Pricing

We never take a cut of your token spend.
Pay for features.

Our revenue comes from optional team features.

Zero markup guarantee
You pay providers directly at their published rates. We add nothing on top of token costs. Routing is free; the optional Team plan funds the platform.

The rate you pay is the provider's rate.

How billing works

You are billed per token at the upstream provider's published rate — the same number on OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google's own pricing page. Cached reads bill at the provider's discounted cache rate. There is no OrcaRouter token markup on any tier.

Why zero markup

Most AI gateways add 5–20% on every token. OrcaRouter does not: token usage is pass-through, and the product is funded by the optional Team and Enterprise subscriptions, not by a margin on your spend.

What you are paying for

The free Hacker tier is the full gateway — 200+ models, one OpenAI-compatible API, and automatic failover. Team and Enterprise add seats, compliance enforcement and reporting, higher rate limits, SLAs, and priority or dedicated support.

Security & compliance

Every plan runs behind the same guardrails and agent firewall. Team adds compliance enforcement and audit reporting; Enterprise adds unlimited seats, priority access to new models, every hidden and beta capability, data-residency controls, and a 99.99% uptime SLA.

Frequently asked questions

How can OrcaRouter charge $0 markup and stay in business?
OrcaRouter monetizes via subscription tiers (Hacker free, Team $49/mo, Enterprise custom) for team seats, compliance and enterprise SLAs. Per-token usage is billed at the upstream provider rate with no margin added.
What is included in the free Hacker tier?
Hacker includes the full 200+ model catalog, OpenAI-compatible API, automatic failover, basic observability and a single-user workspace. Upgrade to Team for up to 10 seats, compliance enforcement & reports, unlimited API keys, and priority support.
Do you offer a free trial of the Team plan?
Yes. New workspaces get 14 days of Team free; cancel any time. No card is required to start on the Hacker tier.
How do Enterprise contracts differ from Team?
Enterprise adds unlimited team seats, priority access to new models, every hidden and beta capability, dedicated infrastructure, a 99.99% uptime SLA, dedicated support, and custom pricing. Pricing is volume-based; contact sales from the Pricing page.
Are there per-request fees on top of provider cost?
No per-request fee on Hacker or Team. Enterprise plans may include a flat per-million-token routing fee depending on volume tier.
