Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We are the team behind. Recost.
We built this after seeing teams inadvertently blow through API budgets.
At a hackathon, a team shipped a feature that had ~200 concurrent API requests. It worked perfectly… until their API key was revoked. No visibility. No warning. Everything is just shutting down.
Recost gives you a cost intelligence layer for your APIs, so you can see and control costs before they become a problem.
What does Recost do?
🔍 Static analysis (VS code extension)
Traces API calls in your codebase.
Map endpoints for files, functions, and features
Levels cost risks before runtime
Detection is still improving as we expand coverage across frameworks and edge cases.
💸 Cost attribution
Cost per endpoint, provider, and feature
See what is actually spending.
⚡ Runtime Tracking (Python SDK)
Direct application volume, delay and cost
Real-time synchronization on the dashboard
🚨 Waste detection
Duplicate calls, loops, polling problems
Tips to reduce costs
📈 Forecast

What is going to happen next?
Why we made it
Every part of engineering has visibility.
Enrollment matrix. Errors
There is no API cost.
Recost shows the cost at the same level as your code.

We’re building fast and want real feedback.
We’re also building it in the open, feel free to check it out or contribute on GitHub.https://github.com/recost-dev).
Where do API costs feel most unpredictable right now?
