Make every credit count.

One honest number for everything you pay.

Runway, Midjourney, Kling, ElevenLabs and whatever you try next, added up: what they cost a month, what to use before it expires, and which plan already covers the next one. It lives in the menu bar on a Mac and in the system tray on Windows.

Every creative-AI plan you pay for, added up: what it costs a month, what to use before it expires, and which plan already covers the next one.

StudioSpend is a spending tracker. It doesn’t make images, video or music, and it doesn’t sell credits for the services that do.

A clip costs credits. An image costs fast hours. A render costs units.

Trying the new model is part of the job, so the plans pile up, each with its own unit and its own reset day. Nobody tells you what it all costs in a month, or what it still buys. StudioSpend answers in the units you work in.

Each figure is the plan’s monthly allowance divided by one job’s cost in StudioSpend’s price table. Estimates, so they wear the ≈.

What are you making?

Pick the job. StudioSpend says which plan you already pay for should cover it: credits that are about to reset first, then what’s free on a plan, then the lowest price per job. It makes nothing itself.

What the plans you already pay for cover, per job. StudioSpend charges nothing here and sells no credits. Balances and prices are the demo month’s.

Ask Claude. It asks StudioSpend first.

Add StudioSpend to Claude Desktop on your Mac once. From then on, Claude can check what you pay for, what’s left and which of your plans covers the next job, then hand you to that platform.

Try a question
  1. 1Add it once. In StudioSpend, Settings, then Add to Claude. Claude asks to install it and you say yes.
  2. 2Ask as you work. Claude reads balances and spend from the app on your Mac. StudioSpend has no server; its answers go into your Claude chat like anything else you share with Claude.
  3. 3Keep your sign-ins. Read-only: Claude never sees a password or a key, and StudioSpend never generates anything.

Answer cards like this show in a regular Claude Desktop chat, and in the ChatGPT desktop app after a one-time setup (steps on the Support page). In Cowork, Claude gets the same answers as plain text. Mac only for now, and not on Claude or ChatGPT for the web or phones yet. Six questions it can answer: balances, spend, expiring credits, what your plans still cover, which plan to use, and what one model costs across your platforms.

Your spending stays on your computer.

There is no StudioSpend account and nothing to sync. Here is everything that leaves your computer, and everything that doesn’t.

Delete the app and your data goes with it. The connector for Claude and the ChatGPT desktop app reads the same file, on the same computer, read-only.

A couple of minutes to set up. Then it mostly stays quiet.

  1. Tell it what you pay.

    Tap your platforms from about 80 with current plan prices, or drop in a bank or card statement and it matches the charges for you. A couple of minutes, once.

  2. Hear about it before your card does.

    Credits about to go unused, renewals and trial ends, a balance running out early, a plan that’s bigger than you need. Each alert is said once.

One price, however many plans you track.

Try all of it free for 30 days. Then pick monthly or yearly; it’s the same app either way.

Not for you? Ask for a refund within 30 days of any payment and you get all of it back, no questions asked. Refund Policy

Payments run through Paddle, our reseller and merchant of record. Prices in US dollars; tax is added where it applies. Terms

Before you download.

What does it cost?

After 30 days free, $5 a month or $45 a year. There’s no free version, and you don’t need a card to start the trial.

What happens when the 30 days end?

StudioSpend asks you to pick monthly or yearly. If you don’t, live balance checks, alerts and the Make tab pause. Your plans, your spending and everything you entered stay on your computer, and you can still see and export them.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Ask within 30 days of any payment, first or renewal, and you get all of it back, no questions. Payments run through Paddle, our reseller: reply to your Paddle receipt or write to [email protected].

How do I cancel?

From the link in your Paddle receipt, any time. StudioSpend keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.

Do I hand over my passwords?

Never. Official sign-in opens the platform’s own page in your browser and hands StudioSpend a token; it never sees your password. API keys go into your computer’s own secure store: the Keychain on a Mac, Credential Manager on Windows. There’s no StudioSpend account to create.

Which platforms does it know?

About 80, with current plan prices: Runway, Midjourney, Kling, Higgsfield, Luma, Suno, ElevenLabs, Krea, Adobe Firefly and more. 22 can read a live balance, 14 of them through the platform’s own sign-in and 8 through an API key; everything else you type in once or import from a bank statement.

What does “reads your plan” mean?

Many platforms keep two wallets: the plan you pay for, and a separate developer wallet that an API key reads. StudioSpend labels every number with the wallet it came from, so one is never mistaken for the other.

Does it work on Windows?

Yes. StudioSpend runs on a Mac (Intel and Apple Silicon) and on 64-bit Windows 11. It lives in the menu bar on a Mac and in the system tray on Windows, and either way it keeps checking with the window closed. Windows may call a new download unrecognised; choose More info, then Run anyway.

Where does my data live?

In a file on your computer. No account, no sync, no analytics in the app. If you delete the app, your data goes with it.

Does it work with Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes, on the Mac. StudioSpend ships a read-only connector. Claude Desktop and Claude Code use it once you add it from Settings; the ChatGPT desktop app uses it after a short one-time setup on the Support page and a restart of ChatGPT. Either can ask what you pay for, what’s left, which credits are about to expire and which of your plans covers something, then hand you to that platform. Answers show as cards like the ones above in a regular Claude Desktop chat and in the ChatGPT desktop app; in Cowork they come as plain text. It doesn’t reach Claude or ChatGPT on the web or a phone yet, and the connector runs on Mac only for now. It never sees your sign-ins and never generates anything itself.
