Why RouteShift
Pay for savings, not traffic
Most LLM proxies charge a percentage of your total API traffic. RouteShift charges a low flat rate plus a share of what we save you — so our variable fee is tied to your savings, not your spend.
Typical LLM Proxy
Pay on all traffic
Fee applies to all traffic — even when no optimization occurs.
RouteShift
3% of measured savings — no platform fee
No charges if our routing doesn't reduce your bill.

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 11 curated models across 3 leading providers: OpenAI (GPT-5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 Mini, GPT-4.1 Nano, o3, o4-mini), Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Haiku 4.5), and Google (Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash). We focus on quality over quantity — every model is optimized for cost-quality tradeoffs.
How does the savings-share pricing work?
You pay a low flat monthly fee plus a small percentage of the money we save you. If RouteShift doesn't reduce your costs on a given request, you pay zero savings share — just the flat rate. This means our revenue is tied to your savings, not your total spend. We only make more when you save more.
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 charges 5.5% on all API traffic regardless of optimization. RouteShift charges a flat rate plus a share of actual savings. If no optimization occurs, you pay zero savings share. OpenRouter excels at model breadth (300+ models); RouteShift excels at cost optimization with 11 curated models, built-in response caching, and deep savings analytics.
