We built SpendByTeam to turn a single AI coding invoice into a detailed ledger by team, project, branch and client, using the OpenTelemetry metrics your agents already emit. It’s a 2‑minute setup, free for up to three developers, and never sees your code or prompts. Try running npx spendbyteam init and let us know if anything breaks.
