For finance, FinOps, and ops leaders

Get every AI dollar on one ledger without filing an engineering ticket

ClawPipe gives finance teams a real-time view of every AI dollar spent — with budget caps, per-team breakdowns, and weekly digests. Your engineers already use it. You just turn on governance.

No code. No SDK. Connect your team's workspace in 5 minutes.

The problem

AI bills arrive fast. Answers come slow.

Your OpenAI and Anthropic invoices keep climbing. When you ask engineering why, you wait a week for a Looker export — if it exists.

Unpredictable spend

One launch, one viral feature, and the bill doubles. No way to cap before it happens.

No team-level view

The bill is one line item. You can't tell who ships the feature that costs 40% of the bill.

No way to enforce policy

You ask engineering to "use cheaper models". Then you wait, hope, and watch next month's bill.

FinOps questions

Do I need engineering buy-in?
Yes — but minimally. Engineering swaps one environment variable (the provider API key). No code changes, no deploys beyond that.
Can we still use our existing OpenAI/Anthropic contracts?
Yes. ClawPipe sits in front of your existing provider accounts. Your enterprise rates, pre-paid credits, and BAAs remain in place.
How does billing data flow to our finance systems?
Export CSV or JSON on any schedule. SAML-based SSO + role-based access means only approved finance users see spend data. SOC 2 Type II readiness on request.
Does ClawPipe see our prompts or user data?
No. Prompt content is never logged. Only metadata (token counts, cost, model, team) is tracked. Cache uses SHA-256 hashes.
What happens when a team hits their budget cap?
You choose: hard stop (requests fail with a budget error), soft alert (requests continue but notify finance + team lead), or auto-downgrade (route to cheaper model until cap resets).
What's the free tier really?
1,000 requests/day across all features, forever. Enough to audit your current spend and prove ROI before any conversation about paid tiers.
