1Password has launched AI Spend and Consumption Management, a new feature within its SaaS Manager platform designed to give IT and finance teams real-time insights into AI service usage and spending from providers like Anthropic, Cursor, and OpenAI. This move expands 1Password’s portfolio beyond password management into enterprise AI cost control, addressing the unpredictable and consumption-based pricing models of AI, which traditional software budgets struggle to handle. The tool consolidates token-level data across vendors, offers budget controls, and breaks down usage by team, user, and model, aiming to prevent unexpected spikes in AI spending caused by agentic workflows. This new capability reflects growing demand as enterprises face rapid growth in AI token consumption, with forecasts predicting a 24-fold increase by 2030. 1Password integrates this feature with its established identity security and SaaS governance foundation, ensuring visibility into who is spending and whether the expenditure delivers value. The launch is timely, as AI costs become a significant concern in enterprise budgets, echoing past challenges seen with cloud infrastructure costs. Currently available in public preview, the product will gain broader availability in fall 2026.
