TheRouter.ai
TheRouter.ai adds routing and governance to AI provider access through an OpenAI-compatible interface. Developers can bring provider keys, configure automatic failover, track token usage and spending, and set limits by team or key. Approved model baskets support optional cost-aware routing and shadow testing. The site publishes model-specific usage prices and distinguishes pay-as-you-go access from bring-your-own-key economics. A universal starting charge is not confirmed, and BYOK may still incur platform fees. Cost-aware model-basket optimization is labeled beta, while request logs provide routing and billing evidence.
