How much does unmanaged AI cost your org?

Five ways ModelRouter reduces spend, risk, and engineering time.

Savings #1
30%
Edge Caching
30% of requests served from Fastly KV Store cache. Identical prompts return instantly with zero LLM spend.
Savings #2
40%
Included-Tier Routing
40% of requests routed to provider-included models -- Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek -- without sacrificing quality for simple tasks.
Savings #3
$0
Injection Blocking
Attack requests blocked at the edge before consuming any tokens. You pay nothing for malicious traffic.
Savings #4
$8-16K
Build vs Buy
Building your own AI gateway = 2-4 engineering weeks. ModelRouter replaces that with a single API endpoint and edge-native infrastructure.
Savings #5
40+ hrs
Compliance
SOC 2 audit prep without tooling = 40+ hours per cycle. ModelRouter provides access control, audit logging, and DLP out of the box.
Enterprise Scenario

100-person engineering org, 500 AI requests/day

A realistic scenario for a mid-size engineering team using AI for code review, documentation, and debugging.

Monthly request volume ~15,000 requests
Without ModelRouter: all GPT-4o ~$450/month
Security & audit coverage None
With ModelRouter: 30% cached + 40% included-tier ~$95/month LLM cost
ModelRouter Pro plan $49/month
Total with ModelRouter ~$144/month
Monthly savings ~$306/month
Annual savings ~$3,672 + security + compliance

Assumes average 500 input tokens and 200 output tokens per request. GPT-4o pricing at $2.50/$10 per 1M tokens. Included-tier models include Groq Llama 3.3, Mistral, and DeepSeek. Cache hit rate based on observed repetition patterns in engineering workflows.

Drag the slider to see estimated monthly costs based on your request volume. Assumes average prompt of 500 input tokens and 200 output tokens, with 40% routed to included-tier models (Ollama + Groq + Mistral), 20% to low-cost providers (Together AI + DeepSeek), 30% to GPT-4o-mini, and 10% to premium models (GPT-4o/Claude/GPT-5.4). BYOK: you pay providers directly.

ModelRouter Price
$20.44
vs OpenRouter (5.5% fee): On the same volume, OpenRouter would charge $0.68 in routing fees on top of LLM costs. ModelRouter's flat pricing becomes cheaper at scale because you benefit from edge caching (estimated 30% cache hit rate) which eliminates LLM costs entirely for cached requests.

Cost assumptions: Fastly Compute at $0.05/GB bandwidth + $0.50/million requests (50% volume discount). KV Store at $0.01/10K reads + $0.05/10K writes. Ollama/Groq/Mistral included tiers: $0. Together AI/DeepSeek: ~$0.50/1M avg. GPT-4o-mini: $0.15/$0.60 per 1M tokens. Premium avg (GPT-4o/Claude Sonnet/GPT-5.4): $3.50/$15 per 1M tokens. BYOK: you pay providers directly, ModelRouter price includes 50% markup on infrastructure cost only.
