OpenRouter
Pay-per-token unified gateway across 200+ AI models
Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.
OpenRouter is a unified API and chat front-end across 200+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek and more. Pay only for tokens you use — no per-vendor monthly subscriptions. Free credits and free-tier models available.
Editor's verdict
If you use multiple models occasionally rather than one daily, this beats stacking ChatGPT Plus + Claude Pro + Gemini Advanced subscriptions. Markup over direct API is small (~5%). Catch: no extra polish — no projects, no memory, no advanced UI features. Use it for the gateway, run heavy daily work in the official apps.
Use cases
- pay-per-token across 200 models
