The best AI models.
At the best price.
Plug GPT-5, Claude, Gemini and a dozen more best-in-class models into one key. Text, images and video — below official prices, no VPN, pay by card, SBP or crypto.
The same top models — up to 50% cheaper
Text, images and video — our price against the official one, which savings are calculated from.
Cheaper doesn’t mean worse
Popular models are reachable more than one way. If one path errors or stalls, the request takes another on its own — you just get your answer, with nothing to switch by hand.
Pay however you like
No blocked cards, no workarounds. Top up your balance the way you’re used to.
What the people already on it say
Real answers from users, not rewritten into marketing.
I've been using it for a few weeks — so far only good things. Everything works fast and without extra hassle. What I liked most is that I didn't have to spend long figuring it out: the interface is clear and the features I need are always at hand. Recommended.
Convenient, simple and clear. I use it with pleasure, recommended.
All great, the service fully lived up to my expectations. 5 out of 5!
The short answers
Can I use these models without a VPN?
Yes. altrouter is the gateway: your requests go to api.altrouter.ai, and we are the ones talking to OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. No VPN is needed for the API, the dashboard or payments.
Do 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.
Which models are available?
The catalog holds 44 models from 9 providers: 24 for text (GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Sonnet 5, Gemini 3 Pro, Grok 4.5 and others), 13 for images and 7 for video. The interface is OpenAI-compatible: if your code already calls OpenAI, you change the base_url and the key.
Browse the catalog →What 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, from 10% to 50% 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 tokens →How is this different from OpenRouter?
The same OpenAI-compatible API, with payment methods that work from Russia and prices below official ones. The catalog is narrower: there is no DeepSeek and no Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint, so Claude Code and other tools that target it will not connect. If that is your main scenario, better to know now.
Is 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 rules →What 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.
