About RouterBase
RouterBase is a unified API gateway that gives developers and teams access to 200+ AI models, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral and DeepSeek, through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Instead of maintaining separate keys and billing for each provider, you switch models with one line of configuration. RouterBase adds smart routing, automatic failover across providers, and unified billing, so your application keeps running even when an upstream provider has an outage. A free tier is available with no credit card required.

FastRouter
FastRouter is a unified API gateway that enables AI applications to access many large language, image, and audio models (like GPT-5, Claude 4 Opus, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Grok 4, etc.) through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It features automatic routing, which dynamically picks the optimal model per request based on factors like cost, latency, and output quality. It supports massive scale (no imposed QPS limits) and ensures high availability via instant failover across model providers. FastRouter also includes cost control and governance tools to set budgets, rate limits, and model permissions per API key or project, and it delivers real-time analytics on token usage, request counts, and spending trends. The integration process is minimal; you simply swap your OpenAI base URL to FastRouter’s endpoint and configure preferences in the dashboard; the routing, optimization, and failover functions then run transparently.
