For managed service providers

Offload the manual reconciliation. Add an AI cost service to your ARR.

The same AI cost decision engines that reconcile and attribute spend across your clients' AI & cloud workloads also become a new, recurring service line you sell, under your brand, at your margin.

About CloudIntelligence.ai

CloudIntelligence.ai is the company behind AICost.ai, CostOptimization.ai, and ToolsInfo.com. Founder Subu Vdaygiri launched Microsoft NCE products like Azure, AWS, and GCP for Ingram Micro's global cloud marketplaces, and built the CloudBlue data lake that reconciled bills and optimized costs for hundreds of MSPs and resellers. He brings that discipline to you directly, with products and hands-on MSP consulting.

At AICost.ai and our sister site CostOptimization.ai we provide the largest free toolset and knowledge base for your most complex cost issues: bill spiking and cost visibility, optimizing and reducing cost without losing quality, and planning a new AI workload accurately. For MSPs, we automate the laborious manual reconciliation and build custom, white-labeled capabilities you can sell under your brand as a new ARR line.

More than 100 AI cost decision engines cover every AI workload, from RAG to agentic loops to physical AI. Chain, mix, and drop them like lego blocks into your workflows via MCP, and stand up real-time AI cost monitoring and management within a day. You can also use them for ad-hoc AI cost calculations.

The manual work, automated

Stop reconciling AI & cloud bills by hand.

AI spend is scattered across gateways, model vendors, and cloud accounts, and it lands on your team to attribute, reconcile, and resolve. The engines do that as modular, callable components, per client.

Reconcile

Attribution across the estate

Ingest AI + cloud billing (AWS CUR, Azure, BigQuery) and attribute spend by client, feature, team, and workload, automatically, without the spreadsheet work.

Resolve

Spikes and anomalies, flagged

CostWall watches the money: budgets, daily caps, spike detection and a kill switch compiled into the gateway your clients already run.

Prove

CostProof ledger per client

A persistent, modeled-vs-actual ledger turns "we saved you money" into audit-grade evidence, the report that renews the contract.

White-label, live in a day

Your brand on top, our engine underneath.

Everything you need to run AI cost management as a service, with hard isolation between clients and proof that renews contracts.

Your brand, your keys

OAuth/SSO sign-in for your team, no key sharing. Issue and revoke client keys from the admin API: revocation lands in under 30 seconds, rotation is a single call.

Alerts into your PSA

Budget thresholds at 50, 80, and 100 percent plus spend-spike anomalies, HMAC-signed and delivered to ConnectWise, Autotask, Slack, or Teams. A breach becomes a ticket.

Hard tenant isolation

Every key scoped to one client, enforced at runtime and verified by an automated test gate. Per-tenant pricing markups and in-band branding are built in.

Proof that renews contracts

The reconcile Ledger and FOCUS-format export quantify realized savings per client every month, backed by nightly backups and a tamper-evident audit trail.

New revenue

Resell it as recurring services.

Every engine is a service you can package. Under your brand, priced your way, the same platform that saves your team hours becomes ARR across your book.

AI cost audit & optimization retainer

Monthly review of each client's AI workloads, routing, caching, batching, model right-sizing, delivered as a CostProof report. Recurring, defensible, and yours to price.

AI unit-economics & diligence

Offer the VC/PE-grade diligence engines to clients raising or acquiring, cost-claim stress-tests and burn-multiple analysis as a premium engagement.

Governance & shadow-AI control

Sell governance: budgets, guardrails, jurisdiction and compliance exposure across each client's AI estate, enforced in their gateway.

Tool-stack advisory (ToolsInfo)

Recommend compliant, integrated tool stacks for each client from a 491-field, 115K-tool discovery layer, HIPAA/SOC2 filters, integration and MCP readiness built in.

All of it runs on the same decision engines your clients can also self-serve directly. You add the expertise, the brand, and the accountability. Explore the decision engines →

Need it shaped to your stack? AICost tailors and extends these decision engines, and builds new ones, to fit the way your workflows run and to capture your specific AI cost-control and governance requirements.

Live in a day

Connect, protect, enforce, prove.

You change one thing, your gateway config. Most partners are live on their own the same day.

Connect

One URL in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Perplexity. Ask it what your AI costs. That is the install.

Protect

Set a firewall budget on one workload: caps, rate limits, an anomaly rule, and a kill switch, in your gateway's own config format.

Enforce

Paste it into LiteLLM or Cloudflare AI Gateway. Exceed the cap, get an HTTP 402. That is the runaway, stopped, in your traffic.

Prove

Feed your gateway or AWS, Azure, and GCP billing back in. Reconcile modeled versus actual and report what the savings really were.

Every stage of your AI journey

Wherever your AI projects are, we meet them there.

Most organizations don't run one AI project. They run many, at different stages. Some are still ideas. Some are in design. Some are in pilot. Some are being built into production. And some are finished yet stuck, unable to launch because the cost is unpredictable or the governance isn't signed off. AICost works at each stage.
