Know the real cost of AI
in your engineering team
Link AI usage to tasks, projects, and productivity. Track time, measure impact, protect developer wellbeing. One platform for the full picture.
Your team adopted AI.
Your tools didn't.
AI costs are invisible
Teams use Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude — but nobody knows the real cost per project, per developer, or per task. Finance gets a single invoice with zero attribution.
Time tracking is disconnected from AI
Harvest, Toggl, Clockify track hours. But they have no idea how much of that time involves AI assistance, or what that AI actually costs.
No productivity-to-cost correlation
Is AI making your team faster? Nobody can prove it. There's no way to link AI spend to actual output — commits, PRs, features shipped.
Developer wellbeing is an afterthought
Tools track output, never input. No one monitors when devs are overworked, skipping breaks, or losing focus — until burnout hits.
"We spend $50K/month on AI tools but can't tell if it's making us faster or just more expensive."
— Every engineering director in 2026
One ecosystem.
Complete visibility.
Cadenzo connects the dots that no other tool does: it links time spent on tasks to AI consumed, correlates both with actual output, and watches over developer health — all in one platform.
Four pillars. One platform.
AI Cost Intelligence
Know exactly what AI costs — per task, per project, per developer.
- Automatic capture of Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and custom LLM usage
- Token-level cost attribution to specific projects and git repos
- Model-by-model breakdown with custom pricing per org
- Budget alerts before costs spiral
The tool that doesn't exist yet.
Existing solutions solve pieces of the puzzle. Cadenzo is the first to connect AI costs, productivity metrics, time tracking, and developer wellbeing in one system.
Four steps to full clarity
Install & Forget
Install the desktop tracker and IDE extension. They detect projects automatically from git context. Zero configuration needed.
Work Naturally
Start your timer, code with AI, commit, push. Cadenzo captures everything in the background — time, AI requests, tokens, costs.
See the Full Picture
Open the dashboard. See how much AI costs per project, how it correlates with output, and whether your team is in a sustainable rhythm.
Optimize & Protect
Use data to decide which AI tools deliver ROI. Get alerts on budget overruns. Protect developers with proactive wellbeing signals.
Stop guessing.
Start measuring.
Cadenzo gives engineering leaders the data to prove AI ROI, protect developer health, and optimize spend — without surveillance or micromanagement.
Free for individual developers. Team plans available.
