About Recost

Recost is an innovative SaaS tool designed for developers and product teams who want to gain full visibility into their API costs. By leveraging Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) analysis and runtime tracking, Recost identifies exactly which code segments are generating the most expense, mapping costs directly to API endpoints. Its ability to flag wasteful practices such as duplicate calls, inefficient loops, and unnecessary requests helps teams optimize their API usage before bills skyrocket. Additionally, Recost offers simulation capabilities to assess how scaling might impact costs, giving teams a proactive approach to cost management. This combination of detailed code analysis and real-time monitoring sets Recost apart as a powerful tool for controlling API spend and improving application efficiency.
