AI Usage
Read full descriptionHide full description
Track your AI service usage and stay within your limits. THE PROBLEM AI services have usage quotas. You lose track. Limits hit at the worst time. WHY CHECKING MANUALLY ISN'T ENOUGH Each service has its own settings page โ but nobody opens five different apps to check usage one by one until it's too late. THE SOLUTION AIUsage tracks your AI service quotas โ Claude, Cursor, Antigravity, and more. See exactly how much you've used, how much is left, and when it resets. Simple. Visual. No more surprise limits. Support: steve_ham@icloud.com
Headroom
Read full descriptionHide full description
Headroom keeps every AI coding assistant's usage limit in one place, so you always know how much you have left before you hit a wall. Link your Claude, Codex, and Cursor accounts and Headroom shows your session and weekly limits, exactly when each one resets, and how close you are to running out โ at a glance, without digging through separate dashboards. FEATURES โข Live usage rings for each service โ session (5-hour) and weekly or monthly limits โข A countdown to your next reset, so you can plan around it โข Home Screen widgets in multiple sizes โข Lock Screen widgets โ circular, rectangular, and inline โข A Live Activity with a ticking countdown on your Lock Screen โข Dynamic Island support โ choose which services appear front and center โข Usage history charts to spot trends over time โข Pull-to-refresh plus automatic background updates PRIVATE BY DESIGN Headroom has no servers, no analytics, and no account of its own. Your credentials are stored only in your device's Keychain and are sent only to the provider they belong to. Widgets and the Live Activity see only percentages and reset times โ never your tokens or email. Nothing about you is ever collected. FREE Headroom is completely free, with every feature included. If it ever saves you from hitting a limit at the worst moment, an optional in-app tip is appreciated, but will never be required. Headroom is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, or Cursor. Claude, Codex, and Cursor are trademarks of their respective owners.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AI Usage at none against Headroom's 3. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
