Cloud workspace and coverage
Your team gets one hosted place to start capture, review detected and observed providers, add optional billing or routing integrations, manage business rules, review token usage, and download reports.
SignalCost Cloud
See and govern company AI from the Cloud.
SignalCost Cloud helps business owners see who is using AI, what work it supports, what it costs, which requests should be allowed, and where approved work should run.
SignalCost Cloud
One hosted workspace for AI capture, provider coverage, rules, reporting, and cost.
Create a workspace, install capture, review provider coverage, add optional integrations, set business rules, and manage AI spend without requiring Beacon hardware.
SaaS-first teams that want governed AI visibility in minutes.
Finance and platform teams managing multiple AI providers.
Security teams that want policy, prompt risk, and audit evidence without deploying hardware first.
How It Works
Hosted control for the AI tools your company already uses.
Both versions answer the same business questions: who is using AI, what work it supports, whether it should be allowed, where it should run, what it costs, and what proof should be kept.
Capture without provider setup
Browser, endpoint, SDK, MCP, OpenTelemetry, and gateway sources feed the same privacy-aware event contract so governed traffic can be tied to source, employee, provider, model, and business purpose when available.
Business rules before spend
SignalCost checks approved AI services, budgets, security rules, and business purpose before governed requests create unwanted charges or unsupported usage.
Add Beacon only when local control is needed
Beacon extends the same rules into an office for local review, local receipts, network setup guidance, and site-level enforcement. Cloud remains the system of record.
Capture coverage
Discovery comes first. Credentials are optional.
Every provider moves through a clear state so teams know what SignalCost can prove now and what an integration would add later.
Discovered automatically from captured traffic.
No credentials required.
Usage, source, employee, model, and estimated cost are visible.
Enough evidence to report.
Optional credentials are added for billing, routing, or enrichment.
Account access stays separate.
Manual setup is a secondary action.
Choose Add billing or routing integration only when the workspace needs invoices, exact account reconciliation, provider routing, model catalogs, or enrichment.
See provider coverageTHE NEXT MOVE
Turn the first captured signal into operating value.
Once the first provider record appears, move from evidence to action without reworking the shared capture layer. Start small, then expand with proof.
Capture the work
Download the native browser installer, activate Beacon One, or connect an endpoint, SDK, MCP, or OTel source.
Authorize the economics
Connect captured activity to a workflow, budget, provider, model, policy, and agent wallet before spend compounds.
Prove the result
Reconcile usage, review the AI general-ledger dimensions, and measure the outcome before expanding to more packs or locations.
Customer Concerns
Straight answers for owners, finance, security, and operations.
Will SignalCost see our prompts?
By default, Cloud can receive a minimized decision record instead of the full prompt. You can opt into full prompt sharing only when your company policy requires it.
Is this just a dashboard?
No. SignalCost is designed to decide before spend happens: allow, block, route, throttle, require approval, and then reconcile the actual cost.
Do we need Beacon to start?
No. SignalCost Cloud is the primary hosted product. Start with capture, provider coverage, optional integrations, policies, quotas, reports, Prompt Firewall configuration, and cost controls. Add Beacon only where an office needs local evidence.
How do browsers and apps start?
Install the native browser capture extension from Setup, activate Beacon One for local capture, or connect a managed endpoint, SDK, MCP, or OpenTelemetry source. Provider credentials are optional and only needed for account-level billing, routing, or enrichment.
How does this help finance?
SignalCost connects each request to business purpose, owner, provider, model, policy decision, cost, and outcome so finance can explain what the spend was for.
What if we add Beacon later?
The same company account, source registry, provider coverage, policies, reports, and archive choices carry forward. Beacon adds local office capture, not a separate product silo.
Govern AI before tokens are spent
Budget, policy, routing, and security decisions can happen before an approved request is sent to an AI service.
Keep provider access under control
Start with automatic provider discovery, then manage optional billing, approved models, pricing, usage, invoices, and allowed routes without handing provider keys to everyone.
Explain value, not just cost
ROI reporting ties AI work to outcomes such as tickets resolved, documents produced, time saved, or revenue workflows.

Reserve Beacon when you want simple local AI controls for an office, branch, or customer site without asking employees to change how they work.
Choose your starting point
Start with 30 days free. Add Beacon One when a device or office needs local control.
Start as an individual with personal protection or as a team with token-bundle pricing. Beacon One remains the local-control device for people and locations that need AI activity reviewed near the source.
