@milesg_ a finding better deals on existing plans is a smart touch. looks good
Orbit Money
@vikramp7470 thanks! yeah lots of people paying full price for stuff that has discounts they never see. more coming on that soon
This hits a nerve. As a solo founder, I have this spreadsheet that's supposed to track what I'm paying for OpenAI, Vercel, various APIs, and it's permanently out of date. The moment you forget to log one new tool, the whole system breaks. Does Orbit auto-detect subscriptions from bank transactions, or does it hook into the billing APIs of each service directly? The second approach sounds way harder but also way more useful.

@linoy_bar_gal yeah that spreadsheet dying after a week is exactly why we built this. for API spend you connect directly to each provider's billing API so it stays accurate without you touching it. for subscriptions you upload a bank statement and it pulls them out — bank connect coming soon to make that automatic too. would love to know how it goes if you try it
The AI spend tracking angle is what got me, I have no idea how much I'm actually spending across Claude, ChatGPT and other tools each month until the credit card bill hits.
As an indie maker pre-launch, keeping costs low is everything.
Does Orbit detect subscriptions automatically by connecting to your bank/email, or do you have to add them manually?
Orbit Money
@misbah_abdel beta supports csv bank statements or manual uploads. connecting (read-only) banks - coming soon!
This is painfully relatable. I run a crypto payments startup and between Claude, AWS, various RPC providers, and SaaS tools, I genuinely have no idea what my monthly infra bill is until it hits. The "find better deals" angle is interesting — do you plan to benchmark pricing across providers (e.g. comparing OpenAI vs Anthropic cost per token for similar workloads)? That would be killer for teams trying to optimize AI spend.

@qbitflow This could be really cool actually. There's a few places we can take it and building this alongside early users will help there on what features users want the most.
Orbit Money
@qbitflow Totally get it, as a developer too, I'm always going back and forth on which API to use for what. The pricing pages never make it easy to compare. We will definitely keep this feature in mind to add in our upcoming versions
I can't wait to introduce this to my company! Working for a construction industry building AI tools, I have observed so many subscriptions and its become a mess for the finance department to track everything every dollar spent on tool subscriptions. This is definitely gonna help us track our subscription spending
I am also keen to seeing more deals in https://orbitmoney.io/deals and I think there is great value to seeing tool alternatives and see deals in one place. I want to know exactly what I am paying for.
Orbit Money
@brent_tudas thanks brent! yeah the deals side is a big focus for us, we want it to be the place where you find better options without having to go looking. keen to hear how it goes once you get it in front of your team

I co-founded Orbit but honestly I use this every day it's so useful, Claude usage used to frustrate the hell out of me because it had to go right into setting to know where I stand and often you're like blind to it.
Now I just have the alerts set up so I know when I'm crossing different thresholds
solid utility. the real pain isn't seeing the number - it's attributing spend to projects and teams so you can chargeback accurately. aggregated spend visibility is step one, not the answer.
