OpenRouter gives one API to 462 models from 64 providers, billed per token at each provider’s price, with a 5.5% fee when you buy credits. Each model’s own terms apply on top of OpenRouter’s.

Our verdict on OpenRouter

OpenRouter suits a webmaster who wants to plug one or several models into a site through a single API, with no subscription, paying only for usage.

What OpenRouter really costs

OpenRouter adds no markup on model prices and charges a 5.5% fee on credit purchases on Standard, 8% on Business. Credits are bought from $5 to $25,000 per transaction, by card, AliPay or crypto, and may expire 365 days after purchase. Unused credits can be refunded within 24 hours, fees excluded, and crypto payments are never refunded.

Twenty models are free, capped at 50 requests a day in total, or 1,000 a day once you have bought at least 10 credits. Prompts and completions are not logged by default, and opting in to logging earns a 1% discount.

Uncensored roleplay models on OpenRouter

The catalog has few uncensored roleplay models: four carry such names, two Euryale 70B versions, Magnum 72B and a Dolphin Mistral 24B edition. Euryale 3.3 costs $0.65 per million input tokens and $0.75 output, Magnum $2.50 and $5.00.
