OpenAI Cost Management

More Than OpenAI's Usage Dashboard

OpenAI's dashboard shows total spend. We show you which clients are spending it. Attribute costs automatically, set budget alerts, and export for billing.

What OpenAI's Dashboard Doesn't Show You

The native dashboard is great for totals, but agencies need more.

OpenAI Dashboard Limitations

OpenAI's usage dashboard shows your total spend, but not which project, client, or use case is driving costs. When bills spike, you're left guessing.

No Multi-Client Attribution

If you're building AI for multiple clients, OpenAI doesn't tell you who's using what. Manual tracking means spreadsheets and guesswork.

Model Cost Opacity

GPT-4o costs 15x more than GPT-3.5. Without model-level breakdowns tied to projects, you can't optimize where it matters.

OpenAI Cost Tracking Built for Agencies

Everything the native dashboard is missing.

Client-Level Attribution

Map OpenAI projects to clients automatically. Every token, every dollar, attributed to the right client for accurate billing.

Model-Level Breakdown

See exactly what you're spending on GPT-4o vs GPT-4 Turbo vs GPT-3.5. Identify optimization opportunities per project.

Daily Cost Trends

Track spending patterns over time. Catch anomalies early - a spike yesterday might be a runaway prompt loop.

Budget Alerts

Set cost thresholds per client or globally. Get notified before costs exceed limits so you can take action.

Usage Analytics

Beyond just costs - see token counts, request volumes, and model distribution to understand usage patterns.

Billing-Ready Exports

Export cost data by client and date range. Perfect for passing through AI costs to clients accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect my OpenAI account?
You create an API key in OpenAI with billing read permissions and add it to Administrate. We pull your usage data daily. Your existing workflows continue unchanged - we just read billing data.
Does this work with OpenAI's organization/project structure?
Yes. We pull your OpenAI projects and let you map each to a client in Administrate. If you use multiple organizations, you can connect each separately.
What about GPT-4o and the newer models?
We support all OpenAI models including GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4, GPT-3.5 Turbo, DALL-E, Whisper, and embeddings. New models are supported automatically.
How accurate is the cost data?
We pull directly from OpenAI's usage API, so costs match what you see in their dashboard. There's typically a 24-48 hour delay as OpenAI makes usage data available.
Can I track other LLM providers too?
Yes. Beyond OpenAI, we support Anthropic (Claude), Azure OpenAI, and OpenRouter. All providers show in one unified dashboard with the same client attribution.
What if I use one OpenAI organization for multiple clients?
We recommend using OpenAI's projects feature to separate usage by client. If you can't, consider creating separate API keys per client - we can track each independently.
