What our research says

AnyAPI

A straight OpenRouter-shaped gateway: one key, many models, drop-in OpenAI SDK compatibility, and fallback when a provider stumbles. The tiered monthly plans are unusual for this category, where most rivals charge pure usage. Nothing about the operator is disclosed, which is a real consideration when every prompt you send passes through them.

Pros

Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK across ~400 models
Routing and automatic fallback between providers
Free credits plus a $20 pay-as-you-go path before committing monthly
Ships a CLI and a browser playground alongside the API

Cons

No company name, address or country anywhere on the site
Monthly tiers on top of token cost, unlike usage-only competitors
Uptime claim of 99.99% is unbacked by any published status page or SLA

LiteLLM

LiteLLM is the default pick for a platform team that wants one OpenAI-compatible door to many model vendors, with per-team budgets and keys, without paying a hosted router a margin. The SDK is just as useful to a single developer who wants to swap providers with a one-line change. Running the gateway reliably, including its database and scaling, is your job, and the governance features that large companies ask for sit behind the Enterprise licence.

Pros

One OpenAI-style interface to 100+ providers, in an SDK and a self-hosted proxy
Virtual keys, spend tracking by key, user and team, budgets and rate limits in the free gateway
Retry and fallback routing across deployments, plus MCP and agent gateways
Self-hosted, so traffic and keys stay in your own environment

Cons

You run and scale the proxy yourself, including its database and upgrades
SSO, SCIM, audit logs and SLAs require the Enterprise licence, priced only by quote
The unified format can lag behind provider-specific features on new models
