PerUnit vs OpenAI Dashboard
Provider billing and usage
The OpenAI dashboard (and Anthropic's) shows your total API spend, usage by model, and billing history. It answers 'how much did I spend?' PerUnit answers 'who spent it, which feature drove it, and is that customer profitable?' — by connecting your AI usage to your customers and revenue.
