not what looks true. That habit followed me into building with AI: I was running things across several providers, and more than once a key ran dry mid-project with no real sense of which provider was even worth paying for.

I didn't have a good answer to a simple question: is this AI spend working, or just adding up? So I built a way to see it — cost next to what it was actually producing. Lamdy is that tool, built for myself first, now open for anyone asking the same question.
