How to Track OpenRouter Spending
Spend adds up quietly — especially when switching between cheap and expensive models across projects.
What to watch
Daily spend trends tell you if today is normal. Per-model breakdowns show which model is eating credits.
- Daily spend vs. your usual baseline
- Per-model cost share
- Activity over the last 30 UTC days
Where to see it
The OpenRouter dashboard has full activity logs. OpenRouter Widget surfaces daily spend and model breakdowns on your Home Screen — useful for catching a spike before it drains your balance.
