OpenRouter plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

| Pay-as-you-go | On request | 4 | Entry tier |
Before you pay for OpenRouter
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare OpenRouter against the tools that do have one before committing.
OpenRouter runs on api, web. The full record is on the OpenRouter review.
OpenRouter pricing questions
- How much does OpenRouter cost?
- OpenRouter publishes a single tier, Pay-as-you-go, at On request.
- Does OpenRouter have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: OpenRouter is listed as usage-based. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What am I actually paying for with OpenRouter?
- The record we hold does not itemise what each tier includes beyond the plan names and prices. The OpenRouter review carries whatever feature detail is available.
- Does OpenRouter charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 1 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these OpenRouter prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare OpenRouter against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to OpenRouter to make a useful price comparison.
