koigrid vs Vercel AI Gateway / OpenRouter
One unified LLM endpoint with BYO keys — the flat-rate alternative to Vercel AI Gateway, OpenRouter and LiteLLM.
Vercel AI Gateway and OpenRouter made it easy to hit many models through one endpoint. koigrid gives you the same unified gateway — route by model name, bring your own encrypted keys, track tokens and cost — at a flat rate and right next to the apps that use it, callable by an agent token.
