Pricing note

Free and open source (MIT). Self-hosted, no subscription; free tiers of 90+ providers are reachable through one endpoint. Check the official site for current provider terms and limits.

Checked Aug 7, 2026. Verify the current plan, credits, output limits, and commercial terms before purchasing.

Trade-offs to check

  • Self-hosted: you run the gateway yourself (npm, Docker, desktop app, or Termux) — it is not a managed cloud service.
  • Free provider tiers carry rate limits, quota caps, and terms that change; verify each provider's terms before relying on it.
  • Independent project — not an official product of Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any listed provider.
