Clawgate checks every request, applies your rules, and records the cost before a single token is billed. Here is everything it does.
Limits are checked before each request runs, so spend simply cannot go over what you set. Cap usage per person, and set an all-time spend ceiling per project.
When a cap is hit, the request is blocked with a clear message, not a silent retry. Owners are never surprised by the bill.
If a request asks for a model you don’t allow, Clawgate quietly serves the best allowed model instead of failing. Your team keeps working, and you keep control of cost.
Claude Code picks a model on its own, and that choice drives your cost. Clawgate puts the decision back in your hands, so you can serve lower-cost models when full power isn’t needed.
Every request is tied to a project and a user. No more one big number on the invoice. See exactly where the spend goes, and stop paying for side projects.
x-project-idCost is tracked to the micro-dollar for each model, including separate cache rates, so the numbers are exact, not estimated.
Detailed events follow your plan’s retention (7 days to unlimited). Monthly summaries are kept for good, so your invoices and history survive even on shorter plans.
Track tokens, cost, latency, and sessions as they happen. Export to CSV (Team+) for your own analysis and chargeback.
Clawgate fingerprints request content with privacy-safe hashes, never raw code, to flag suspicious patterns for your review.
Signals are scored low, medium, or high and sent to a review queue. They are never enforced automatically. You decide what to do. Scan frequency scales with your plan, up to nightly.
Platform fees and per-seat fees are shown clearly at billing time. The AI cost stays pure pass-through, cache savings reach you, and failed requests are never billed.
Monthly invoice snapshots with per-model and per-user breakdowns. Control who can do what with roles and permissions.
