Routing intelligence — not token reselling
A paid AI gateway: connect your provider API keys, route across models with intelligent failover, and pay a fixed platform fee. Providers bill tokens — we never resell them.

Why teams pay for the router
Problem: scattered keys
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and 200+ more. Keys stay yours; Better Router stores them encrypted and never resells tokens.
Problem: fragile single-model paths
Fewer dead ends: cost-aware fallbacks, priority routes, and multi-model combos so requests keep flowing.
Problem: spend is hard to control
See requests, tokens, latency, and errors in one place. Set budgets so platform and upstream spend stay visible.
Problem: one model is not enough
Mix models from different providers behind a single key — failover, round-robin, cost-first, quality-first.
Problem: tool output burns tokens
RTK, Caveman, and Lite shrink tool-heavy prompts so you often spend less at your providers on agent workloads.
Problem: blind spend
Every request logged: cost, latency, errors, provider health — one glass-clear control tower.
How it works
Cloud workspace, no install. Four steps from signup to routed traffic.

Add OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and free-tier providers you already use.
Use a strategy or multi-model combo so free capacity and paid models work together.
Point CLI tools and apps at your Better endpoint — the router does the rest.
Integrate fast
Drop in your Better API key and keep your existing client SDKs.

Platform fee. Not token markup.
Clear commercial terms for a paid gateway.
No. Better Router is paid from Basic ($8/mo). Free tokens come from third-party provider free tiers you connect — not from a free Better Router plan.
No. Bring your own keys (BYOK). Providers bill you for usage. Better Router charges a fixed platform fee for routing intelligence and control.
It is a beta-safe estimate of potential aggregate free capacity across eligible free-tier providers when connected. It is not a guarantee and depends on provider limits, region, account status, and terms.
Pick a plan, create your account, connect provider keys, choose a routing strategy or combo, and call your OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Platform plans can be paid with Stripe (cards worldwide) or MercadoPago (Latin America) when those rails are enabled for your deployment.
Discover free provider capacity, keep your keys, and route with intelligence — from $8/month.
