Scout is waking up…
Updates
Dated, public notes on what shipped. For live incident notices see system status.
Named production compute region (Vercel iad1), published a 90-day encryption-key rotation policy, listed disaster-recovery backups as subprocessors, and added deletion receipts in Settings. No SOC 2 or pentest claimed.
Connect xAI directly with a Management key. Scout reads team USD usage from the Management API (reported cost, beta). OpenRouter still covers Grok when you route through OpenRouter.
Expanded /docs into quickstart → Scout → connections → alerts → spike → team (security and kill-switch stay canonical). Added a real-fact proof strip under the hero, Models/Research in More, per-provider connect guides, and a Pricing → Compare step before the FAQ.
Added /docs as a documentation entry hub (links existing setup, security, and compare pages). Pricing now includes a Free · Solo · Team compare-plans table. Homepage puts the three-step loop earlier; FAQ and answer copy unchanged.
Compare now names Helicone, Portkey, and LiteLLM as request-path tools versus TryTokka’s billing reader. A kill-switch guide states Hobby Scout cadence (~daily email, not a traffic cut).
Restored /gpt-vs-claude-pricing and /ai-api-monthly-budget-calculator as full GEO landings (QuickAnswer, FAQ, HowTo) instead of redirects, and listed them on /guides and the sitemap.
Added an AI API spend-alert cheat sheet plus Anthropic Claude and GPT-4o cost calculator alias landings for search and backlink growth.
Published a linkable OpenAI + Claude $/1M token reference table for citations and backlinks, wired into guides, tools, and the sitemap.
Added /guides crawl hub, Definition/WorkflowLinks/RelatedTools + HowTo on free tools, calculator alias landings, and /.well-known/security.txt.
Added multi-model batch and spike-risk estimators, shareable URLs on the comparer and projector, and Datadog LLM / TruLens / Phoenix alternative landings.
Added OpenAI vs Claude comparer, monthly spend projector, shareable calculator URLs (?model=&in=&out=), and Braintrust/CloudZero alternative pages.
Shipped a public OpenAI/Claude token cost calculator under /tools, LangSmith and PromptLayer alternative landings, homepage intent links, a compare matrix, and image hints in the sitemap.
Added Portkey and LiteLLM alternative guides, expanded provider intent pages, per-article social cards, and this public changelog for search freshness.
Widget tokens are stored as SHA-256 hashes. The raw token is shown only once on create or rotate — same posture as API key handling.
Billing calendar now stacks months with color-filled coverage for trial, paid, and free periods from the plan-history ledger.
GitHub Actions can trigger Scout fleet sync up to four times per day so free-tier hosts get more than a single daily cron.
Published guides for Gemini and OpenRouter cost tracking plus shared-team spend visibility.
Added Cursor cost-tracking guidance and an honest comparison of TryTokka vs TrackCost vs Helicone.
Launched the first wave of public guides for OpenAI spend tracking, Anthropic Claude costs, and surprise-bill prevention.
