CloviAPI
Your AI spend, under control.
AI API costs have become the #1–#2 COGS line item for SaaS companies integrating AI in 2026, yet no unified cost governance tool exists for the $50M–$500M ARR operator segment. CloviAPI captures the 112,000+ SaaS companies using 3+ AI providers simultaneously, targeting a $80.6M SAM with zero-instrumentation monitoring and $19–$49/month pricing 5–10x lower than enterprise competitors, positioning for Series A or strategic acquisition by a larger billing or API tooling platform.

An overview of CloviAPI
CloviAPI is an API cost governance platform that consolidates AI provider spending across CloviAI, Google, CloviVoice Engine, and other providers, Perplexity, and OpenRouter into a single dashboard with per-product attribution, budget enforcement, and anomaly detection. Built for multi-platform SaaS operators who manage 3–15 products on shared AI infrastructure and need unified cost visibility before the invoice arrives.

Key features
From start to result in 4 steps
Upload an OpenAPI spec, import from a URL, or define endpoints manually. CloviAPI parses your schema and auto-generates structured documentation instantly.
Your API documentation is published as a live interactive portal where developers can read endpoint specs, view request/response examples, and execute test calls directly in the browser.
Issue API keys per consumer, set per-key rate limits and quota tiers, and monitor usage in real time. Revoke or rotate keys without touching your backend code.
Track call volumes, error rates, and latency per endpoint. Version your API docs alongside your releases so consumers always access the correct specification for their integration.
That's the complete CloviAPI loop — no manual steps, no tab-switching.
