Claude Code Token Cost Analyzer

Claude Code users get surprised by runaway token costs with no visibility into what's consuming them. Ledger is a local tool that tracks token spend per session and PR, showing cost breakdowns via CLI, web dashboard, or menu bar widget.

Anthropic's aggressive push of Claude Code as a terminal-native coding agent has created a real and vocal pain point: developers on X and Reddit are regularly posting screenshots of unexpected $50–200 monthly bills with no granular breakdown of where tokens went. No clear incumbent exists specifically for Claude Code cost attribution at the session or PR level, though general API cost dashboards like Metronome or internal Anthropic console views exist but serve different use cases. The $500–2k/mo ceiling makes sense only as a solo lifestyle tool or stepping stone, since the audience skews toward individual developers and small teams who'll tolerate a low price point, making it hard to push beyond without expanding to multi-seat enterprise contracts. The biggest risk is that Anthropic ships native cost attribution directly into Claude Code — which they have strong incentive to do — and instantly kills the primary reason anyone pays for this.
