Why I Built Costbase
After years of building AI-powered applications, I watched teams repeatedly hit the same problem: LLM costs that scale faster than revenue.
Most companies use GPT-4 for everything when GPT-4o-mini handles 80% of queries at 1/20th the cost. They pay full price for semantically identical requests. They have zero visibility until the monthly bill arrives.
Costbase fixes this with intelligent routing, semantic caching, and real-time cost visibility. No markup fees. Your keys, your control.
