How do you track Hugging Face Inference API costs alongside other AI services?

Hey HF community! :waving_hand:

I’ve been working on several projects using Hugging Face Inference API alongside other AI tools (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), and I’ve hit a pain point - tracking all these costs in one place.

For my NLP pipeline, I’m using HF-hosted models for one stage and commercial APIs for another. When the monthly bills arrive, I struggle to understand the total cost per project.

I built a simple dashboard (AIBillingDashboard) to solve my own problem by visualizing all AI spending together, but I’m curious:

  1. How do YOU track Hugging Face costs alongside other AI services?
  2. Do you have any clever spreadsheet tricks or tools?
  3. Would a dedicated cost tracker that connects to multiple AI platforms be useful?

Not trying to pitch anything - genuinely wondering if others face this challenge and what solutions you’ve found!
