All of our devs use AI to some extent. The amount of money we spend on AI some months is kinda high which makes me a bit sad since I wish we could use it more and more efficiently so I'm kinda at a loss at times as to what kind of strategy or solution I should implement other than just limiting tokens.

We get great results out of AI and we're absolutely more productive because of it, but I just wish it was better, it's all split between coding agents, workflows, third party and internal tools. It is worth it but costs are getting kinda high.

How much do you guys spend each month? If anyone here is in a dev team or managing one, how do you handle or strategize around the AI spend? What do you spend the most on?

We're building a large app with TanStack Router + Query and we're starting to think about localization. Looking for a platform that handles the full pipeline, translation management, string extraction, and CI/CD sync, not just a runtime library like react-i18next.

What localization engineering platform works best with TanStack? Would love some recommendations or suggestions.

I've tried some but most that I've tried aren't all that good, we love Clay and would love to keep using it but it's cost factor has made us look for some alternatives for quite some time now.

What do you guys use? Are there any that can get to the level of capabilities and usability that Clay has?
