One OpenAI-compatible API for hundreds of AI models with no price markup
Updated
OpenRouter is a unified API for text, image, video and audio AI models that developers reach with one OpenAI-compatible endpoint and one key. Inference is billed at each provider's list price, and the Standard plan adds a 5.5% fee on credit purchases. A Free plan includes 25+ free models.
Developers send requests to one endpoint, choose a model by name and let OpenRouter route to a provider. The fee applies when buying credits, not to individual requests.
Developers and teams building with multiple AI models. Business adds in-region routing and a signed DPA on request.
Free has 25+ free models, 20 requests per minute and 50 per day, rising to 1,000 per day after $10 of credits. Standard is pay-as-you-go with a 5.5% platform fee on credit purchases. Business is pay-as-you-go at 8%. Enterprise adds SSO and SLAs. Inference has no markup.
OpenRouter works through an OpenAI-compatible API and an MCP server, and runs agent CLIs such as Claude Code and Codex. Model providers include OpenAI and Anthropic.
Langfuse and LangSmith are observability tools for LLM apps. Not Diamond focuses on model routing. Vellum is a prompt and workflow platform, and Unify AI is another router.
