The short answers
What people ask before their first top-up: vendor accounts, payment, prices and data.
Do I need an OpenAI, Anthropic or Google account?
No. altrouter is the gateway: your requests go to api.altrouter.ai, and we are the ones talking to OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. You only need an account with us.
How the API worksDo I need a foreign card to pay?
No. You can top up by card, SBP or crypto (USDT, BTC). Virtual cards, intermediaries and dollar-denominated payments are not part of the flow - we hold the balance and settle with the vendors ourselves.
Getting an API keyWhich models are available?
The catalog holds 128 models from 18 providers: 54 for text (GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 Terra, Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok 4.7 and others), 37 for images and 37 for video. The interface is OpenAI-compatible: if your code already calls OpenAI, you change the base_url and the key.
Browse the catalogWhat does it cost, and is anything free?
Billing is per token, with no subscription and no monthly fee - you pay for what you actually spend. Prices sit below the vendors’ official rates, up to 64% off depending on the model. There are no free models, but a welcome $1 is granted once, for a confirmed Telegram account.
Prices per 1M tokensHow is this different from OpenRouter?
The same OpenAI-compatible API, with payment methods that work from Russia and prices below official ones. There is an Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint too, so Claude Code connects. The catalog is narrower: about 120 curated models rather than several hundred, with few open-weight ones.
The same OpenAI-compatible API referenceIs it safe to pay, and what happens to my data?
Balance movements - top-ups, holds, captures, releases - form an append-only ledger that is never pruned, so "where did the money go" is answerable for any period. The request log (parameters, model, tokens, cost) is kept for a year; generated files are kept indefinitely, with links that do not expire.
Data retention rulesWhat is altrouter and who is behind it?
altrouter is a gateway to text, image and video models through one key and one account. We hold the contracts and balances with the vendors, watch availability, and route a request to a fallback when a provider returns an error or times out.
