A leading LLM API router and credit-selling platform that lets you use 500+ models from 80+ providers with one API key
Information updated 2026-10-21, source: official site and public reports. Prices and benefits may change. Check the official site before you pay.
Pros
- Model prices are the same as the original providers (no inference markup)
- Switch models, fallbacks and automatic routing with one OpenAI-compatible API
- Free models 50 times per day
- No fee for BYOK up to $25,000 per month
Cons
- 5.5% fee for cards (minimum $0.80) and 5% for crypto when buying credits
- Platform fees are non-refundable
- No Korean UI or KRW payment
- One more intermediate layer is added when outages happen
These are opinions compiled by Pickx from public sources.
Cautions
Unused credits may expire 1 year after purchase (terms). Refunds are given only for the unused portion within 24 hours of purchase, and crypto payments are non-refundable. Prompts are not stored by default, but turning on the 'allow training' toggle also routes to providers that keep logs → check your data settings
At a glance
An LLM router that bundles the APIs of several AI companies under one key and one payment. Model prices are the same as the original providers, and it earns money from the platform fee (5.5%) added when you top up credits. It is widely used by developers and vibe coders to compare several models or when overseas payment is a hassle.

Who it suits / Who should avoid it
- Suits: Developers who swap between several models with the same code, and users of BYOK tools such as Cline/Cursor
- Suits: People who want to lightly experiment with APIs using free models
- Avoid: General users who only use chat apps like ChatGPT, and companies that need a tax invoice in KRW
Compared with subscribing to the original services directly
- Token unit prices are the same but 5.5% is added when you top up → for small-volume users it effectively costs 5.5% more
- In exchange you do not need to create and pay for separate OpenAI/Anthropic/Google accounts
- You do not get the volume discounts or commitment benefits available through direct contracts with providers
