OpenAI tokens at outlet prices.
GPT-5.5, GPT-5, and GPT-5 Codex — billed at 20% of OpenAI list. Same SDK. One line change. Pay-as-you-go credits.
How it works
One endpoint. Every GPT, billed in outlet pricing.
Point the OpenAI SDK at api.corouter.co/v1 and route any GPT model by name. Claude and Gemini land next.
Same SDK. Drop-in replace OPENAI_BASE_URL.
Pre-paid credits. $5 minimum. Live balance, transparent logs.
Cache passes through. OpenAI 90%-off cached input honored 1:1.
Why corouter
Three reasons to swap your base URL.
Features
Built for the bill, not the brochure.
OpenAI-API-compatible, drop-in.
Point the OpenAI SDK at api.corouter.co/v1 and you're done. Streaming, tool calls, vision, JSON mode — every surface passes through unchanged.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.corouter.co/v1", # one line
api_key="cr-...",
)
# the rest of your codebase doesn't change
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="openai/gpt-5.5",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "ship it"}],
)Your bill, but smaller.
GPT-5.5 at 20% of list. Same model ID, same JSON, 5× cheaper output.
GPT today. Claude and Gemini next.
We ship one vendor at a time, properly. Anthropic and Google land this summer at the same outlet pricing posture.
Three GPT flagships live now.
GPT-5.5, GPT-5, and GPT-5 Codex. Each row shows OpenAI list with a line through it, and what you actually pay.
Bring a teammate. Both bills halve again.
Founding-developer referral: share a key, tap another 50% off your next $20 of usage. Built for word-of-mouth.
Zero data retention by default.
No prompt logging. Per-key audit log streamed to your S3 on request. Instant credit refund if a request fails to charge.

Quickstart
Three lines from any SDK.
Same OpenAI-compatible payload. Pick a model by slug — region routing happens at the gateway.
import OpenAI from "openai"
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://api.corouter.co/v1",
apiKey: process.env.COROUTER_KEY,
})
// Same SDK, just route by model name.
const overseas = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4.7",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Plan the launch" }],
})
const china = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "deepseek/v4-pro",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Plan the launch" }],
})
