 "best_for": "developers running agents or apps on OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible APIs who want requests routed to cheaper models where that is safe, with a receipt per request to check the savings",
 "skip_if": "you need an established vendor with a track record and compliance paperwork, always want one specific model, or cannot send traffic through a third-party gateway",
 "honest_knock": "It is an early beta, and the savings figures on the homepage are the vendor's own; it says live routing statistics are still to be published. The routing fee comes on top of the model price, so if routing rarely picks a cheaper model you pay slightly more than calling the provider directly. Your traffic passes through a third party, which matters for compliance. The hosted uncensored models are aimed at authorised security testing only.",

  "notes": "(read 2026-11-04 on vynaris.com/pricing, US dollars) Vynaris is an API gateway, so what you pay is mostly the price of the models it calls for you. Every routed request is billed at the original provider list price of the model that actually served it, plus a Vynaris fee of 3% on your first $500 of usage in a month and 1% on the rest of that month; a $500 top-up switches to the 1% rate at once for that calendar month. You fund it with prepaid top-ups from $20 by card or stablecoins; credit does not expire, and requests stop when the balance reaches zero, so there are no overages. Instead of top-ups you can take a fixed plan whose payment becomes API credit: S at $20 a month, L at $50 a month and XL at $150 a month, with unused credit rolling over. L and XL also give access to Vynaris' own hosted uncensored models, priced per token from $1 per million input tokens, and allow payment in Monero at a 20% surcharge. The site labels the service an early beta.",
