Stipend lets engineering teams set compute budgets by role and team, enforce provider policy in real time, and give finance a clean breakdown by cost center — all connected to the HR systems you already use.
Engineers spin up personal subscriptions. Approved tools mix with unapproved ones. Finance sees one opaque line item they can't attribute. IT has no audit trail. When someone leaves, access lingers until someone remembers to revoke it. The result is a resource that's becoming a meaningful part of labor cost — managed with less rigor than a company travel policy.
"We found 47 separate AI subscriptions across the company — $180K annualized — with no way to attribute costs, audit usage, or revoke access from a central place."
Set compute budgets by employee, team, or job level. Choose which providers and models each group can access. Rules sync automatically with your HRIS as your org changes.
Bring your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google contracts — or route through Stipend's resale layer. One gateway. One credential per employee. Every provider.
Every request is checked against the employee's remaining budget before it reaches the provider. Finance gets a clean cost-center breakdown. IT gets a full audit trail. Offboarding revokes access automatically.
Set budgets by job level, team, or individual. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more from a single admin panel. Every employee gets a managed allocation — no personal subscriptions, no shadow IT, no spreadsheet tracking.
