Open Token vs AWS native
AWS already gives you building blocks at no extra charge: AWS Budgets, Cost Explorer, cost and usage reports with attribution by IAM principal, Bedrock application inference profiles and projects, and AgentCore observability at CloudWatch rates.
Where Open Token is different
Real-time alerts: AWS Budgets alerts hours after the spend; Open Token flags a feature or an agent run while it's happening, with in-path stopping on our roadmap.
Attribution without a tagging project: we tag each call with team, project and environment, and those tags land in your own cost reports.
Feature and customer views, agent traces joined to cost, and forecasts with a cause.
When AWS native is the better fit
- You run a single application with a stable tagging scheme and daily cost visibility is enough.
Using both
Open Token builds on AWS rather than replacing it: we read your Bedrock logs and cost reports, and write attribution back into them.
