# New From Finout: Predefined Virtual Tag for AI. Track AI Spend Across Every Cloud and AI Vendor

**[finout](https://daily.dev/sources/finout)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Finout offers a predefined Virtual Tag for AI spend across cloud and AI vendors. It covers AWS, Google Cloud and Azure AI services like Amazon Comprehend and Kiro, plus Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor and GitHub Copilot. The tag is built in with no setup, and Finout maintains the mapping as AI services launch and change. Teams can use it to allocate AI costs, set budgets, and track AI spend trends. The tag can be duplicated and customized to fit how a company defines AI spend. It is now generally available.

## Questions this post answers

### How can I track AI spend across AWS, GCP, Azure and vendors like OpenAI and Anthropic in one place?

Finout offers a predefined Virtual Tag for AI spend that automatically groups costs from cloud AI services, such as Amazon Comprehend, and from AI vendors like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor and GitHub Copilot. It comes built into every Finout account with no setup, and Finout maintains the underlying mapping as new AI services launch or change.

_Teams consolidating scattered AI bills can track vendor and pricing changes on daily.dev._

### What are examples of unit economics KPIs for measuring AI cost efficiency?

Useful AI unit economics KPIs include cost per AI request or per million tokens, AI cost per customer or active user, and AI cost per feature or product line. Combining a dedicated AI spend tag with business telemetry like API requests, tokens processed, or active users lets teams track whether AI costs grow efficiently with usage over time.

_Engineers justifying AI infrastructure costs can follow cost-modeling approaches like this on daily.dev._
