TensorCortex vs OpenRouter

Zero Markup vs 5% Markup

OpenRouter charges a 5% markup on every API request. TensorCortex charges $0 markup — you only pay for what you use with your providers, plus a simple monthly subscription.

The Bottom Line

With OpenRouter, a $1,000/month API spend costs you an extra $50 in markup fees. With TensorCortex, you pay $29/month flat — no matter how much you spend on APIs. Plus, our response caching can reduce your overall costs by up to 60%.

Why Developers Switch from OpenRouter

Zero Markup Fees

Stop paying 5% on every request. Our flat monthly pricing means predictable costs that don't scale with your usage.

Response Caching

OpenRouter doesn't cache responses. TensorCortex automatically caches identical requests, saving you up to 60% on API costs.

Same API Experience

OpenAI-compatible API format means you can switch by just changing your base URL. No code rewrite needed.
