ONE API. 250+ MODELS. NO MARKUP.

MixRoute is an AI API gateway, often called an LLM gateway. You get one OpenAI-compatible API key that reaches 250+ models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Moonshot AI and more, and you move between them by changing the model name in your request.

Behind that single endpoint, MixRoute bills at each provider’s official price with 0% markup, sends your traffic through reserved capacity instead of the public queue, and fails over automatically when a provider has trouble. It is built and operated by ELITE CLOUD PTE. LTD., a cloud service provider and official partner of AWS, GCP and Azure.

You can, and you would pay the same per-token price. The difference is everything around the tokens. Going direct means a separate account, key, invoice and dashboard for every provider, and your requests wait in the same public queue as everyone else’s.

MixRoute adds five things the official APIs don’t: one key for every provider, reserved capacity that sidesteps public rate limits, automatic failover when a provider goes down, cross-timezone scheduling that keeps that capacity working around the clock, and one bill instead of three to five separate accounts.

The same way cloud resellers have worked for decades. ELITE CLOUD is an authorized reseller for AWS, GCP and Azure with volume agreements, so MixRoute earns through provider partnerships and enterprise contracts rather than a fee on your tokens.

Model prices come straight from each provider’s published pricing page and are passed through 1:1. You can check any price on the models page against the provider’s own site, and every request is auditable line by line in your usage records.

Aggregation platforms typically add a 5–10% fee and route requests through the public queue; OpenRouter, for example, charges a 5.5% platform fee when you buy credits. MixRoute adds nothing to the official price, so your whole budget goes to tokens.

The bigger difference is infrastructure. MixRoute holds reserved capacity, schedules it across time zones, and fails over in milliseconds when a provider goes down, which is reliability a pure routing layer can’t offer. The API stays OpenAI-compatible, so moving over doesn’t mean rewriting your integration.

For most teams it’s two lines. Point your base URL at https://api.mixroute.ai/v1, swap in your MixRoute API key, and keep the SDK and request format you already use. Most teams are done in under five minutes.

After that, trying a different model is a one-parameter change: move a feature from GPT to Claude or DeepSeek by editing the model name, with no new account or integration. The quickstart walks through it step by step.

No. Prompts and responses pass through memory only: they come in, get routed, the answer goes back, and nothing is written, logged or used to train any model, ours included. MixRoute keeps only the metadata needed for billing and your usage dashboard: token counts, model, latency and cost.

If you need to control where traffic goes, Compliance Mode locks requests to whitelisted US and Singapore endpoints, and you can verify it at any time. The full details are in the data security FAQ and the Privacy Policy.

Reserved capacity is dedicated throughput (Provisioned Throughput) that MixRoute buys from cloud providers. Your requests run through that reserved pool instead of the shared public queue every other user competes for, which means noticeably lower latency and near-zero 429 rate-limit errors, even at peak hours.

A global scheduling system shares the pool across time zones, so the capacity is always in use and nothing goes to waste. Teams with monthly usage of at least US$20,000 or a single top-up of at least US$30,000 can also discuss dedicated Reserve Capacity as part of an enterprise plan.

MixRoute fails over for you. Traffic runs across multiple nodes, and when a provider has an outage the gateway switches in milliseconds, so your product keeps answering instead of passing errors on to your users.

You don’t have to build and maintain that fallback logic yourself, and you don’t need a second provider account on standby. A live status page is open to everyone, so you can see platform health at any time.

Smart Routing is completely free and optional. Create a Smart Routing API key in the console and use it in place of your current key; the request format stays the same. MixRoute’s in-house routing model reads each request in memory, judges its complexity and task type, and sends it to the best-fit model in the pool you authorize, so “When do you close?” isn’t billed at flagship rates. Across 10,000+ real-world runs the average saving was 20–40%.

MixRoute is pay as you go, and you don’t need a credit card to sign up. Self-serve top-ups accept Visa, Mastercard and JCB, plus USDT and USDC. Credits never expire, and larger top-ups earn bonus credit, from 2% on Growth up to 5% on Scale.

Business plans are prepaid and accept card, crypto, or bank wire transfer. Monthly usage of US$20,000 or more, or a single top-up of US$30,000 or more, qualifies for an enterprise plan: payment is mainly by bank wire transfer with an invoice and flexible payment terms, plus a custom contract and per-model pricing, with up to 25% off select models.
