Problem: scattered keys
BYOK — your keys, encrypted
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and 200+ more. Keys stay yours; Better Router stores them encrypted and never resells tokens.
Routing intelligence — not token reselling
Pay for the router. Keep your keys.
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
Pay for intelligence. Stay in control of spend.
Problem: fragile single-model paths
Automatic failover & smart routing
Fewer dead ends: cost-aware fallbacks, priority routes, and multi-model combos so requests keep flowing.
Problem: spend is hard to control
Usage visibility & budgets
See requests, tokens, latency, and errors in one place. Set budgets so platform and upstream spend stay visible.
Problem: one model is not enough
Multi-model combos
Mix models from different providers behind a single key — failover, round-robin, cost-first, quality-first.
Problem: tool output burns tokens
Prompt compression included
RTK, Caveman, and Lite shrink tool-heavy prompts so you often spend less at your providers on agent workloads.
Problem: blind spend
Real-time analytics
Every request logged: cost, latency, errors, provider health — one glass-clear control tower.

Questions, answered
Clear commercial terms for a paid gateway.
Is there a free trial or free plan?+
No. Better Router is paid from Starter ($8/mo). Free tokens come from third-party provider free tiers you connect — not from a free Better Router plan.
Do you resell tokens?+
No. Bring your own keys (BYOK). Providers bill you for usage. Better Router charges a fixed platform fee for routing intelligence and control.
What does “1B+ free tokens” mean?+
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.
How do I start?+
Pick a plan, create your account, connect provider keys, choose a routing strategy or combo, and call your OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Stripe and MercadoPago?+
Platform plans can be paid with Stripe (cards worldwide) or MercadoPago (Latin America) when those rails are enabled for your deployment.
Every model. One paid plan.
Discover free provider capacity, keep your keys, and route with intelligence — from $8/month.
