This site is cheap to run, but not free — each daily digest makes a series of Claude Code API calls (reading the feeds, searching the web, writing the post). The numbers below are recorded automatically after every run for visibility into where the money goes — the headline figures cover the current month, and the table breaks down the last 7 days, one row per day.

⚠️ Warning
Costs are client-side estimates reported by Claude Code, not authoritative billing figures. They’re great for spotting trends but won’t match your invoice to the penny. Token counts include the model’s reasoning, tool use, and the full prompt context (which is re-sent each run, since daily runs are too far apart to share a prompt cache).
The aggregator (RSS fetching), Hugo build, and GitHub Pages hosting are all free, so this is effectively the entire cost of the project.
