I've got a local one you can to do this for free with through openrouter
Even has a GUI.
$ uvx capit serve
https://github.com/day50-dev/limit-model-spending
* Free to use
* Everything is stored local.
* Anthropic skills are included for easily extending it to additional tools or providers.
Please ask for features or file bugs. Thanks!
Btw, I'm terrible at marketing even when I'm giving stuff away.

I actually laughed, its a security issue, and it requires payment to avoid payment.

Its basic function is something you could vibe code in a few minutes :-)
Not to mention the whole privacy issue.

I wonder much time did the author actually spent vibe coding this. I bet 90% of the time were spent on subscription payment processing.

The pricing is very steep. I can see a market for this as an application with one time purchase but as a subscription?

We self-host LiteLLM which allows to set the budget per day/week, and it's free.

This will fail product-market fit instantly. Nobody is paying $49/mo for a tiny script they can vibe and run locally.

I think the fundamental problem with this project is that if I'm on a hard budget, I have a hard time justifying $19–49/month to keep to my budget.

LiteLLM already provides this feature, no need of another proxy
