Usage Panda — Monitor OpenAI API Costs & Usage
Usage Panda is an API monitoring and cost tracking platform for businesses using OpenAI services
Usage Panda provides real-time monitoring and analytics for OpenAI API usage to help teams maintain control over their AI spend. This platform is designed specifically for business owners and developers who need to track multiple API keys, monitor request logs, and forecast monthly expenses accurately. By using a proxy-based tracking system, Usage Panda captures detailed data on every request sent to OpenAI without requiring complex code changes. The tool provides deep visibility into which specific models or projects are driving costs within a company in 2026. Users can access historical data for up to twelve months, allowing for long-term trend analysis and budget planning. Usage Panda also includes a notification system that alerts managers when usage reaches specific thresholds, preventing unexpected billing surprises at the end of the month. Business teams found on surfai.app use these insights to optimize their token consumption and identify inefficient prompts that may be wasting budget. The dashboard offers a centralized view of usage metrics that the standard OpenAI dashboard often lacks, such as per-key breakdowns and granular request history. This level of detail is essential for agencies managing API costs across multiple client accounts or startups scaling their AI features. Usage Panda operates on a freemium model with a generous free tier for small projects and subscription plans for higher volume enterprise needs. Higher tiers offer longer data retention and advanced filtering capabilities for high-traffic applications.
