One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.
Give your AI agents live business data they can trust
Hook up GA4, Google Ads, HubSpot, Stripe, Search Console, and warehouses or databases via OAuth or a key — read-only, with nothing to self-host.
Tell Sequel once what a qualified lead, active account, or blended CAC means for your team, and every agent applies the same definition every time.
Sequel returns the query it ran with each result, so you can verify a figure instead of trusting it blindly.
Runs over MCP, so one connection serves Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients without reconnecting sources.

Aggregates hundreds of foundation models and agentic tools under one endpoint, but lacks OpenRouter's community popularity and extensive prompt tuning.
Delivers advanced enterprise observability, guardrails, and caching, but focuses more on governance than simple model aggregation.
