FAQ

What is OpenRouter?

OpenRouter is an aggregator that routes requests to models from many providers behind one API. That simplifies access but adds a routing layer, and prices reflect each underlying provider plus any markup. It suits experimentation across models rather than a single-vendor deployment.

Is an aggregator cheaper than going direct?

Not always. Aggregators add convenience and fallback options, but per-token rates can be higher than provider-direct pricing, and routing decisions may change which model serves a request. Compare both at your exact volume and check whether you need the extra flexibility.

Can Plugsky replace an aggregator?

Plugsky provides 30+ models through one OpenAI-compatible API, which covers the most common routing need without managing multiple keys. If you rely on long-tail models, check availability first. The free plan includes 2 free models, and a 14-day full-access trial is available.
