Analytics and cost tracking
Ironspire tracks token usage and costs in real time. You can monitor spending per agent, set daily budget alerts, and keep an eye on context window usage during conversations.
The Session HUD
At the top of every chat panel, the Session HUD shows live metrics for the current conversation:
- Model: which Claude model is active (with per-agent overrides noted)
- Cost: cumulative USD spent this session
- Context bar: how much of the model's context window is in use
The context bar turns red at 70% usage and pulses at 90%+, so you know when a conversation is approaching its limit.
If you are on CLI mode with a Claude subscription, a Usage bar also appears showing your five-hour utilization window and time until reset.
The Analytics panel
Click Analytics in the sidebar to open the cost dashboard. It has two tabs:
Costs tab
The cost table shows every active agent with:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Agent | Agent name and icon |
| Tokens In | Input tokens this session |
| Tokens Out | Output tokens this session |
| Session | Cost for the current session (USD) |
| Cumulative | All-time cost across all sessions |
| Trend | Sparkline of hourly cost over the last 24 hours |
A summary row at the bottom shows totals across all agents. You can sort by name, session cost, or cumulative cost.
Insights tab (Forge)
The Insights tab generates a report analysing your usage patterns, cost distribution, and recommendations. This is a Forge feature; see pricing for details on what Forge includes.
Budget alerts
You can set a daily spending limit:
- Open Settings (
Ctrl+,) - Go to the About tab
- Under Budget, toggle on the daily budget alert and enter a dollar amount
When your spending crosses the threshold, a warning banner appears in the Analytics panel.
Resetting costs
Click the Reset button in the Analytics panel header to zero out session cost counters. Cumulative costs are preserved for historical tracking.
