If you use Claude Code, there are plenty of projects/tools that let you see what your usage would have cost at API rates, then you can cross-reference that to your "usage" in Claude. I run through enough token in a few days for the subscription to pay for itself.

But I agree that advertised visibility into this would be nice, so we could compare the different providers up-front.

1) There is no way to cross reference actual usage because Anthropic won’t tell you how much they think you used.

2) It’s not a nice-to-have, it is a basic accounting question of how much of a product you are getting.

3) Even if it did work, it should be a first-party feature not a third-party add on.
