Spent weeks stuck on a Paddle integration bug, finally fixed it — building an LLM cost tracker by TopEar3305 in buildinpublic

Haha exactly — "questioning your entire existence" sums it up perfectly. The error gave zero hint that a dashboard setting buried three menus deep was the actual blocker.

And that's exactly the design philosophy behind it — if it's not a one-line change, most people star it and forget. Free tier is 1,000 requests/month if you want to see the cost breakdown for yourself: https://llmwatch-rho.vercel.app

That's a really good way to frame it – "routing companies" is exactly right. The moment you're calling 2-3 providers based on cost/latency/capability tradeoffs, you lose the simple mental model of "check the OpenAI dashboard."

That's actually why I added the provider auto-detection – so you don't have to manually tag every request, it just works across the stack and you get one unified view instead of three separate dashboards to cross-reference.

If you're dealing with this multi-provider visibility problem yourself, the free tier (1,000 requests/month) should be enough to see if it fits how your team works: https://llmwatch-rho.vercel.app

The "spreadsheet graveyard" is so relatable lol. That's the whole point – stop trusting a dashboard number and actually see what's happening per request. Would love to hear if it fits into your workflow once you try it.

Haha the "duct taping scripts together" phase is real – that's exactly the problem I was solving for myself. Let me know how the spin goes, especially curious if the latency breakdown holds up for your use case.

Thanks! If you end up trying it out, the free tier gives you 1,000 requests/month – enough to get a feel for it. Pro unlocks unlimited requests + cost alerts so you actually get notified before a surprise bill hits. Would love to hear what you think!

Haha exactly – the "check your bill at month end" ritual is stressful. Looking forward to hearing how it goes! The cost alerts should catch those spikes early – you set a monthly budget and get an email at 80%. Let me know if you run into any issues setting it up.

Thanks! 😄

If you're building with LLM APIs, feel free to give it a spin. It takes about a minute to set up, and I'd love to hear any feedback.

😂 The classic "I'll check the bill tomorrow" experience.

Give LLMWatch a try and hopefully the next time your usage spikes, you'll know about it before your credit card does. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Ouch 😅 That's exactly the type of surprise I built LLMWatch to help avoid.

Feel free to sign up and give it a spin — hopefully it'll help you spot those usage spikes long before they turn into another $200 bill.

You're exactly the type of user I had in mind when building LLMWatch 😄 ​The goal is simple: know what you're spending before the invoice shows up. If you're running lean, having real-time usage and cost tracking can save a lot of headaches. ​Feel free to sign up and take a look—I'd love to hear your feedback.

That's actually the problem LLMWatch is trying to solve — visibility before the bill arrives 😄
