Indie dev builds LLM Cost Guardian to catch per-feature cost spikes in OpenAI/Claude usage

An indie developer on Reddit is seeking feedback on LLM Cost Guardian, a tool that detects unusual cost spikes in OpenAI and Claude usage. Features: a cost dashboard (daily/monthly token and spend trends), feature-level cost breakdown via an SDK — official dashboards only show org-level usage, while this pins down which feature caused a spike — and smart hourly alerts using statistical plus AI/ML anomaly detection. The claimed USP is per-feature alerting and hourly granularity.
