Track Claude Code spend across a team
A single-machine tool shows one developer's usage. A team needs every developer's usage, deduped into one view, without collecting API keys or copying numbers by hand. That is exactly what Goei does, fed by an open-source CLI that reads the logs Claude Code already writes.
The short answer
To track Claude Code costs across a team, each developer runs the open-source budgetclaw CLI, which reads the session logs Claude Code already writes and pushes daily dollar-and-token rollups to Goei, a hosted dashboard that dedupes across machines and teammates: cost per project, per developer, per git branch. No API keys, no prompts, nothing in the request path.
On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, Anthropic's own admin analytics may be enough. Goei is for API-billed teams and for Pro and Max developers, with per-branch attribution and no admin keys.
What the team view shows
Per developer
Every teammate's Claude Code spend, deduped across their machines, so you see who is running what without anyone assembling spreadsheets.
Per project and per branch
Spend attributed to the project and git branch it came from, so the cost of a feature or a long-running agent is legible, not buried in a monthly total.
Deduped, no double counting
Each machine reports under a stable identity, so re-syncs and overlapping imports collapse into one number. A wrong total is worse than no total, so the dedup is enforced on ingest.
LOCAL usage value at list API rates and BILLED provider charges are always labeled separately and never added together.
One commit rolls it out to a repo
To give a whole team the same per-project, per-branch cost view inside Claude Code, commit the companion claude-code-cost plugin to a repo's .claude/settings.json:
{
"extraKnownMarketplaces": {
"roninforge": { "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "RoninForge/claude-code-cost" } }
},
"enabledPlugins": {
"claude-code-cost@roninforge": true
}
}On the next session in that repo, each teammate is prompted once to install it (Claude Code v2.1.195 or newer); nothing installs silently. This registers the Claude Code plugin, not the CLI, so developers still install budgetclaw once to feed the dashboard.
Setup, per developer
Works on Claude Pro and Max, where billing APIs do not exist. Each developer installs the open-source CLI once and points it at the team.
- 1 Install the open-source CLI.
- 2 Sign in, mint a device token, and push your last 30 days. Open goei.roninforge.org, sign in with the magic link, create a token under Settings → Device Tokens, then run it once with --save so later syncs need no token:

Frequently asked questions
How do you track Claude Code spend across a whole team? +
Each developer runs the open-source budgetclaw CLI on their machine. It reads the session logs Claude Code already writes to local disk and pushes daily dollar-and-token rollups to Goei with a revocable device token. Goei dedupes those rollups across every machine and teammate into one team view: cost per project, per developer, per git branch, for up to 10 developers on a flat plan. No API keys change hands and no prompt content ever leaves a machine. For a zero-install one-off, npx goei-sync pushes the same usage by day and model; budgetclaw is the always-on version that adds the per-project and per-branch attribution and hard spend caps.
Does tracking team spend need an Anthropic API key? +
No, not for Claude Code usage on Pro or Max plans, which have no billing API. The local track reads the same ~/.claude session logs ccusage reads, through budgetclaw, and sends only daily rollups. An API key is only needed for the optional billed track that reads a provider billing API directly (for API-billed teams).
Can it separate cost by developer and by project? +
Yes. Because every rollup carries a stable machine identity and the project and git branch it came from, Goei attributes team spend per developer, per project, and per git branch, and dedupes overlapping data so no day is counted twice. That is the layer a single-machine tool like ccusage cannot provide.
How much does it cost to track a team? +
The budgetclaw CLI is free and open source. Goei has a free tier, and Pro is $19/month flat for up to 10 developers (not per seat), which unlocks the full team rollup and 12 months of re-priced history. A second machine for the same person is always free.
Is this different from Anthropic's own team analytics? +
On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, Anthropic's admin analytics may already be enough. Goei is for API-billed teams and for teams of Pro and Max developers, where there is no admin billing API, and it adds per-git-branch and per-project attribution that the console does not.
Goei is part of RoninForge. See the full overview, the ccusage comparison, or the cost dashboard overview.
