Money flow
Where the spend went, useful or wasted.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
A money flow chart follows spend from models to the agents that used it and on to what it bought, such as answers, tool calls, retries and failures, marking each flow useful or wasted. Use it for model spend and cloud cost reviews.

Three signs it fits, and three signs another type fits better.
Code and Figma
One name in Figma and in code.
Every Figma property is a prop with the same name and values. One command installs it.

hello@usechartory.comModels on the left (Atlas 3 $3,880), the agents that used them in the middle (Triage, Docs, Research) and what the spend bought on the right (answers, tool calls, retries, failed).
The flows in the wasted colour named in the legend, such as retries ($940) and failed calls ($340).
One data object in the sample’s shape: amounts from models to agents to outcomes. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete, the React component with Code and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/money-flow. You review the diff.
