Know what AI actually costs your organization
Every seat, every tool, every model — rolled up by team and traced back to the tool’s own logs. Ironcept gives finance a number it can defend and engineering leaders a view they can act on.
One number for finance
Committed spend, live spend and month-end forecast, reconciled against each vendor invoice.
Adoption you can prove
Who is actually using the tools you bought, how often, and which seats sit idle.
Shadow AI, surfaced
Personal-tier accounts and unapproved tools running on company machines, flagged early.
Privacy by design
Metadata only. No prompts, no completions, no source code ever leaves the machine.
Everything an organization needs to monitor AI spend — and nothing it shouldn't
Six domains, collected from each tool's own logs and rolled up across every seat.
Spend & budget
- Live and final cost per day, week, month and quarter
- Month-end forecast against a set budget
- Cost per seat, per team, per cost centre
- Subscription vs. metered API spend, side by side
- Chargeback and showback exports for finance
Tokens & models
- Input, output, cached and reasoning tokens
- Token volume and cost per model
- Cache-hit rate and the spend it saved
- Model mix over time — where premium models are used
- Cost per 1M tokens, by tool and by team
Tools & accounts
- Every AI coding tool detected, CLI and desktop
- Account tier per tool — free, pro, team, enterprise
- Personal accounts used on company machines
- Unapproved or newly appeared tools
- Version and agent health per install
Usage & adoption
- Active seats vs. licensed seats, weekly and monthly
- Sessions per engineer and average session length
- Idle and never-activated seats to reclaim
- Adoption by team, office and start date
- Usage by repository and by project
Alerts & controls
- Budget thresholds per team, with owner notified
- Anomaly alerts on unusual daily spend or token burn
- New-tool and new-tier detection alerts
- Slack, Teams and email delivery
- Weekly digest to engineering and finance leads
Governance & reporting
- Role-based access — admin, finance, team lead, viewer
- Audit log of every admin action and export
- Configurable retention per region
- Scheduled CSV and API exports to your warehouse
- Board-ready monthly summary
What Ironcept never collects: prompts, completions, file contents, source code, diffs, or keystrokes. Repository names are optional and can be hashed org-wide before they ever leave a machine.
Three levels of the same truth
Org overview
Spend, forecast, seats and tool mix for the whole company.
Team detail
Per-team cost, seat activity and model mix, owned by the team lead.
Session ledger
Every session, traceable to the tool log it came from.
| SEAT | TOOL | COST |
|---|---|---|
| a.mehta | claude code | $4.18 |
| j.okafor | codex | $2.05 |
| l.chen | claude code | ~$0.91 |
Enough to satisfy security. Nothing your engineers would object to.
The agent reads log metadata written by tools your teams already run. It never proxies traffic, never inspects code, and never sits between an engineer and their model.
Metadata only
Tool, model, timestamps, token counts, cost, tier. That's the whole payload.
Engineer visibility
Every engineer sees exactly what their machine reports, in the same dashboard.
Retention you set
Choose how long session records live, per region, with hard deletion.
Your warehouse
Scheduled exports and a read API so the data lands where your reporting lives.
Deployed in an afternoon
Connect your directory
SAML or OIDC sign-in, SCIM to keep seats and teams in sync.
Push the agent
Signed macOS and Windows packages, silent install via your MDM.
Set budgets and owners
Thresholds per team, alert routes to Slack, Teams or email.
Report from day one
Dashboards populate as agents check in; exports available immediately.
Priced for the whole org
One dashboard across every engineer, billed per seat. Tell us how your team is set up and we'll come back with pricing and a rollout plan.
