Overview

Many developers use flat-rate subscriptions like Claude Max (100/mo)orOpenAIPro(100/mo) or OpenAI Pro (200/mo) without knowing if they’re actually saving money. CostHawk tracks your usage and calculates what you would have paid at retail rates, showing you the real ROI of your subscriptions.

​
How It Works

  2. Calculate Retail Cost - We apply current retail pricing to your usage
