Vaudit Launches TokenAudit to Recover Millions in Enterprise Token Spend Billing Errors From Anthropic, OpenAI, and AI Providers
Launches TokenAudit to Bring Independent Verification to AI Billing
Vaudit, the company building an independent verification layer across AI, cloud and enterprise billing, today launched TokenAudit to help companies audit AI bills against contract terms and recover money when billing errors occur. Since March, Vaudit has reviewed $34 million in AI spending across 60 companies and identified nearly $1.7 million in mistaken overcharges, with roughly 80% credited back by providers or cloud platforms, including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Anthropic and OpenAI.
Worldwide AI spending is projected to reach $2.59 trillion in 2026, up 47% year over year, with AI infrastructure expected to account for more than 45% of total spend, according to Gartner. But as enterprises scale AI adoption across multiple model providers, model versions, and cloud platforms, billing is becoming harder to verify. Each vendor calculates usage inside its own system, leaving finance and engineering teams without a clear way to confirm whether invoices match what was actually used. The problem is becoming more urgent as “tokenmaxxing” moves from an engineering quirk to a business risk, with agent loops, retry storms, prompt bloat, routing issues, and failed requests quietly driving up costs.
