Zerouter alternatives

Zerouter gives developers one API key and base URL for many hosted AI models, billed per token from a prepaid balance, with OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints and per-call usage logging. When choosing a replacement, compare platform support, whether a free tier exists, which modalities are covered, how routing and failover work, and which team controls, such as budgets or per-user keys, you need.
