The $0 in Clay just reflects what Clay charges (nothing for provider cost) but OpenAI still deducts credits on their side. To avoid surprises it’s best to track actual usage in your OpenAI dashboard. I’ve managed this setup before and can help you configure Clay in a way that cuts down API usage while keeping results accurate.
