AI API gateway pricing
AI API gateways can reduce model access friction, but the cheapest route is not always the safest route. Token Hub compares gateway channels by model, token cost, platform fee signals, uptime, latency, and route health.

Gateway pricing can include more than a model's base token cost. Platform fees, token accounting ratio, cache read/write pricing, latency, refund policy, and uptime all affect whether a route is useful in production.
The gateway leaderboard combines route pricing fields with operational signals so teams can quickly separate cheap-but-risky routes from routes worth retesting.
An AI API gateway is a service that routes API calls to one or more model providers, often with an OpenAI-compatible API, unified keys, or regional payment options.
No. Token cost is only one signal. Uptime, latency, token usage ratio, refund policy, logs privacy, and model coverage can matter more than a small price difference.
Use it to shortlist routes, identify risky signals, and decide which gateway to retest. Verify route behavior and current pricing before adding production traffic.
