1Password, a leader in identity security, today announced AI Spend and Consumption Management, a new capability within 1Password SaaS Manager that gives organizations a single, normalized view of AI consumption and spend across leading AI vendors. By bringing usage and token consumption data into one place, 1Password gives IT, finance teams, and business leaders a shared view of AI spend so they can understand what's driving costs, stay ahead of unexpected overages, and make more informed investment decisions. AI Spend and Consumption Management is available today for Anthropic, Cursor, and OpenAI, with support for additional AI vendors planned for future releases.

Quick Intel

  • Public preview now, broadly available Fall 2026.

The AI Spend Management Challenge

Greg Henry, CFO of 1Password, stated: "Executives want teams to build faster with AI, but that speed is creating a new kind of spend pressure. Developers are consuming tokens at a pace traditional budgets weren't built to manage, while IT and Finance are being asked to forecast and justify AI investments without a reliable view of what's driving costs. Organizations need better data and alerts to understand where model usage is creating value to keep budgets well managed as AI adoption grows."

A Single View of AI Consumption

AI Spend and Consumption Management extends 1Password SaaS Manager's existing foundation of spend, license, and people data to help organizations bring AI consumption under control. By connecting directly to vendor admin APIs, 1Password gives organizations token-level consumption data from the source, updated daily, rather than inferring spend from card transactions, invoices, or manual exports. Organizations can monitor token usage and spend across supported AI vendors through a single, normalized dashboard, set vendor-level spend limits with automated alerts, break down AI consumption by team, user, vendor, and model, and optimize software investments.

Customer Perspective

Steve May, Director of IT at ServiceTrade, stated: "Forecasting tools for AI consumption and spend was one of our biggest gaps in planning because we didn't have a reliable way to track it. Being able to manage AI spend directly in SaaS Manager, a platform we already rely on, removed the need for custom tools and manual tracking. Our leadership team now has the runway to see what's committed and how fast it's burning before it runs out."

Extending SaaS Management to AI

AI Spend and Consumption Management builds on the broader role of 1Password SaaS Manager to help organizations discover, govern, and optimize every application their teams use. Recently recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms, 1Password continues to help organizations gain greater visibility and control over how software is adopted and used.
