Choose OpenLLM if

Individual developers who pay for several AI plans and want every coding agent to use them through one endpoint with automatic fallback.

  • Free tier is generous at 50M non-cached tokens a month
  • Existing config such as ~/.claude is left unmodified
  • Keeps agents running through rate limits with fallback chains

Look elsewhere if: Teams that need a self-hosted, governed gateway or pay-per-token access to many models without accounts (LiteLLM, OpenRouter).

Choose RunInfra if

Developers who use coding agents heavily and want open models at a flat, predictable monthly price.

  • Predictable monthly cost from $10 for agent-heavy coding
  • Drop-in for tools that already speak the OpenAI or Anthropic API
  • Very low per-token prices on small and fast open models

Look elsewhere if: Teams that need the strongest closed models for complex coding work (Claude, ChatGPT Codex).
