OpenRouter is a router, not a host: one API key reaches models served by many providers, and it bills the provider’s rate plus a fee when you buy credits.

Every model OpenRouter prices, with its score

Prices are US dollars per million tokens, read from OpenRouter model catalog (public API) on the date above. The score is our 100-point rating of the model, the same on every host. “vs maker” compares this host’s output rate with the model maker’s own API.

  • Per-token prices follow the provider OpenRouter routes the request to, so the rate in its catalog is the default route’s rate, not a fixed OpenRouter price.
  • Credits are prepaid. Models whose ID ends in :free cost nothing per token and run under request caps described on our free-tier page.

We paid for 900 requests on OpenRouter

OpenRouter posted the fastest median latency on both reference models, the lowest invoiced cost per million tokens on DeepSeek Flash, and GLM-5.2 within 23% of the cheapest platform. No alternative in this run was both cheaper and faster on either model. It scored 97 of 100, first of 5 platforms we scored.

Run on September 1, 2026 with 450 requests per model: short prompts, 20,000-token documents and tool calls. Method and every invoice are on the OpenRouter alternatives audit.

Hosts that sell the same models

Each row counts the scored models both hosts price, and how many of those cost less per output token there than on OpenRouter.

Questions

How much does the OpenRouter API cost?

OpenRouter bills per million tokens, with separate input and output rates for each model. On October 20, 2026 its output rates ran from $0.03 on Mistral Nemo to $600.00 across 422 paid models. Input is usually cheaper than output, so a long prompt with a short reply costs less than the output rate suggests.

Which models can you run on OpenRouter?

441 text models are listed, and 185 of them match a model we score. The highest-scoring is Claude Opus 5 at 88. The table on this page has every model with its input, output and cached-input rate, the context window, and the date we read the price.

Is OpenRouter fast?

In our paid September 1, 2026 run, OpenRouter returned a median of 0.76 seconds on DeepSeek V4 Flash and 1.20 seconds on GLM-5.2, over 450 requests per model. That is one workload on one date, so check your own prompts before you rely on it.

What are the alternatives to OpenRouter?

DeepInfra lists 57 of the same models and charges less output per token on 12 of them. Novita AI and Together AI also overlap. Price is only part of the choice: speed, rate limits and which model snapshot a host serves differ too.
