CostHawkAi

The scoreboard for AI-native technical teams. See who's using AI, what they're shipping, and where the spend is going.

Your CFO is going to ask.

Most engineering leaders don't have the answer.

CostHawk shows you what the dev team shipped with AI, what it cost, and what drifted somewhere else.

Half a billion dollars in a month because no one was watching.

CostHawk was built for exactly this.

Don't be that company. Track your AI.

[Brian McCormick @bjmtweets]

A company spent $500M in a month on Claude because no one set a usage limit

[CostHawkAi @CostHawkAI]

Every dev team's AI spend is going up.

Most technical leaders can't tell you which of it is tied to the roadmap and which has drifted.

CostHawk can.

Uber burned through their entire 2026 AI budget in four months.

Their board is not happy. Half the engineering teams in this country are one quarter away from the same problem.

CostHawk is the answer. Real usage. Real output. Receipts your board can't argue with.

Codex usage is up 180% MoM. Claude Code is still leading, but the gap is closing.

A CFO's favorite question in 2026:
"What did we get for the $400K we spent on AI last quarter?"

A CTO's least favorite question in 2026:
"What did we get for the $400K we spent on AI last quarter?"

The 3-step CTO survival guide for 2026:

Step 1: Buy AI tools for the whole dev team.
Step 2: Don't track where the tokens are going.
Step 3: Hope your CFO never asks.

[CostHawkAi @CostHawkAI]

Half your dev team is shipping with AI. The other half could be.

CostHawk is the leaderboard that turns AI adoption into a team sport.

Your development team is using AI all day, every day.

You can see the bill. You can't see the work.

CostHawk shows you the work.

How to lose your CTO job in 3 easy steps:

1: Pay for AI tools across your dev team.
2: Don't measure what the tokens build.
3: Wait for your CFO to ask where the money went.

[Chase Dillingham @ChaseDillingham]

I built @CostHawkAI to track what AI agents actually cost. One command in Claude Code: "Show me my full usage and spend breakdown."

64,275 API calls. $249 across 3 providers. 6.3B tokens through Claude Code.

Retail equivalent? $12,960. I pay $200/mo for Claude Max.

Most devs have no idea where their tokens are going. One command to find out:

npm exec --yes costhawk@latest -- --login

Your AI spend is a black box. You know the total. You don't know the breakdown. That's how you end up overpaying for months without realizing it. Open it.

I've been building @CostHawkAI and I'm happy to keep it free. One thing the public leaderboard is showing pretty clearly right now: Codex is accelerating 17.1x faster than Claude Code this month. +1,266.8% MoM vs +74.0%. Codex 5.4 is very good.
