AI Spend Hub

Every AI dollar, tied to what it shipped.

Seats, tokens, models and agents across every AI tool in one executive view. Waydev connects AI cost to merged PRs, cycle time and quality, so you know where to scale and where to cut.

Signal: Cursor spend in Platform is rising while cycle time is flat. Review idle seats.
The Problem

AI budgets grew faster than anyone’s ability to explain them.

Spend lives in five invoices

Copilot seats, Cursor plans, Claude and OpenAI tokens and agent runs are billed separately. Nobody sees the total until finance asks.

Cost is not connected to output

A seat count tells you who has access, not what it produced. Without delivery data, renewal is a guess.

The board wants a number

Leadership asks what the AI program returned. Engineering answers with adoption charts instead of ROI.

What You Get

One view of AI cost, built on delivery data.

01

Unified AI cost

Seat, token, model and agent costs normalized across vendors into one ledger, by team, repo and month.

02

Cost per merged PR

The unit metric that matters: what each shipped change costs in AI spend, trended over time.

03

Blended AI ROI

AI spend compared against delivery gains measured with DORA, SPACE and cycle time baselines.

04

Idle seat detection

Find licenses with little or no usage and reallocate them before the next renewal.

05

Spend by model

See which models your teams and agents actually call, and what each one costs per outcome.

06

Executive reporting

A board ready summary of AI spend, adoption, impact and ROI, refreshed automatically.

FAQ

Questions engineering leaders ask

Which AI tools does the AI Spend Hub cover?
The AI Spend Hub brings seat, token, model and agent costs from tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Codex into one ledger, normalized across vendors and broken down by team, repo and month.
How is AI ROI calculated?
Waydev compares AI spend against delivery gains measured with DORA, SPACE and cycle time baselines, and tracks cost per merged PR over time. The result is a blended AI ROI tied to what actually shipped.
Do you need access to our source code?
No. Waydev reads engineering metadata through read-only APIs. Source code content is never ingested.
Can finance see this without an engineering login?
Yes. Executive reporting provides a board ready summary of AI spend, adoption, impact and ROI, refreshed automatically, so finance and leadership can follow the numbers without working inside engineering tools.
