What is the difference between LLM cost monitoring and simple provider billing views?
LLM cost monitoring combines pricing with project attribution, request volume, latency, errors, and operational context instead of showing invoice totals only.

LLM Cost Monitoring: Track Spend by Project
Monitor LLM costs, usage, latency, errors, and request logs by project, provider, and workspace with one operational dashboard.

What to measure
| Metric | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Cost per project/workspace | Find ownership and prevent hidden cross-team overruns. |
| Cost per request and per user | Track unit economics for AI features and copilots. |
| Latency + error rate | Prevent low-cost routing choices from hurting reliability. |
| Provider/model mix | Identify expensive defaults and routing opportunities. |
