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.
Built for teams routing production LLM traffic across leading providers
Why RouteShift
Pay for savings, not traffic
Most LLM proxies charge a percentage of your total API traffic. RouteShift charges no monthly platform fee — only a small share of measured savings, 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.

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 instantly at zero cost — no upstream call needed.
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?
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 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.
