Accepted Answer

CodeLedger automatically classifies user vs. overhead token costs, categorizes coding sessions (e.g., generation, debugging), and provides evidence-based cost optimization recommendations with potential dollar savings, guiding you to smarter AI usage.

Question 3

Can I view my usage data in an interactive way?

Question 5

What key metrics does CodeLedger track that other tools don't?

Accepted Answer

CodeLedger uniquely provides per-agent token breakdowns, per-skill estimated attribution, automatic user vs. overhead cost classification, and session category classification. This granular detail, combined with optimization recommendations, sets it apart.
