Show HN: CCLeaderboard – See who's burning through the most Claude Code tokens

2•fokkedekker•7mo ago

Ever wondered who's racking up the biggest Claude Code bills? Now you can find out. I built CCLeaderboard after someone suggested making a token usage leaderboard on Reddit. It tracks and ranks Claude Code users by their total token consumption. How it works:

Install the CLI tool (npm/npx compatible) It reads your local Claude Code token data Submit your stats to climb the leaderboard Updates daily or on-demand

Current features:

Real-time leaderboard updates Daily and all-time rankings Simple username/email system (email acts as your private key - we never send emails) Automatic handling of timezone differences Smart deduplication - submit multiple times without inflating your numbers

Tech details:

Static site on Cloudflare API backend with SQL on LiquidMetal AI Node CLI that reads Claude Code's local storage

This is a genius idea that I think will do really well. My hunch is that there is lots of enterprise demand for something like this so execs could see which team members are the most effective with AI.

Oh that makes me think we should add team competitions haha which company ranks the highest.

TBH I would look at that and decide where I want to work. How much AI you use is a direct factor in where I want to work.

You can't possibly figure out who's the most effective by looking at token usage only. That makes no sense.

fokkedekker•7mo ago

As a metric alone no agreed, but I do think there is some truth in it. Someone not using anything wouldn't use it much so likely not effectively on the other end of the spectrum though someone burning through a billion tokens might be super effective or not at all.

Awesome idea. I was in the lead for about 2 seconds. :-).
