One OpenAI-compatible gateway for adaptive LLM routing, guardrails, and spend control
Each prompt is graded and routed to the model that clears your quality bar, with configurable fallback chains that retry before a response starts.
Pay provider prices with $0 per-token added on pay-as-you-go and subscriptions, or bring your own provider keys and credits.
PII shielding, jailbreak and injection blocking, and per-call approval for tool and MCP actions run before you are billed.
Request logs, per-prompt receipts, routing and spend dashboards, and copy-as-cURL make every call auditable and attributable.
The data, evaluations and systems behind AI that has to be right.
Human-sourced and expert-annotated training data, including specialist contributors with advanced degrees, at the quality bar frontier labs require.
Public leaderboards plus private benchmarks that test model capability and safety for the most ambitious AI developers.
Platform and services teams that pick the right use case, build the system and take ownership of the outcome.
Agentic systems designed around measurable business outcomes across private equity portfolios, energy and healthcare operations.
Provides access to a massive catalog of frontier models with flexible routing, but lacks OrcaRouter's dedicated enterprise governance.
#1SpecialistStreamlines computer vision dataset annotation and model training, but is less suited for general LLM text tasks.

Focuses heavily on enterprise data labeling and training data curation, similar to Scale's core annotation business.

One OpenAI-compatible API key for 500+ AI models

Free / Open-sourceOffers an open-source proxy and SDK for unifying 100+ LLMs with failover, requiring self-hosting rather than a managed service.


Routes requests across frontier models with automatic failover and analytics, serving as a straightforward alternative API proxy.

Provides enterprise multimodal annotation and data management tools, but with less emphasis on managed labeling workforces.

SpecialistTrack, evaluate, and ship AI models and agents in one connected environment.


SpecialistFocuses on post-deployment LLM observability and evaluation rather than training data generation or annotation.
Specializes in data infrastructure and annotation specifically tailored for computer vision and physical AI workloads.
Gives developers a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint for multiple LLMs with failover, but offers fewer advanced routing rules.
Delivers enterprise-grade LLM gateway features with advanced caching and observability, though at a higher operational complexity.
