OpenRouter
ActifL'interface unifiée pour tous les modèles
OpenRouter is the de-facto standard LLM gateway: one OpenAI-compatible API exposing 500+ models across 80+ providers, with unified billing, automatic failover, and no lock-in. It's an excellent default for model comparison and multi-provider routing. The conditions: a ~5.5% platform fee makes direct provider access cheaper at single-model scale, and Stripe agreed to acquire OpenRouter on August 19, 2026 (agreed, not closed, no price disclosed), leaving routing neutrality an on-record pledge rather than a structural guarantee. Best for developers and startups who value flexibility over the lowest per-token price.
Stateless per-request relay router — each call is routed fresh to a model and returned memory-less; no carried-context agent loop.
Est-ce fait pour vous ?
Recommandé pour
- Accéder à 500+ modèles répartis sur 80+ fournisseurs via une seule API OpenAI-compatible, sans intégrations par fournisseur
- Comparer, benchmarker et permuter les modèles en A/B en cours de projet sans aucune modification du code applicatif (aucun verrouillage fournisseur)
- Basculement automatique entre fournisseurs et optimisation de la disponibilité lorsqu'un fournisseur en amont se dégrade
- Prototyper des workflows multi-modèles et agentiques où la flexibilité des modèles prime sur le coût brut par token
Déconseillé pour
- Charges de travail mono-modèle à fort volume — les tarifs directs des fournisseurs sont plus avantageux que les ~5.5% de frais de plateforme
- Acheteurs qui ont besoin d'une couche de routage à la neutralité garantie — la propriété du routeur par Stripe reste une question ouverte
- Cas d'usage stricts en matière de résidence des données et de gouvernance, mieux servis par une passerelle d'entreprise auto-hébergée ou gouvernée

Description said the announcement made no commitment about independence or neutrality; OpenRouter's own post pledges to operate as it is, keep neutrality, and expects to close in the coming weeks. Description and sources corrected. No close primary found, so status stays active and the rating stays conditional. Pricing tiers (Free/Standard 5.5%/Business 8%/Enterprise) match the pricing page.
- Statut· Aucun changement
Agent automatisé
Status stays active. Stripe newsroom (19 Aug 2026) re-read 2026-09-14: 'has agreed to acquire OpenRouter', no close date, no price, no update note; no close announcement. openrouter.ai/pricing re-read: Free 25+ free models, 4 free providers, 50 requests/day; Pay-as-you-go 5.5% platform fee, 500+ models, 80+ providers; Enterprise fee discounts. All match stored tiers. Unresolved, not written: the pricing summary also mentioned a 'Business plan' with an '8%' platform fee that is not in stored tiers; the reading was ambiguous (plan vs fee line) and needs a direct re-read before any tier is added. entity_id reused from prior log rows for this slug (all-zero value, likely a placeholder).
- Statut· Mis à jour
Agent automatisé
status acquired -> active (CORRECTION of our own field, not a vendor change). Re-read the Stripe primary: it says Stripe 'has agreed to acquire OpenRouter', with no price and no expected closing date; openrouter.ai carries no statement of a completed deal or Stripe ownership. The deal is still AGREED, NOT CLOSED as of 2026-09-07, so the stored status 'acquired' overstated the evidence and contradicted the entity's own verdict_summary ('agreed, not closed'). Set back to active; it moves to acquired only on close. Rating held at conditional and NO verdict moved. Also refreshed a stale metric: description said 10M+ users routing '200T+ monthly tokens'; the live homepage advertises 400T+. This resolves the watchlist's 200T-vs-300T comparison inconsistency by fetch rather than by picking a stored side: neither figure was current. 500+ models, 80+ providers, 10M+ users all re-verified unchanged.
- Statut· Mis à jour
Agent automatisé
status active → acquired. Stripe's own newsroom officially announced on 2026-08-19 that it has AGREED to acquire OpenRouter, upgrading the prior Bloomberg/TechCrunch secondary reporting to a primary-confirmed fact. Deal is agreed, NOT closed; Stripe disclosed no price and made no commitment on OpenRouter's independence or routing neutrality. Description rewritten to state the primary confirmation and the pending-close nuance. Pricing unchanged (5.5% platform fee, 500+ models / 80+ providers re-verified on openrouter.ai today). Rating stays conditional; verdict_summary rewrite staged for the announcing post's publish step.
