VendorSpies watches AI pricing and rate limits around the clock—so your team sees the change before it reaches the invoice.
Every detected change — across every tracked AI vendor — lands here, on the public storefront, before it lands anywhere else. Sign up to receive alerts by email, or just watch the engine work.
No agents to install, no scrapers to maintain. Pick the vendors your stack relies on and let the surveillance begin — the entire loop below is automated.
Drop in OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or hand us your own vendor URL. The monitor starts polling their public pricing pages and rate-limit docs on the next cron tick.
From "every change" to "any increase above 5% on a tier you actually use," the alert engine drops the noise on the rest. Most teams start broad and tighten from there.
Realtime emails. A weekly digest. A live public feed showing every detected change — including the ones you have not subscribed to — so you can verify the engine is alive.
Cost dashboards tell you what you spent. VendorSpies tells you the moment a vendor changes the list price — before the next invoice reveals it.
