I’m building a booking app for yoga studios with sign-in, payments and email reminders. What should it run on, and what will it cost at 20,000 users?

Example prompt. The answer is a live result from recommend_stack, the tool your assistant calls, at today’s prices.
No vendor pays to be listed or ranked higher, and there are no referral links.

Every price change is public: who changed what, when and why.

Already built?
Start from what you run.

Point it at your files, repository or website to see what to keep and what to change. Then bring in what you actually pay, next to what you estimated.

Sign-in required for billing and saved stacks.

Spend less time collecting bills

Import a CSV, upload a text-based PDF, paste an invoice or enter an amount. Recurring subscriptions add completed months automatically.

Supported OpenAI, Anthropic, Vercel, Stripe, AWS and DigitalOcean connections sync completed months nightly. Billing access depends on the provider; personal Claude API keys cannot read organization costs.

Forward receipts when they arrive

When receipt forwarding is enabled, send receipts to your private billing address and review the service, month and amount in Billing. It reads the email body, not attachments; upload PDFs separately.

Revisit decisions when things change

Save a stack or audit and enable alerts for price changes, approaching cost jumps, expiring credits and bills above estimates. Checks run daily using saved usage assumptions and require a confirmed email.
