Starting October 1st, every customer gets 1,000,000 “Bring Your Own Key” (BYOK) requests per month for free. The change is automatic for all existing BYOK users. For customers exceeding 1m req/month, requests will be charged at the usual rate of 5%.
Not familiar with BYOK?
BYOK allows you to make requests through OpenRouter that use your provider API keys, so that you are billed by the underlying provider instead of by OpenRouter. When setting up BYOK, you can decided whether to fail over to OpenRouter if you run out of capacity on your keys, or whether to strictly use only your API keys. OpenRouter supports BYOK for over 60 different inference providers.
Startups and enterprises can apply their existing provider credits, negotiated inference rates, or provisioned throughput while benefiting from OpenRouter’s failover protection, additional capacity, spend controls, and access to more model options.
