AkaRouter
Pay per request. Not per token. 11 frontier models.
One API key for 11 frontier LLMs (Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.x, Gemini 3.1 Pro). Flat per-call pricing — same $0.08 Opus whether your prompt is 5K or 200K tokens. Drop-in OpenAI-compatible endpoint for Claude Code, Cursor, scripts, anything.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 — built AkaRouter because per-token billing was
killing my Claude Code bills. Same Opus 4.8 call that costs $0.90 via
direct API costs $0.08 through AkaRouter — flat, regardless of
prompt size.
The insight: most of my prompts were short, but every now and then
I'd hit a 200K context window and the bill would spike 40x. With
flat per-call, I can use the full context without thinking about it.
What you actually get:
• One OpenAI-compatible endpoint at api.akarouter.dev/v1
• Same API key works for Claude Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5,
GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.3 Codex Spark, Gemini 3.1 Pro, MiniMax M3,
Step 3.7 Flash, Nemotron Ultra, Owl Alpha
• Drop-in: change base_url + api_key in Claude Code, Cursor,
Continue.dev, or any OpenAI SDK — zero code changes
• Free tier: 100 points on signup, 10/day cap, no card
• Starter: $4.99/mo for 500 points
• Pro: $19.99/mo for 2,500 points (~250 Opus calls)
• Ultra: $99.99/mo for 7,500 points
Honest "not done yet":
• Text only (no image/audio generation yet)
• No batch API
• Single-region deploy
• 1-person team, support is a Telegram group not a helpdesk
