OpenRouter is a third-party gateway that routes to many upstream models through one API. Gateway quotes are often among the lowest on the site, but availability, rate limits and routing can vary between models, so a low headline price is worth verifying against your own workload.
It lists 390 models on this page. 364 of them have a public price. 22 are offered at $0. Coverage spans text and chat (376), image generation (9), speech and audio (3), and classification and safety (2). The lowest-priced model hosted here is Mistral Nemo.
OpenRouter is the lowest paid channel for 64 models that have at least two competing paid hosts, which is where its pricing genuinely leads rather than being the only option.
