OpenAI cost per customer without storing prompts
Security asked whether the meter stores what people type. We do not. We keep counts, tags, and cost. Bodies never hit our disk.
A security review will ask whether the meter keeps what people typed. CostSlice does not. Prompt and completion bodies are not written to disk. We keep tagged usage: model, tokens, latency, status, timestamps, x-cs-tenant, x-cs-feature, x-cs-env.
Helicone can keep full logs. That is a gateway choice. LLMeter says it is not a proxy — it wraps the SDK in your process. CostSlice is a pass-through at https://api.costslice.com/v1. Completions still go to OpenAI. We never store the OpenAI API key.
