Our verdict on Cortecs

Cortecs is an LLM gateway for developers and teams building AI applications across multiple providers. Its OpenAI-compatible API supports chat completions, embeddings, audio, vision, speech, and tool calling, giving teams one access layer for multimodal workloads. The platform is positioned for organizations that need routing policy, provider choice, usage visibility, and spend controls, with an EU-focused approach from Cortecs GmbH in Vienna, Austria.

Pricing follows one Usage-based plan rather than fixed subscription tiers. The plan includes all platform features, with a 5% flat service fee added to upstream provider token rates. Billing is in EUR, with credit card or invoice payment available. This structure suits teams whose usage varies and who want routing and budget features without selecting among feature-gated plans. Teams seeking a predictable fixed subscription should look elsewhere.

Cortecs stands out for combining routing controls with a broad integration surface. Policy-based routing can use latency, cost, or balanced preferences, while automatic fallbacks help direct requests across supported providers. Integrations include the OpenAI SDK, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, Langfuse, n8n, Make.com, coding tools, chat interfaces, and agent frameworks. RBAC, MFA, key management, dedicated budgets, and request-cost tracking support team operations. Its EU data residency and GDPR compliance emphasis may suit European workloads. Choose Cortecs when multimodal access, provider flexibility, and spend governance matter together; choose an alternative if your needs center on a single provider or fixed-plan pricing.
