Check out new cost analytics in your [dashboard](https://pickaxe.co/user/dashboard)! If you have more than 100 uses across your account, you should now see a breakdown of your costs by day, pickaxe, and studio! ![Screenshot 2025-10-29 at 6.04.49 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/b/b7c865e67ffd2fd35113bb78139dc1535489c6af.png) ---

These analytics work well in conjunction with other recent changes to improve users’ ability to monitor and plan credit usage, such as new [model cost estimates](https://community.pickaxe.co/t/model-cost-estimates-in-the-builder/7422/2)in the builder! ---

Must make the graphs interactive to select period, for example, the cost for today is $20 on the left, I need to see what tool ate that much budget in the middle. At the moment only shows totals which are not helpful. Cost by user would also be helpful and cost by site vs embed vs API, all in day, month, lifetime ---

Actually, we already have cost by user! I explain below how to grab it, we’ll be surfacing it in more places soon (with more fine grained controls). As for time-selection options in the dash analytics, those should be coming later today or tomorrow actually! Stay tuned 🙂 To get cost by user, first head over to the users panel: ![Screenshot 2025-11-05 at 12.24.21 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/b/b5ed09834e77fb7d90e1b3df6e3c4d4b02bfbf04.png) Then click on a user: ![Screenshot 2025-11-05 at 12.25.02 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/7/76ab315f89c1b45381694601971cd1a2917dbc59.png) Then click on User Profile, then open Additional Stats to see that user’s cost: ![Screenshot 2025-11-05 at 12.25.59 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/7/7597c5e10a03a8773725f1d6b24bdb506b9cd116.png) ---

And I cannot see their costs and I cannot ban their IP ---

Our system works using cookies, we stopped using ip address because it causes other problems. But an option to allow you to ban certain ips is a phenomenal idea. If you’d add it as a feature request and tag me, I’ll make sure it gets done in the next week or 2.
