API spend guardrail and runaway-cost recovery service for developers using cloud LLM APIs
A runtime cost-control and billing-dispute automation service that prevents unauthorized API overages before they hit accounts, detects anomalies in real time, and recovers wrongfully charged bills from cloud LLM providers.
The problem
Developers using Gemini, OpenAI, and Claude APIs face runaway bills from credential leaks, bot abuse, or misconfigured retry loops; cloud providers deny refunds or adjustment requests even when usage is clearly unauthorized, leaving small teams facing $50k-$200k+ unrecoverable charges.
Who has it: Seed to Series-B developer teams and small software companies using LLM APIs in production (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Cloud) deploying autonomous agents or high-volume inference without established cost controls.
Why now: LLM API adoption is accelerating; credential theft and accidental over-provisioning are now common; cloud providers have no incentive to refund or investigate, forcing developers to absorb losses or hire lawyers.
