About this guide

Router Desk (https://openrouter.uwarp.design) explains OpenRouter: what credits cost, which slugs are free, how the API base URL differs between clients, and what a sample of model cards charged on 27 September 2026.

We are not OpenRouter. We do not sell credits, host Chub or Janitor, or hold API keys. Sign in only at openrouter.ai. Names such as OpenRouter, Claude, DeepSeek, and Qwen belong to their owners.

Token rates were read from openrouter.ai and its models API on 27 September 2026. A provider row can move the same day. The model page is the figure to use before a large job.
