Start simple. Scale to full control.
CapHound grows with your AI usage. Start anywhere and upgrade as your needs evolve.
Start with visibility into your AI spend
Understand what’s driving costs
Set budgets and policies across teams
Enforce limits and control spend automatically
What happens without control?
Most teams don't realize the cost of inaction until the bill arrives.
AI costs scale faster than expected
Companies often underestimate how quickly AI spend grows as usage increases. A single feature launch or model upgrade can double costs overnight. CapHound helps teams stay ahead by providing visibility early and control when it matters most.
Designed to pay for itself
If your team spends $20K/month on AI, reducing even a small percentage of unnecessary usage can save thousands.
CapHound helps identify inefficiencies early and enforce limits before costs grow out of control — quickly offsetting its own cost.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between Governance and Control?
Governance gives you budget tracking, policies, and team-level attribution — the tools to manage AI spend proactively. Control adds real-time enforcement: hard budget limits that block or throttle requests, fallback model policies, and automated cost guardrails. If you need to prevent cost overruns (not just see them), you need Control.
Do you store my prompts or responses?
No. CapHound never stores prompt content, completion text, or raw request bodies. This is an architectural guarantee enforced by CI tests on every commit — not a policy setting.
Can I try CapHound before committing to a paid plan?
Yes. The Visibility tier is permanent, not a trial. It gives you usage tracking and basic dashboards across all providers. No credit card required.
How long does integration take?
Most teams are up and running in under an hour. Install the SDK, set your CapHound API key, and add a feature tag to your existing LLM calls. No infrastructure changes required.
What if I need a custom plan?
Control plans are fully customizable — custom SLAs, volume pricing, dedicated support, and self-hosted deployment. Contact us at amar@caphound.ai.
