Fine-grained AI usage metering, tied to customers
Track AI and vector usage across providers, clouds, and services. Normalize it into a clean event ledger so product, finance, and ops can make decisions with real unit economics.
Customer and SKU mapping
Every event ties back to the account, workspace, API key, endpoint, and the SKU that drove it.
Across providers and infra
LLMs, vector stores, storage, and internal services recorded under one schema.
Ledger you can trust
Immutable, queryable records designed to hold up when finance and ops ask hard questions.
What we meter
The details you need to price fairly and debug spikes
Enough granularity to drive billing and product decisions without turning into a dashboard graveyard.
How it works
Meter → Normalize → Attribute → Export
A clean pipeline that keeps engineering fast and keeps finance sane.
Instrument
Capture model calls, tokens, vector queries, storage reads and writes, plus internal service signals.
Normalize
Translate provider-specific units into a stable event schema and compute cost consistently.
Attribute
Map events to customer, workspace, API key, endpoint, and SKU with strong ownership rules.
Export
Send usage to billing, data warehouses, or invoices while keeping an immutable ledger.
Why it matters
Metering is the foundation for billing and control
Without metering, you guess. With metering, you can price, limit, audit, and reconcile.
Usage-based plans that stay profitable
Price per unit, set margins, and stop subsidizing heavy customers without realizing it.
Feature and model decisions with real cost
Know what each workflow costs before you roll it out to every customer.
Investigate spikes without hand-waving
Trace usage back to customers and endpoints when spend changes fast.
Records that hold up
Usage history that supports invoices, reconciliation, and month-end workflows.
Stop guessing who your AI spend belongs to
If you are shipping AI to customers, you need clean metering before pricing and billing can work. BirdyFoot gives you a usage ledger you can build on.
