AI Meter
A floating desktop widget and dashboard that unifies quota and spend across every AI subscription you pay for (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot) and warns you before you hit a wall.
Power users, freelancers, and small teams juggling 3+ paid AI subscriptions
- Cross-service quota pull with explicit OAuth; shows 5-hour, weekly, and monthly windows side by side
- Burn-rate forecast that says 'at this pace you'll hit the cap Friday afternoon'
- Per-client or per-project allocation: tag a session, see which engagement is eating the budget
- Value-per-dollar score comparing output quality across tools using your own thumbs-up/down history
The quota-float repo (136 stars) signals real fatigue with per-tool walls; power users now juggle Codex, Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT and have no unified view.
Tokenkarma reports 25,000+ AI-heavy users, $66 avg monthly AI spend and 4 tools per subscriber; multiple OSS repos (ai-usage-monitor, AIQuotaBar) and Chrome extensions (QuotaMeter, AI Quota Tracker) confirm real pain around hitting per-tool walls.tokenkarma: ChatGPT & Claude Usage Tracker, Gemini, Cursor +100 more ↗GitHub - yagcioglutoprak/AIQuotaBar: See your Claude.ai and ChatGPT ↗
Market is already crowded with near-identical products: tokenkarma (Mac menu-bar 'island' + dashboard — same positioning), AI Quota Tracker, QuotaMeter Chrome extension, ai-usage-monitor, AIQuotaBar — all shipping exactly the floating-widget-plus-dashboard concept.tokenkarma: ChatGPT & Claude Usage Tracker, Gemini, Cursor +100 more ↗AI Quota Tracker - Unified Dashboard for LLMs ↗QuotaMeter - Chrome Web Store ↗
Willingness to pay is proven — tokenkarma runs a paid subscription (monthly + annual with 2 months free) and sells a 179 EUR hardware add-on; users already spend $66+/mo on AI, leaving room for a tracker add-on.tokenkarma: ChatGPT & Claude Usage Tracker, Gemini, Cursor +100 more ↗
AI subscriptions are expanding, not consolidating — new tiers (e.g. Anthropic Fable 5 with weekly caps), more per-model quotas and tighter windows keep the tracking problem alive; demand grows with each new plan.tokenkarma: ChatGPT & Claude Usage Tracker, Gemini, Cursor +100 more ↗
Trivial-to-build evidence: at least four shipped products (tokenkarma Mac app, QuotaMeter, AIQuotaBar menu-bar app, ai-usage-monitor) read provider endpoints and render dashboards, proving the integration paths work.GitHub - showf68/ai-usage-monitor ↗GitHub - yagcioglutoprak/AIQuotaBar ↗
