Chub AI
OpenRouter’s app page is a listing, not the app. Chub runs on its own site. OpenRouter is one place a Chub user can buy model calls.
Updated 2026-09-27
Chub is a character-chat product. OpenRouter lists it at openrouter.ai/apps/chub-ai and describes the listing as “GenAI for everyone.” When this page was checked on 27 Sep 2026, that listing showed on the order of 122 billion tokens attributed to the app. The chat itself happens on Chub, not here.
How the two accounts fit
- A Chub account is created on Chub’s own site.
- An OpenRouter account is created at openrouter.ai/sign-in.
- The API key from openrouter.ai/settings/keys is what Chub stores if you pick OpenRouter as the model source.
- Each message then bills the OpenRouter slug you selected, plus whatever Chub charges on its own plan.
People search “chub ai app” because there is a mobile client as well as the website. Install it from Chub’s own download page or the store listing Chub names. A random APK result is not this guide’s recommendation.
What you pay
OpenRouter credits are dollars. Buying them on a card costs 5.5 percent, with an $0.80 minimum. The model price comes off the balance after that. A free slug such as openrouter/free can be used only if Chub lets you type the model id, and only while your OpenRouter balance is not negative. Chub’s subscription, if you have one, is a separate charge on Chub’s checkout.
Content
Chub hosts user-made characters, and a large share of that catalog is adult fiction. This guide does not include sexual text, character prompts, or ways around a model’s refusals. Use Chub’s own rating filters. Router Desk does not store your chats.
Never paste an OpenRouter key into a page that is not Chub or openrouter.ai. A key spends the credits on the account.
Questions
What is Chub AI?
A third-party character chat app. OpenRouter lists it and can supply the model. The app account lives on Chub.
Is Chub the same as OpenRouter?
No. OpenRouter sells model calls. Chub is one of the apps that can send those calls.
Where do I log in?
Chub login is on Chub’s site. OpenRouter login is at https://openrouter.ai/sign-in. This site has neither.

- Janitor AI and OpenRouter
Janitor AI can use OpenRouter as an OpenAI-compatible API. The base URL is https://openrouter.ai/api/v1. That is the proxy. It is not a VPN.
- AI for roleplay
Roleplay on OpenRouter is a model choice: context length, price, and whether the card is written for fiction. Longer chats need a bigger window.
- OpenRouter login
OpenRouter login is only on openrouter.ai/sign-in. API keys are created after that, at settings/keys. This site cannot sign you in.
- OpenRouter free models
openrouter/free routes to a $0 model at random. On 27 Sep 2026 the catalog also listed 17 slugs ending in :free, with rate limits.
