OmniRoute
by cheaper-inference
OmniRoute is an AI gateway that gives you one endpoint for hundreds of AI providers and over a thousand models, including many with free tiers. It switches providers automatically when a quota runs out, so coding tools and apps keep working.

What you can do with it
- Point Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Cline at one endpoint and use many providers' models through it
- Connect free-tier accounts and let the gateway fall back automatically when one hits its limit
- Compress prompts to cut token use and track quota usage on a dashboard
Make money with it
A freelancer could use the free tiers to keep AI coding costs near zero while delivering client development work at the usual rates.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Cut AI coding and chat costs by routing work to free or cheaper models first
- Give a small team a single shared AI endpoint so tools keep working when one provider's quota runs out
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
It installs through npm or Docker, and you then add your own provider accounts through the dashboard.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- You must sign up with each provider yourself, and each provider sets its own limits and terms
- Free-tier token figures are estimates and change as providers alter their offers
- Pooling many free accounts may breach some providers' terms of service
- Very large and fast-moving project, so features and provider support may change often
