Questions, answered

What is the RouteLLM API?

RouteLLM API is a multi-LLM API and router and is offered as part of the ChatLLM subscription that costs $10 a month.

RouteLLM will route to the best LLM by default, based on your prompt. You can also provide an LLM name as one of the parameters and invoke that specific LLM in the API.

You can access ANY LLM model using this unified API. Benefits include great prices, automatic failover, and very high uptime.

How does it work?

Sign up as a ChatLLM subscriber and click on the RouteLLM API icon in the lower left corner to access API documentation and details.

You can then invoke the API for an LLM and use the LLM in any of your applications. The ChatLLM subscription includes 20K credits, with each API call consuming credits proportional to the cost of the LLM call.

LLMs are typically priced at the best available price on the planet. We will publish the prices for each LLM in our RouteLLM API documentation.

What is the price of each LLM?

Closed-source LLMs are priced based on the prices advertised by the provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc). We DO NOT charge you more than what the provider does.

The prices are updated whenever the provider updates prices. For open-source LLMs, our prices typically match the best available price anywhere in the world. Please note: all of our LLLMs are located in the United States.

How is my data protected?

We don't use your data for training; it's always encrypted, and we have enterprise compliance, including SOC-2 Type-2 and HIPAA.

How can I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel the subscription anytime using the ChatLLM interface. Billing subscription details are available on the desktop interface by clicking on the top right corner and going to the Billing and Invoices page from your profile.
