Paid

OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway giving one API and one balance for 500+ models, with fallbacks and spend limits per key, teammate and workspace.

Unified OpenAI-Compatible API: Call 500+ models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and others by changing only the base URL, API key and model name in the OpenAI SDK.
Routing Profiles and Fallbacks: Define an ordered list of backup models so requests fail over automatically when a provider errors or returns a 429.
Spend Limits: Set resetting credit limits per API key, monthly limits per teammate and workspace, and a cap on how fast the account can spend.
Activity Log and Usage Analytics: See every request with serving provider, outcome, tokens, cost and latency, export to CSV, and break spend down by model, key and teammate.
Model Catalog with Upstream Pricing: Each model lists context window and per-million-token price, including multiple upstream providers for open-weight models.
Side-by-Side Playground: Run one prompt on up to three models and compare answers and cost before changing code.
Bring Your Own Keys: Use your own provider keys free with no monthly cap alongside Hopscotch credit.

Multi-Provider Apps: Letting an application switch between Claude, GPT and Gemini without maintaining separate SDKs, accounts or bills.
Resilient Production Traffic: Automatically falling back to another model when a primary provider is rate-limited or down.
Team Budget Governance: Giving each developer or environment its own key with a spend ceiling so costs cannot run away.
Model Evaluation: Comparing output quality and cost of several models on real prompts in the playground before switching.
Cost Auditing: Exporting per-request logs to attribute LLM spend by model, provider, key and teammate.
