When you use your own GPT API key, the costs shown in Clay won't reflect your actual OpenAI spending. [1]
Clay's cost tracking only works when using our managed API keys. With your personal key, you'll need to monitor usage directly in your OpenAI account.
The actual cost difference is significant though - using your own key costs around 0.003 cents per call versus 1 cent through Clay's managed service. [2]
Yes, that "CostToAIProvider" column appears when you use your own API key, but it doesn't reflect your actual OpenAI spending. [1]
When using your personal API key, price breakdowns won't appear accurately in our UI - you'll need to monitor your actual usage directly in your OpenAI account. [2] The column is there but the cost tracking only works properly with our managed keys. [3]
If you need any more help understanding the cost details or how to track your usage, I'm here to assist. Would you like to provide more information about what you're trying to resolve or understand?
