Quick answers

When should I pick TryTokka over an observability proxy?

When your pain is surprise invoices and multi-provider spend — not prompt logging or latency traces. TryTokka reads billing APIs; it does not sit in the request path.

Does TryTokka replace OpenAI or Anthropic billing dashboards?

No. Keep provider consoles for invoices and org settings. Use TryTokka for one combined spend number and threshold emails after Scout sync.

Is TryTokka real-time?

No. Scout syncs about once a day by default, or immediately when you click Sync now. Alerts email after the next successful check — usually within ~24h on Hobby hosting.
