OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible API gateway that routes your requests directly to upstream providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Together, Groq, and more — at provider cost price. You pay what the provider charges. We don’t add per-token markup.

​
Why OrcaRouter

Zero markup, ever

You pay the provider’s published price per token. OrcaRouter’s revenue comes from optional paid subscription plans, not from inflating your token cost.

OpenAI-compatible

Point your existing OpenAI SDK at api.orcarouter.ai/v1 and keep your code. Streaming, tools, JSON mode, vision, reasoning — all pass through.

200+ models

One API across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek, Together, Groq, Cohere, and dozens of others.

Smart routing

Named routers, automatic fallback chains, and orcarouter/auto that picks the cheapest live model per request.
