Cost & Adoption

See what your organization pays for LLM usage, its value at API list price, and which teams use their seats.

In the console: Activity › Cost & Adoption

The Cost & Adoption screen

This screen shows what your organization pays for LLM usage, what that usage would cost at API list price, and who is using it. Use it to compare subscription seats with metered API spend and to find teams that leave their seats idle.

Filters

A date range picker and a filter bar sit above the panels and apply to the whole page. The date range offers presets from Last 1h to This year, or a custom range.

The filter bar offers Telemetry provider, Model, Auth mode, User, Group and Agent. Agent Instance and Model provider appear when the AI gateway is turned on for your organization.

The totals and Spend vs. API-equivalent ignore the Model, Agent, Agent Instance and Model provider filters, because those can't scope a seat. The page shows a note when one of them is set. The team panels stay organization-wide and ignore the User filter.

Overview

The Overview tab holds every panel. The Budgets tab is marked Soon and can't be opened.

PanelShows
Real SpendMetered API-key spend plus seat cost; compared with the previous period once seat pricing is set
API-EquivalentThe value of all usage at API list price
Subscription SavingsThe value seats captured beyond their cost
Spend vs. API-equivalentTwo bars: Value of usage at API list price and What you actually pay
Spend Over Time (USD)Spend across the selected range
Cost by teamActive and idle seats, then a table of teams, a scatter of adoption against cost, and seat usage per person
Model mix by teamAPI-equivalent spend per model family for each team
Token economicsCache-hit rate and Blended cost, with each token type's share of cost
Top Users by API-Equivalent (USD)The users with the highest API-equivalent spend; a name opens that user's profile
Top Models by API-Equivalent (USD)The models with the highest API-equivalent spend

Without seat pricing, Real Spend counts metered API-key spend only and Subscription Savings shows no value.

The Cost by team table has these columns:

ColumnShows
TeamThe group
SeatsSeats in the team
ActiveActive users in the team
AdoptionActive users as a share of seats
Real $The team's real spend; API spend only without seat pricing
$ / active userReal spend divided by active users

Below the table, the panel names the teams under 50% adoption. It counts CLI telemetry only, so confirm a web-first team's usage before you reclaim its seats.

With no spend in the range, the page shows No LLM usage yet and a Go to Telemetry link to Discovery Sources.

Actions

  • Configure pricing – opens the subscription pricing settings, where you set seat prices. The Configure seat pricing links in the panels open the same settings.

Permissions

The screen appears with view_llm_analytics for the whole organization. A grant scoped to your own data shows Cost data unavailable instead of figures.

  • Configure pricing – needs manage_seat_pricing.
  • Model provider filter – needs view_inference and the AI gateway turned on.
  • Agent Instance filter – needs the AI gateway turned on.
  • Opening a user from Top Users by API-Equivalent (USD) – needs view_users.
