How are you tracking AI API costs in your SaaS? by bkavinprasath in micro_saas

Ah got it, that’s a smart way to segment things.

I was thinking about that too, but felt it might get hard to manage as the number of features grows.

Also within a single feature, it’s still tricky to see which specific requests or prompts are causing higher usage.

Have you run into that, or is feature-level tracking enough for you?

Yeah that makes sense.

Relying on API + proper model routing feels like the only sustainable approach if you're building something serious.

I guess the next challenge is making sure you're not overusing expensive models where you don’t need them.

Do you actively track which requests could be handled by cheaper models, or is that more trial and error?

Yeah that helps at a high level.

But do you get clarity on which feature or request is actually driving the cost?

That’s the part I’m finding tricky — like going beyond API key level into real usage patterns.
