What is Props AI?

Props AI is a monitoring and billing platform designed for teams running AI applications in production. It tracks how your AI models perform in real-world conditions, measures costs across different model providers, and identifies where latency issues occur. The platform integrates with your existing code through SDKs for Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript, then routes requests intelligently to balance speed, quality, and expense. It's built for startups and teams that need visibility into AI spending without heavy engineering overhead. Props AI handles usage-based billing through Stripe integration, so you can charge users fairly based on actual model costs.

Pros & Cons

Advantages

  • Free starter plan makes it accessible to test before committing budget
  • Minimal code changes required for integration using standard SDKs
  • Handles billing automation through Stripe, reducing manual work
  • Intelligently routes requests to optimise for your preferred balance of cost, speed, and quality

Limitations

  • Requires upfront integration work; not a drop-in solution for all application types
  • Limited to supported languages; teams using Go, Rust, or other languages need custom solutions
