KeepRouter review
A focused AI gateway for basic request, token, cost, cache, and latency analytics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
KeepRouter is a hosted AI model gateway for AI startups, agent builders, developer tools, engineering teams, and prototypes. It provides access to multiple model providers through OpenAI-compatible chat and Anthropic-compatible Messages APIs, with a unified route for model access. The platform also includes multimodal model endpoints, scoped API keys, model allowlists, prepaid billing, and pay-as-you-go billing. It is suited to teams that want centralized model access without operating provider accounts or proxy infrastructure.
Analytics are centered on individual requests rather than broad business reporting. KeepRouter tracks the model, route, status, token counts, cost, cache state, and latency for each request, including token, cost, cache, and latency breakdowns. This gives engineering teams a focused view of model traffic and usage. The multi-provider catalog and routing can also help teams manage access through compatible client interfaces. However, the product is primarily an AI model gateway, so teams looking for general-purpose API analytics or business metrics should choose a broader platform instead.
Pricing follows usage rather than monthly subscription tiers. The listed starting rate is $0.02 per 1M input tokens for Mistral NeMo, with output usage priced separately. A free plan is available, and the platform supports prepaid and pay-as-you-go billing. KeepRouter fits users who need cloud deployment, compatible APIs, model routing, scoped access, and request-level AI usage visibility in one service. It is less suitable for organizations that need extensive integrations, business-focused analytics, or analytics across a wider range of APIs.
