Product Idea from this Signal

A CLI dashboard that calculates real-time OpenClaw token spend across providers and finds the cheapest model path before the bill arrives

5.1k ▲

Anthropic just blocked flat-rate Claude subscriptions for OpenClaw users starting April 4, 2026. Developers who were paying $20/month are now facing $200-623/month API bills with no warning. The built-in /status command only shows the last response cost, not cumulative spend, and there is no way to compare what you would pay across providers. This tool reads your gateway logs, calculates actual token spend broken down by model, skill, and conversation, then shows what each session would cost under every billing option so you can switch before the surprise bill hits.
