For people using Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode at work
API-equivalent cost for the team over the last 30 days
Illustrative example. Your numbers depend on your local logs. The board interface is in Portuguese for now.
See what each project, person and model costs, and which subscription does not pay for itself. The API-equivalent figure comes from the logs your tools already write on your machine: no proxy, no SDK, no code leaving your laptop.
Real finding: a US$ 100 a month subscription had returned US$ 5.92 of usage. That is US$ 1,128.96 a year nobody was seeing.
pip install kostriaccusage and Tokscale are great for one person in a terminal. Claude's own dashboard only sees Claude. None of them closes the books for a whole team.
Of the 8 items in this table, Kostria has 7. The best alternative has 3.

Each machine on the team runs kostria sync; the board puts everything in one place.
The board compares what each plan costs with what the usage would be worth at pay-per-token prices, separates personal payers from company payers, and records the decision before the renewal.
The suggested switch is always between models of the same tier. No swapping a small model in for a big one and calling it savings.
By person, project, commit area and ticket ID, with no spreadsheets to merge. Each person chooses which projects the team can see.
It does, and the difference is shown. The board says how much went to each project and how much has no confirmed project, instead of hiding the remainder.
No proxy, no SDK, no code sent to the cloud. The first number shows up in seconds. The report labels are still in Portuguese.
The engine runs on your machine and the report is yours. The board is optional: an aggregate only goes up once you connect a machine, and it fits in this list.
In a personal workspace: totals per project, day, commit area and ticket ID, plus the dimensions and the masked subscriptions. In a team: only the projects each person chose to show.
No code snippet, no prompt, no model response. No file path, branch name or AI account e-mail. The raw session never leaves the disk.
kostria scan analyzes everything on your machine, no account needed. By default it sends an anonymous install ping and checks the version on PyPI; --no-telemetry turns both off. The report stays local as HTML, JSON, CSV or Markdown.
Three active AI subscriptions, US$ 320 a month in total. The board showed that one of them, US$ 100 a month, had returned US$ 5.92 of API-equivalent usage over the period. The other two returned 38× and 84× what they cost: the problem was not subscribing, it was which subscription. On August 14, 2026, the number showed up on the first screen, in dollars per year.
Prices in Brazilian reais (BRL), because checkout is in reais. On paid plans, 7 days of full-refund guarantee. If Kostria does not help you review costs and subscriptions, ask for the refund in that window, no reason needed.

No. It reads the usage logs your AI tools already write on your machine and sends the board only aggregate numbers. Code, prompts and responses never leave the disk.
Yes. Kostria shows the API-equivalent value of the usage and compares it with the plan price. That is how the subscription that does not pay for itself shows up.
No. kostria scan runs locally and generates the report without an account. The board is for putting the machines and the team together.
Yes, on Windows, macOS and Linux, including without admin rights.
Each dashboard sees its own tool. A team uses several on the same day, and comparing across them, by project and by ticket, is how you decide where to cut. Kostria puts it all together and shows where each number came from.
Nothing, unless you opt in. If you opt in under Account, you appear on tokenranking.online with a nickname or the name you choose, country and field if you want, plus tokens and API value for the period. Never an e-mail, project or repository. Without a subscription your name is shown partly masked and only Claude Code counts; with Pro or Team you get your full name, photo, a link and all tools. You can leave whenever you want.
On paid plans you have 7 days to ask for a full refund, no reason needed. After that, cancel whenever you want.
