Bursora - Cap your AI spend before the bill lands

by•
Set AI spend budgets per customer, agent, or workflow. Bursora blocks the call before it blows the cap, without routing your traffic through a proxy. One line wraps your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or DeepSeek client. Fail-open.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Bursora after a runaway agent loop burned a few hundred dollars in API credit before I noticed. Every tool I tried showed me the bill after it landed. None of them stopped it. Bursora checks the budget before each call goes out. If a call would blow your cap, it's blocked right there in your SDK. If it's fine, the call goes straight to the provider. No proxy, no gateway sitting in your traffic. One line wraps your existing OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or DeepSeek client. You set caps per customer, agent, or workflow. When spend spikes, you get pinged on Slack, Discord, or email before it grows. It's $29/mo flat for the hosted version, or free and self-hosted under Apache 2.0 if you'd rather run your own. Would love your feedback, especially on where the budget model breaks for your setup. I'll be around all day.

Congrats team, UI looks neat!

One question, does Bursora utilise x402 in its architecture by any chance?

Maker

 thanks, really appreciate it! 🙏

No, we don't use x402. Different layer, x402 is a payment rail that settles money per request, while Bursora is a budget check that runs before the call. The SDK just asks "can I spend this?", gets a yes/no, and your app still calls the AI provider directly - no proxy, no money moving through us. We only track tokens and enforce the cap

So they're not competing, you could actually run x402 for settlement and Bursora for spend limits side by side. Good question!

The no-proxy approach is really interesting. Was avoiding a proxy mainly for latency, privacy, reliability, or all three?

Maker

 all three, but reliability won it. A proxy in your request path means if it dies, your AI calls die too. With the SDK, if Bursora is ever unreachable the call still goes through, you lose the check, not your product. Bonus: your prompts never touch our servers
