About ModelWallet

Making AI costs transparent, predictable, and optimizable for teams worldwide

Our Mission

AI is transforming how we build software, but the costs are opaque and unpredictable. We're on a mission to bring financial operations (FinOps) best practices to AI.

Every team should know exactly who's using AI, how much it costs, whether it's worth it, and how to optimize spending. That's why we built ModelWallet.

We believe that transparent, manageable AI costs will accelerate AI adoption and help teams build more sustainably.

🎯

Our Vision

A world where every team can afford to innovate with AI, without fear of runaway costs

The Problem We're Solving

Teams building with AI face unprecedented cost management challenges

😰

Cost Unpredictability

AI API costs can vary wildly based on usage patterns, making budgeting nearly impossible

🤷

No Attribution

Teams can't tell which projects, users, or features are driving costs

🚨

Surprise Bills

Companies discover runaway spending only at the end of the month, too late to act

📊

Fragmented Data

Using multiple AI providers means cost data is scattered across different dashboards

🔍

No Optimization Insights

Teams lack the data to understand which models offer the best cost-performance ratio

⚠️

No Guardrails

Without quotas and limits, a single bug or mistake can cost thousands of dollars
