Entitlements and usage
- Allowance
- Model/provider list prices; 5.5% fee on credit purchases
- Benefits
- Unified API, model routing, budgets and spend controls, management API keys.
- Source notes and limits
- Buy credits as needed and requests draw down the balance. The 5.5% platform fee is charged on credit purchases, not monthly or per request. BYOK inference is billed directly by the upstream provider. The first $25,000 of list-price inference each month incurs no OpenRouter fee; excess usage has a 5% fee. This is a platform-fee allowance, not free inference credit.
