AI Cost Guardrails-CNXT

AI Cost Guardrails-CNXT is an AI cost-control WordPress plugin that caps and monitors AI spending before a site's token usage runs away. It sets site-wide and per-source monthly limits on USD, requests, and tokens, and it starts in a non-blocking Monitoring mode so you can watch real usage before switching to Enforcement mode, which actively blocks requests once a limit is hit. The free tier covers those core limits; the Pro 1.5 tier adds seven specialized guardrails: token velocity (rolling one-minute and one-hour caps), source-aware burst control, repeated-request detection, per-request size limits, retry-storm prevention, model spend caps, and execution-context filtering. Each subscription protects one normalized production hostname, and the Agency plan covers up to ten hostnames, which fits agencies running AI features across several client sites. For teams comparing the best AI for WordPress cost control, this plugin's value is that it enforces budgets at the request level rather than just reporting spend after the fact.
