# The Financial Layer of AI.

See, control, and prove every dollar your AI spends.

[Start free](https://platform.recovea.ai/signup)[See the proof](https://recovea.ai/proof/)Free is cardless.

Your provider keys stay yours: sealed, bound to your workspace, never written to a log. [How keys are held](https://recovea.ai/trust/)

Works with the providers you already call:

- OpenAI
- and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint

## We sit between your app and your provider.

Your app

Cap

Your provider

One base URL puts every call on this path: metered as it happens, held to the cap you armed, receipted into the ledger, and forwarded to the provider. Leaving is the same one line.

[Protect your spend](https://platform.recovea.ai/signup)

Four things happen on every call:

### Meter

Live

Sample month

- claude-sonnet-4-5$42.41
- gpt-4.1$31.01
- claude-haiku-4-5$12.84
- 3 more models$4.05

Today$90.31

Every call is priced as it happens, and booked to the key that made it.

Point one base URL at Recovea and the meter starts. Every call is costed against a frozen price list. Your keys, your provider accounts and your code stay unchanged.

Armed

Agent runner · daily $199.98 of $200.00

insufficient_quota

An armed cap sits in the request path, so the call that would cross it is refused before it is forwarded.

Set a ceiling and arm it. The next call over the line is refused with a 402 your code can branch on. The kill-switch is the second brake, on every plan.

### Breaker

Run

Sample month

run_b3b6…4b87 Declared $240.00

$239.98 spent

- /v1/chat/completions402

budget_exceeded

A Recovea Breaker is a budget one run carries: $240.00. It trips at that line, and stays tripped until a person starts a new run.

Only the calls that name a run in a header carry a Breaker. It tightens the caps above it, never loosens them, and stops that run, not your key and not the runs beside it.

Export

Every call writes a receipt into a hash-linked chain that anyone can check without trusting us.

A receipt is written for every call, on every plan, Free included. The chain is published with its recipe, so you can export it and re-derive every hash in your own browser.

The ledger

Every call leaves a row carrying the hash of the row before it.

The refusal

Alerts are not caps. Refused before your provider is called.
