Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors.

The short answer

Free plan: Both have one
Public API: Both have one

What our research says

EUrouter

A straight answer to a specific procurement problem: European teams that cannot send prompts to a US endpoint but still want the whole model catalogue behind one key. The OpenAI-compatible schema means existing code moves over with a base URL change, and the markup shrinks from 15% to 3% as you climb tiers. It competes head-on with OpenRouter and wins mainly on jurisdiction, not on price or model count.

Pros

173 models from ten-plus providers behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Requests route through EU infrastructure, with GDPR compliance as the default
Automatic routing by price, quality or latency rather than a fixed model choice
Token markup falls from 15% to 3% as you move up the plans
The operating company is named and registered in Amsterdam with a public registration number

Cons

The plan fee is only part of the cost — token usage carries a percentage markup on top
Prices are set in euros, so USD costs move with the exchange rate
The free tier's 15% markup makes it the most expensive per token
As a proxy layer it adds a hop and depends on upstream provider availability

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

Which one fits

Choose EUrouter if you need

EU companies with data residency clauses in their contracts
Teams already writing against the OpenAI client library
Anyone comparing 170-plus models without signing separate provider contracts

Choose LiteLLM if you need

Platform teams giving many internal developers governed access to several LLM vendors
Developers who want to switch or fall back between model providers without rewriting code
Organisations that must keep prompts and keys inside their own infrastructure
