About TryTokka
TryTokka is an AI API spend monitor for developers and small teams — one honest dashboard for what you’re spending across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter, with alerts before the bill, not after.
Why TryTokka exists
If you build with AI APIs, you know the feeling: you ship something, usage climbs, and the real number only shows up at the end of the month — as an invoice. By then it's too late to do anything about it.
Every provider has its own dashboard, its own billing page, its own way of showing cost. Checking four tabs to answer one simple question — “how much am I spending on AI right now?” — is exactly the kind of friction that makes people stop checking at all.
TryTokka collapses that into one number you can trust, across every provider you use, with a daily check-in and an alert the moment spend crosses a limit you set. That's the whole product. It isn't enterprise cloud FinOps — it's a focused tool for indie developers and small teams who just want their AI bills to stop being a surprise.
Who builds it
Samson — Founder
TryTokka is built and run by one developer who got tired of surprise AI bills and couldn't find a tool that was simple, honest, and respectful of the fact that API keys are sensitive. It's independent and self-funded. That means no investors to please and no incentive to hoard your data — the only way this works is if the product is genuinely useful and you choose to pay for it.

What we believe
Your keys stay encrypted
API keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment they reach our server, and decrypted only for the ~200ms it takes to read your billing usage. We never store, log, or return your keys. See the Security page for the full technical walkthrough.
We read billing, never prompts
TryTokka connects to your providers’ usage/billing endpoints only. We never see your prompts, completions, or any of your users’ data — just the dollar amounts.
Alerts before invoices
The whole point is to catch a spend spike this week — not when the invoice lands. Scout checks daily and emails you before you cross the limit you set.
