Claude Platform spend template

You can use the AI Cost Monitoring: Claude Platform template (the Claude Platform spend template) to monitor your organization’s Claude Platform (API) spend and usage. If your Claude Platform cost and usage export data is stored in a data platform connected to Sigma, you can use the Claude Platform spend template to review an executive cost overview, token metrics, and spend and usage broken down by model and workspace.

The template is set up with sample data, so you can explore the analysis before you connect your own data.

System and user requirements

The ability to use the Claude Platform spend template requires the following:

• You must be assigned an account type with the Create, edit, and publish workbooks permission enabled.
• To use your own data, your organization must be connected to a data platform containing your Claude Platform cost and usage export tables (see Data sources). Otherwise, you can use the template with the provided sample data.

Data sources

The template expects data exported from the Claude Platform usage and cost API, landed in your warehouse. The template uses sample tables in the Sigma Sample Connection, but you can change the source to your organization’s own data if it exists in your data platform. Costs are reported in United States dollars (USD), so no credit-to-dollar conversion is needed.

The Claude Platform spend template expects the data in the following structure:
