oncost collects usage data within minutes.

​
What oncost collects

  • Daily cost by model (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, etc.)
  • Token counts (input and output) per model
  • Cost-per-token trends over time

​
Subscription plan (optional)

After connecting, you can configure your Anthropic subscription plan so oncost tracks subscription costs alongside API usage. Go to Settings > Connections, click your Anthropic connection, and fill in the Subscription Plan section. Available plans:
PlanMonthly costSeat-based
Free$0No
Pro$20/monthNo
Team$25/seat/monthYes
EnterpriseCustomYes
For Team and Enterprise plans, enter the number of seats. For Enterprise, enter your custom monthly cost. When configured, oncost generates a subscription cost row each month and shows the full picture — subscription cost plus API usage — on the Anthropic provider detail page. This step is optional. If you skip it, oncost still tracks all API usage costs.

​
Tips

  • Separate API keys per environment (dev, staging, prod) to get per-environment cost breakdown
  • Separate keys per team to enable tag-based cost attribution
  • oncost shows cost-per-token trends in the AI Cost view under Spend
