Changelog

High-volume SDK usage now reaches spend reporting reliably across distributed applications.

• FixedFixed missing usage for teams that send SDK telemetry from many distributed clients through one API key.

Setup is easier to finish, and you can connect coding tools even when the emails do not match.

• NewOnboarding now keeps API setup steps in the checklist, adds coding integrations, and puts AI help next to those tasks.
• NewYou can link Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex to SuperPenguin when those accounts use a different email than the one you signed in with.
• ImprovedSuperPenguin Desktop stays usable while it scans local activity, and Settings can show your Cursor account in the installed app.

Overview shows Total usage as soon as it is ready, then fills in the month forecast.

• ImprovedOverview now opens Total usage first. The month forecast appears a moment later, and setup steps stay out of the way if you already have traffic.

API Usage shows your spend as soon as it is ready, then fills in the month forecast.

• ImprovedAPI Usage now opens the charts first. The month forecast appears a moment later, and setup steps stay out of the way if you already have traffic.

API Usage opens faster on accounts with a lot of request history.

• ImprovedAPI Usage now loads much faster for teams with heavy request volume. Spend and request totals stay the same.

Anthropic Claude Fable 5.1 usage now resolves with its current token and cache-read pricing.

• ImprovedClaude Fable 5.1 usage is recognized with the correct input, output, and cache-read rates.

AI Coding attribution stays current as teams grow, API Usage avoids duplicate request totals, and new comparison guides make AI cost tools easier to evaluate.

• ImprovedCursor work reaches PR Costs through smaller, targeted updates, keeping pull request totals responsive as your team's coding history grows.
• FixedAPI Usage now counts a request once when the same delivery arrives more than once, preventing duplicate rows from inflating totals.
• NewThe new Library compares AI coding tools, observability platforms, gateways, and cloud cost products with practical cost-management guidance.
• ImprovedSuperPenguin Desktop 0.13.6 improves Claude Code coverage recovery and trusts current usage-limit readings sooner.
• ImprovedModel pricing recognizes more AWS Bedrock regions and Azure deployment variants so regional usage can resolve to the right rate.

Custom pricing now supports provider service tiers, and Sail batch usage can use the right price for each completion window.

• NewCustom model pricing now lets you add provider-defined service tiers with separate input, output, and cache-read prices.
• FixedSail batch usage now appears under Sail and can be priced independently for balanced and flex completion windows.

Overview now shows Total Usage across billed and SDK-attributed spend, AI Coding and PR Costs are easier to scan, and SuperPenguin Desktop 0.13.5 keeps the menu bar Day Sheet from interrupting your work.

• ImprovedOverview now reports Total Usage, so SDK-attributed spend (including providers without a billing connection) appears in the headline and by-provider chart alongside billed amounts.
• ImprovedAPI Usage can switch between the dashboard and a transactions list, PR Costs puts view filters in a bar above the table, and tabs show a matching layout while they load.
• ImprovedAI Coding makes Codex sessions easier to share and review, with a copyable session link, a clearer utilization list, and more helpful empty states.
• NewBook a demo is now available next to Start free on the marketing site, with a dedicated booking page.
• ImprovedSuperPenguin Desktop 0.13.5 is now available to install from inside the app. The menu bar Day Sheet opens without taking over your current window, Claude Code coverage stays accurate when you work offline, and Session Analyze matches the Sessions total.

A new SDK-first setup and dashboard experience gets you from signup to attributed AI spend faster, with clearer usage, reconciliation, and pull request views.

• NewNew workspaces now get guided setup with a copyable API key, instructions tailored to their stack, and live confirmation when attributed traffic starts arriving.
• ImprovedThe dashboard now uses a cleaner, collapsible workspace centered on API Usage, AI Coding, billing reconciliation, and provider details.
• ImprovedAPI Usage now forecasts the current month's SDK-observed spend instead of mixing in imported provider bills.
• ImprovedPR Costs now uses a denser, sortable table with dedicated views, clearer cost comparisons, and accessible row expansion.

SuperPenguin JS 0.8.0 and Python 0.13.0 record Vercel AI Gateway and LiteLLM billed spend, and Azure wrap docs cover regional pricing.

• ImprovedInstall SuperPenguin JavaScript 0.8.0 or Python 0.13.0 so Vercel AI Gateway and LiteLLM spend in SuperPenguin matches what those platforms charged for each request, including BYOK traffic.
• ImprovedAzure OpenAI wrap docs now show how to pass region and deployment type so SuperPenguin uses regional catalog prices instead of Global Standard.

Vercel AI Gateway and LiteLLM spend now matches what those platforms charged for each request, and Bedrock calls record the AWS region from the endpoint.

• NewCalls through Vercel AI Gateway or LiteLLM now use that platform's own per-request charge in SuperPenguin, including BYOK traffic, instead of SuperPenguin guessing from a rate card. This takes effect with the next SuperPenguin SDK release; current SDKs keep using SuperPenguin's rate card.
• FixedAWS Bedrock calls made through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint now record the AWS region from the host, so regional prices and region breakdowns are correct. No SDK upgrade is required for this fix.

AI Coding and PR Costs now guide your team through setup in one place, while Ask SuperPenguin can answer plan and company onboarding questions with workspace-aware guidance.

• NewAI Coding and PR Costs now share a live setup checklist for plan access, team invitations, Desktop connections, optional Cursor billing, and the extra GitHub connection needed for pull request attribution.
• NewAsk SuperPenguin can now compare plans and guide company setup, engineer invitations, Desktop installation, AI Coding access, and GitHub connection using the relevant status of your current workspace.
• ImprovedNew company setup guides explain workspace roles, plan limits, AI Coding visibility, and how to connect every engineer without requiring provider billing connections for Claude Code or Codex.
• ImprovedDesktop cost estimates refresh when SuperPenguin adds a new model price, instead of keeping a stale local cache.

AI Coding now compares estimated usage value by engineer across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, with clearer desktop invitations and more resilient pull request tracking.

• NewThe AI Coding overview now shows the average estimated usage value per reporting engineer across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, plus a ranked breakdown of the highest-usage engineers.
• ImprovedDesktop install invitations now explain that the app tracks costs and remaining usage limits across all three AI coding tools, and the email stays readable in dark-mode inboxes.
• ImprovedSuperPenguin Desktop 0.13.3 is now available to install from inside the app, with more dependable usage-limit reporting and fewer interruptions while you work.
• FixedFixed recent pull requests remaining missing after an interrupted repository refresh recovered. PR Costs now catches up immediately instead of waiting for a later refresh.

Cost per pull request now covers the Cursor work you do in your editor, not just cloud agent runs, and the desktop usage limits panel reports Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor again.

• NewPull requests now show the cost of Cursor work done in your editor. Each match is rated by how it was established, from the branch you were working on down to a model comparing what the conversation changed against the pull request, so most editor sessions now reach the pull request they contributed to.
• ImprovedThe share of Cursor spend attributed to pull requests is now measured against your full Cursor bill. It previously left out spend that could not be matched, which made coverage look higher than it was.
• FixedFixed pull requests going missing or stale on the PR Costs page. New and updated pull requests are picked up again.
• FixedThe desktop usage limits panel reports Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor limits again, and says why when a limit genuinely cannot be read instead of showing an empty or zeroed plan. Reading Claude Code usage no longer pushes Claude Code into its own rate limit, and SuperPenguin no longer takes keyboard focus while Claude Code is running.
• ImprovedSharing your AI coding usage limits with your company now asks once instead of repeating the prompt, and picks up an admin policy change right away.
• ImprovedPR Costs shows a page-shaped placeholder while it loads instead of a blank area, and the table no longer shows an internal label next to pull requests that have cost. Dashboard cards also carry a little more depth, so sections are easier to pick out.
• FixedCorrected Deepgram streaming rates in the pricing catalog so transcription spend is priced accurately.

Cost per pull request now counts the work your Cursor cloud agents did, and Cursor spend that cannot be tied to a pull request is shown plainly instead of quietly left out.

• NewPull requests now show the cost of the Cursor cloud agent work that produced them. Previously almost none of this reached the page, so pull requests that an agent wrote could look free.
• ImprovedCursor spend that cannot be confidently tied to a specific pull request is now listed as unmatched rather than dropped. The page adds up to what you were billed, and you can see how much is still unaccounted for instead of guessing.

Cost per pull request is now on for every Pro and Enterprise team automatically, and a new version of SuperPenguin Desktop is ready to install.

• NewCost per pull request now turns on by itself for every team on Pro or above. If your plan includes it, connect GitHub and it starts working, with nothing to request and nobody to wait on.
• NewSuperPenguin Desktop 0.13.1 is ready to install from inside the app. It separates spending included in your plan from spending beyond it using the same wording across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, rebuilds the coverage tiles to show whether usage came from a subscription or from credits, and reads Claude Code limits more often as an allowance runs low.
• ImprovedPull request costs settle faster during heavy activity. When several coding sessions finish at once, the affected pull requests now update in one pass instead of recalculating repeatedly.

PR cost attribution now works for every team on a Pro plan or above, starting the first time you connect GitHub.

• NewAny team on Pro or above can now see cost per pull request. Connect GitHub and start coding, and your pull requests fill in on their own with no setup step and no waiting for a historical import.
• ImprovedConnecting GitHub is more reliable. The first scan of your repositories now resumes on its own if it is interrupted, so a large account no longer ends up with an empty pull request list.
• ImprovedPull request costs update faster after you push. Only the pull requests you actually changed are recalculated.
• ImprovedAI Coding now uses the same within-plan and beyond-plan wording across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, so plan usage is easier to compare across tools.
• FixedFixed Claude Code usage being left out of plan coverage for sessions run outside the app, and for sessions that had no clear end.
• FixedFixed a Cursor model with no published price being counted as though it had been priced.

Card-free trials now give teams a clear path to evaluate SuperPenguin before choosing a paid plan.

• NewEligible teams can activate a Growth, Pro, or Enterprise trial without adding a payment card.
• ImprovedNew-team trials begin on first sign-in, so setup time does not reduce the evaluation period.
• ImprovedBilling now shows the active trial tier, end date, time remaining, and the plan that follows the trial.

PR Costs now connects more of the work behind each pull request and makes unmatched Cursor spend visible.

• NewPR Costs can now connect multiple coding sessions to one pull request and split a session across multiple pull requests, giving teams a fuller view of AI-assisted development cost.
• ImprovedDirect pull request creation and later contributions are recognized across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, so work is less likely to be missed when it spans branches or sessions.
• ImprovedCursor billing is now shown as attributed and unclassified spend together, so the page reconciles to the billed total instead of hiding the portion that has not been matched.
• ImprovedSuperPenguin Desktop now captures richer work structure for pull request matching while keeping prompt collection controlled by each person's privacy setting.
• FixedPull requests matched only to Claude Code or Codex now open correctly in the detail view.

A rebuilt superpenguin.ai, pull request costs for Claude Code and Codex, and a SuperPenguin Desktop that can explain your spend.

• NewSuperPenguin Desktop can now analyze a session and explain where its cost came from and what to change, without leaving the menu bar.
• NewPull request costs now include Claude Code and Codex work alongside Cursor, so a pull request shows what it cost across every coding tool your team uses.
• NewSettings now let each person choose whether their coding prompts are stored. Prompt storage is off by default, and turning it off does not stop pull request matching.
• ImprovedSuperPenguin Desktop signs you in through your browser and keeps you signed in across restarts, and it now shows how much of your Cursor plan allowance you have used this period.
• ImprovedAPI Keys has a redesigned page at a clearer address, and Attribution is now labelled SDK Attribution so it is easier to tell apart from AI Coding.
• Improvedsuperpenguin.ai has been redesigned, with new pages covering attribution, coding ROI, and pricing, and model pages now cite a source for every published specification.

Clearer project and session costs, more reliable pull request matching, and steadier live spend in SuperPenguin Desktop.

• NewSessions now break down input, output, cache read, and cache write tokens, with a clearer explanation of how each session’s cost was calculated.
• ImprovedPull request costs now match current Cursor conversations more reliably and refresh after GitHub or desktop data changes.
• ImprovedProjects stay visible in quiet date ranges, and SuperPenguin Desktop now explains how conversations are grouped into projects.
• FixedGitHub connections now report missing pull request access instead of appearing to sync successfully with incomplete data.
• FixedDesktop live spend stays steady while you work and settles cleanly as billed usage arrives, without stale peaks or sudden drops.

Custom model prices now follow the correct provider on more OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

• FixedFixed Amazon Bedrock requests appearing as OpenAI, so provider attribution and custom Bedrock prices apply correctly.
• FixedFixed Cloudflare-hosted models appearing under their model maker and corrected affected historical custom-priced totals.

Cursor spend now adds up to the same number wherever you look at it.

• FixedFixed Cursor spend that could be undercounted. Some usage went missing from your totals after it had already been recorded, which made spend look lower than it really was. Past months have been restored and the totals now stay complete.
• FixedSuperPenguin Desktop no longer adds an estimate on top of hours that have already been billed, so the amount it shows lines up with the web dashboard instead of running high.
• ImprovedDesktop estimates now cover only the most recent activity that has not been billed yet, and they clear out as soon as the real amount arrives.

Claude Code and Codex join Cursor in AI Coding, with clearer spend coverage and a redesigned API Keys page.

• NewAI Coding now includes Claude Code and Codex alongside Cursor, so you can see sessions, projects, and spend across the tools your team actually uses.
• NewSuperPenguin Desktop shows one Sessions list for Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, with a tool badge and a dollar amount on every session.
• NewOverview and Projects on Desktop filter by All, Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, and show what a subscription or credits covered versus what you should expect to be billed.
• ImprovedPull request costs can break out Claude Code and Codex spend next to Cursor, with a clear label for each tool.
• ImprovedThe API Keys page is clearer: rename and revoke without clutter from the top bar, and Escape cancels a rename in progress.
• ImprovedThe Mac menu bar Day Sheet is faster to open and easier to dismiss, with fresher local spend while you work.
• FixedDesktop no longer shows your whole team’s Cursor spend when it cannot tell which Cursor account this Mac uses.
• FixedSlack spend alerts no longer repeat the same daily spike link, and monthly alert labels use a consistent calendar month.

Clearer AI Coding Insights from the desktop app, easier teammate setup, and fresher Cursor billing.

• FixedAI Coding Insights now shows activity from SuperPenguin Desktop even when local environment details were not uploaded.
• NewInvite teammates to install SuperPenguin Desktop, and see who on your team is already connected.
• ImprovedCursor billing updates appear sooner in AI Coding and related spend views.
• ImprovedAI Coding and PR Costs setup now walk you through GitHub and the desktop app, without skill-file steps.

Spend tracking stays reliable during brief planned maintenance.

• ImprovedYour SDK usage continues to record correctly even if our database is briefly unavailable for maintenance.
• ImprovedPricing stays available for new traffic during those windows so costs still calculate.
