CostLLM Gateway Offers OpenAI-Compatible Cost Control for Developers
Indie developer launches CostLLM, an API gateway that sits between code and LLM providers to track usage, enforce budgets, and rate-limit per virtual key. It requires only a one-line change to switch from direct OpenAI calls. The tool supports models like DeepSeek and offers a free tier with $10 credit.

CostLLM addresses a real pain point for indie devs, but its reliance on a single developer and limited model support may limit enterprise adoption.
