AI Cost Intelligence
See Exactly Where Every AI Dollar Goes
AI is the fastest-growing line item on your cloud bill. Terrain monitors token-level costs across every major AI provider, giving you the same depth of intelligence for AI spend that you get for traditional cloud.
Model-Level Cost Breakdown
See costs per model (Claude, GPT-4o, Llama) across Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and Vertex AI. Compare cost-per-token across providers in real time.
Token Usage Analytics
Track input vs. output token consumption by application, team, and feature. Identify prompt patterns that drive unnecessary spend.
AI Vendor Comparison
Automatically compare costs for equivalent models across providers. Know whether Bedrock or direct API access is cheaper for your usage pattern.
AI Cost Forecasting
ML-powered predictions for AI spend based on usage trends. Get alerts before token budgets are exhausted or costs spike unexpectedly.
Supported AI Providers
> How much are we spending on AI APIs this month and which team is driving it?
Analysis Complete:
Total AI spend this month: $47,230
Top spenders: ML Platform team ($28,400 / 60%) via Anthropic Claude 3.5, Customer Support team ($12,100 / 26%) via OpenAI GPT-4o, R&D ($6,730 / 14%) via AWS Bedrock.
Optimization Found:

Your Guide
Built by Someone Who Lived Your Problem
"I spent 20 years helping the world's largest enterprises turn data and AI investments into business results -- at Google Cloud, Cloudera, and Hortonworks. The one problem I saw everywhere: teams had dashboards, not answers. They could see costs going up, but couldn't explain why, couldn't quantify the business impact, and couldn't get actionable recommendations to leadership fast enough. That's why I built Terrain."
