# Cost Visibility & Control for AI Gateway

> Set spending limits and track LLM usage across your organization, environments, and keys.

## Overview

Aptible's AI Gateway gives you visibility into LLM spend at every level of your organization, from total usage across all environments down to individual key activity, and lets you set a hard cap to prevent unexpected costs.

## Setting a Spending Limit

You can set an organization-wide monthly spending limit to cap your total AI Gateway usage. To configure it, click the gear icon in the monthly spend tile on the AI Gateway Dashboard. The limit can be set anywhere between $1 and $10,000. If you need a higher limit, contact [Aptible Support](https://app.aptible.com/support).
