CutYourLLMCostswith policy routing
The LLM routing gateway for policy-based cost controls. RouteShift applies your routing rules, caching, and fallback policies to control spend without changing your OpenAI-compatible client. Savings-share pricing keeps our incentives aligned with yours.
Supported provider compatibility
Why RouteShift
Pick how inference is funded
BYOK keeps provider billing on your own accounts with 0% provider-spend markup. Credits mode uses RouteShift-managed credentials and a separate, explicitly disclosed usage markup.
BYOK mode
Your provider accounts
Missing team credentials fail closed; BYOK never falls back to a RouteShift-funded key.
Credits mode
RouteShift-managed provider keys
Credits mode requires an active paid plan and never reads your team provider keys.

We don't need the broadest possible model catalog. We use a curated registry of supported models across leading providers to find the optimal cost-quality tradeoff for every request.

Everything you need to optimize LLM spend
Drop-in proxy that sits between your code and LLM providers. No SDK changes, no vendor lock-in.
Smart Routing
Route requests to the optimal provider based on cost, latency, and model capability. Automatically pick the best path.
Response Caching
Automatically cache deterministic LLM responses. Identical requests return quickly without another upstream provider call.
Fallback Chains
Automatic failover between providers when primary is down or rate-limited. Your requests always land.
Multi-Provider
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and other configured providers through one OpenAI-compatible API.
Team Management
Invite teammates, assign roles, and control access. Owner, admin, and member roles keep your API keys and routing rules secure.
Deep Analytics
Cost trends by model and provider, latency percentiles, cache hit rates, and error analysis in one dashboard.
Activity Feed
Review request flow through the proxy. Filter by provider, model, or status. Expand any request for full details.
Zero-Config Setup
Change one URL, keep your existing code. Works with any OpenAI-compatible SDK. Up and running in under two minutes.
Dual Billing Modes
Choose between subscription (BYOK) with your own provider keys, or prepaid credits with our keys. Switch anytime.
Credit System
Purchase credits via Stripe, set auto-top-up thresholds, and track every transaction. Full spending control with overdraft protection.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does RouteShift reduce LLM costs?
RouteShift sits between your application and LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). It intelligently routes each request to the cheapest model that meets your quality requirements, caches deterministic responses to eliminate redundant API calls, and provides fallback chains so your requests always land. Most teams see 10-40% cost reduction depending on workload.
Do I need to change my code?
No. RouteShift is a drop-in proxy. You change a single base URL in your existing OpenAI-compatible SDK configuration — that's it. Your request/response format stays exactly the same. Setup takes under two minutes.
What models and providers are supported?
RouteShift supports a curated model registry across leading providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and configured regional providers. The registry changes as provider catalogs change, so the dashboard models page is the source of truth.
How does the savings-share pricing work?
In BYOK mode there is no monthly platform fee or provider-spend markup. Active paid plans charge 3% of the savings RouteShift measurably generates, billed only when routing reduces your token bill. If we do not save you money in a period, the savings share is zero. Credits mode is separate: RouteShift supplies the provider credentials and charges provider cost plus the plan's credits markup.
Is my data secure?
Yes. RouteShift proxies requests in real time — we don't store your prompts or completions. API keys are encrypted at rest, team access is controlled via role-based permissions (owner, admin, member), and rate limiting protects against abuse. All traffic is encrypted in transit via TLS.
How is RouteShift different from OpenRouter?
OpenRouter focuses on broad model access. RouteShift focuses on policy-based cost optimization, response caching, fallback chains, and savings analytics. RouteShift pricing is tied to measured savings rather than unqualified traffic volume.
