Why Router9
Router9's core idea — one subscription, every leading model, and the freedom to create or build without betting on just one.
Why Router9
The Problem
New models ship every week, and none of them stays the best or the cheapest for long. Betting on one means re-learning a new tool, a new subscription, or a new API every time something better comes out — for creative work as much as for the agents and coding CLIs sitting behind an API key.
The Router9 Approach
Router9 is one subscription that puts every leading model to work for you, instead of locking you into one.
Freedom to Pick Whichever Model Is Right, Right Now
GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and the leading image and video models are all behind the same plan. Switch mid-project, no new subscription, no waiting for access — whichever model is newest, best, or most cost-effective for what you're making is already there.
An Immersive Workbench, Not a Chat Window
Studio keeps every prompt, edit, and version of a project in one place. Generate, refine, and compare side by side without losing your work or starting a new thread every time you switch models.
Explore, Before You Start From Scratch
Studio's Explore wall is real work made by other people using the same models — browse it for inspiration, or as a starting point for your own project.
The Same Freedom, For Your Agents
Everything above works headless too. Router9 exposes an OpenAI-compatible API — point Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, or any OpenAI-compatible agent at it, and swap what your pipeline runs on without touching your code.

Connect the Router9 MCP server and your harness gains ears (speech-to-text), a voice (text-to-speech), eyes (vision), and creativity (image generation and editing) — metered by the same shared credit allowance, available on every tier.
Deep Audit Tracking
Every request is logged with model, tokens, latency, cost, and status. Export CSV for compliance, filter by API key, time range, or status. Retention scales with your plan tier.
Predictable Pricing
No per-token billing, no surprise costs. Each plan tier has a fixed monthly fee, a generous credit quota that resets every billing period, and clear rate limits. A busy period that outruns the quota draws on a prepaid balance you top up yourself, instead of stopping your work.
| Plan | Price | Credits per period | Requests / 4h | Audit Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 10,000 (~$1) | 5 | 7 days |
| Pro | $29/mo | 500,000 (~$50) | 1,000 | 30 days |
| Max | $59/mo | 1,500,000 (~$150) | 1,000 | 400 days |
