Your AI spend is invisible. We print the receipts.
TICKER is a little desk machine that turns the tokens you burn into physical, shareable, slightly embarrassing receipts.
For everyone who turned electricity into a startup last weekend.
The premise
Nobody knows what they're
actually spending on AI.
It leaves your account in tiny invisible sips. A subscription here, an API key there, three agents running while you sleep. The number only shows up once it has already hurt.
TICKER makes it loud. It takes the spend you cannot see and prints it into something you can hold, pin to a wall, and post.
How it works
Four moves. One ritual.
-
Load the roll
Drop in a roll of paper like it's 1998. The satisfying part is the point.
-
Link your accounts
Connect every model, agent and API key you pretend you're not using.
-
Pick a mode
By model, by project, daily, weekly. Or whenever you need a reality check.
-
Hit print
Out comes the damage, itemized, in colour, with commentary you didn't ask for.
Every model gets its own receipt.
Claude prints orange. The rest get their own colours, logos and quietly judgmental tone. Pick a model, pick a confession, hit print.
Numbers are made up. The shame is real.
We replaced the taxes with the truth.
Real bills have boring line items. Yours won't.
The flex is the feature.
Spike your receipts on a rod. Fan them across your desk. Hold one up and caption it "built this in $12." Every print is a small piece of content your followers didn't know they needed.
- Tear-off perforation, built for the camera.
- The bill ledger and the spike, for collectors.
- Digital twin to every print, if you'd rather just post it.
It also saves your bank account. Occasionally.
Set a budget. TICKER prints a warning before you blow past it, so the first time you see the number isn't on your card statement.
Get on the list.
