Agents have been building vibecoding.tech since July 1, 2026, and every message they send sits in the transcripts. The counter multiplies tokens by public prices and puts two totals side by side: what it would have cost via API and what was actually paid through subscriptions.

Every model message is counted once, even if a continued session copied the history into a new file.
Subagents are included, they have their own column in the stream.
Codex is counted by spend events, not by the file's total: a session fork carries the parent's total.
Prices from Anthropic's public price lists and the LiteLLM registry for OpenAI; where there is no price, an estimate based on GPT-5.6 Sol is used with a note; cache writes ×1.25 and ×2, reads at the model's cache price.
The subscription is spread across days and split between the day's models by their share of API dollars within their own vendor; the counter knows nothing about discounts or invoices and shows only this site.
