Budgets & Spend is in Early Access and may not be available to all organizations. Contact your account representative to request access.

One home for every spending decision

Spend Management brings budgeting, enforcement, and reporting together in a single area of Airia. Set spending limits for your whole company, fine-tune them for individual projects, users, and gateways, and watch spend add up in real time — all without leaving one workspace.

The new, consolidated experience

If you used Airia previously, you may have set limits in two separate places — gateway budgets and project budgets. Spend Management is the next evolution of those features, unified into one consistent experience.
Everything you could do with gateway and project budgets you can still do here — plus company-wide and per-user limits, shared spending controls, alerts, analytics, and audit history. Instead of configuring limits in different parts of the product with different behaviors, you now manage them all from Spend Management with one set of concepts.

What’s in Spend Management

You’ll find Spend Management in the left navigation. It contains four areas:

Budget Policies

Set the default spending limits, enforcement rules, and alerts that apply across your organization — at the Company, Project, User, and Gateway level.

Custom Budgets

Override your default policies for specific projects, users, or gateways that need a higher or lower limit than the default.

Spend Analytics

See how much of each budget has been used, what’s resetting soon, and who or what is spending the most.

Usage Reports

Break down usage by project, agent, tool, data source, user, LLM provider, and model.

How the pieces fit together

1

Set your defaults in Budget Policies

Define Daily, Weekly, and Monthly limits and choose how strictly they’re enforced for your company and for the default project, user, and gateway.
2

Make exceptions with Custom Budgets

When a specific project, user, or gateway needs a different limit, create a Custom Budget that overrides the default — no need to change your organization-wide policy.
3

Stay informed with alerts and banners

Set alert thresholds so the right people are emailed as spend climbs, and let your users see in-app warnings before they hit a limit.
4

Track and review

Watch spend in Spend Analytics, dig into the details in Usage Reports, and review every change in Audit history.

Who can use Budgets & Spend

Access to Spend Management is controlled by roles and permissions. The relevant permission is Budgets (“Manage budgets settings”), which grants the ability to browse budget settings and to manage them.

You can also grant the Budgets permission to a custom role. Anyone without it won’t see Spend Management — but a budget enforced on them still applies. See What your users experience for what spending under a budget looks like for someone who isn’t an administrator.
New to budgets? Start by setting a Company budget in Budget Policies with alerts turned on but enforcement left soft. This gives you visibility and warnings without blocking anyone while you learn how your organization spends.
