Go direct
Best when one provider is enough.
You own every contract, key and data policy. Simple at first; duplicated as the model mix grows.
One provider · one region
Global model access.
Chinese-model depth.
Run OpenAI, Anthropic and Google alongside DeepSeek, Z.ai, Qwen and Kimi through one compatible API. Global coverage by default; deeper operational support for Chinese models.
50+ models · 99.9% availability target · Public per-model status
Global breadth matters. So does depth in each ecosystem.
A compatible API is the baseline. Production quality depends on how pricing, availability and provider changes are handled across very different model ecosystems.
General model gateway
Broad coverage; verify depth model by model.
A long catalogue can simplify access. Before production, check how pricing, availability and provider changes are handled for the models you need.
One API · verify model by model
RouteAPI
Global coverage, with Chinese-model depth.
Leading global providers share one compatible interface. For Chinese models, RouteAPI adds deeper operational support across pricing, availability and provider changes.
Global coverage · Chinese-model depth
Facts you can verify.
A small set of public facts, each tied to the product, measured status or SLA terms.
Know the fit before you migrate.
Different deployment and compliance needs require different paths. We state those limits before you start.
You are deploying inside mainland China
Continue to RouteAPI’s mainland site for the service information and terms that apply to mainland deployment.
You require completed SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence today
Both assurance programs are in progress; neither a SOC 2 report nor an ISO 27001 certificate has been issued yet.
Your procurement policy requires a long operating history
RouteAPI was founded in 2024. If your vendor policy requires several years of operating history or published scale figures, we may not qualify yet.
You only call one model from one provider
Going direct is simpler. Come back when you need failover or a price option.
You need on-premise or air-gapped deployment
We are a hosted gateway. No configuration on our side changes that.
Keep the freedom to choose again.
RouteAPI keeps the interface familiar across providers, makes pricing and availability visible, and avoids proprietary abstractions that make switching harder. Choose what fits today without making tomorrow’s change expensive.
