Why choose LLMFly as your OpenRouter alternative?

Start with a concrete budget. The comparison above uses the same model and usage to show your original cost, LLMFly cost and savings. LLMFly unit rates include the group multiplier.

Visible rates: find input, output and available cache prices in the model catalog.
One catalog: explore GPT, Claude, Gemini and their integration groups.
Easy integration: keep a supported client and configure the endpoint, API key and model ID using the guide.
Support for reliable use: one-to-one assistance covers setup, request issues and client errors.
An enterprise-grade experience: separate keys by app and environment, with usage records for team cost reviews.

How do I switch from OpenRouter to LLMFly?

Choose a model: check the model and supported client group in Model Plaza.
Get your key: sign in to the LLMFly console and create an API key.
Configure your client: follow the quickstart for the endpoint, key and model ID.
Start using it: send a request and check its actual cost in usage records.

What changes in my current client?

Copy the target platform's model ID instead of assuming provider/model aliases transfer unchanged. Audit OpenRouter-specific routing fields and headers, then test the standard request fields on the selected LLMFly AI route.

Codex / Claude Code groups require their supported clients. Choose the group for your general API or dedicated-client workflow; support can help you identify it.

Turn the estimate into savings on your own requests

Run a small set of your existing requests on LLMFly and check responses, tool calls and billed usage. Increase usage once it meets your needs. Keep cloud resources, identity and private networking separate while migrating the model calls your application supports.
