# Welcome to Router

Every AI model for text, image and video. One place. One balance. Up to 30% below direct prices.

## Every AI model. One place. Less than you pay anywhere else.

The best AI is scattered. Claude lives at Anthropic, GPT at OpenAI, Gemini and Veo at Google, Seedance at ByteDance. Each one means another account, another subscription, another bill and full price.

**Router brings them together.** Text, image and video models from every major lab, in one place, on one balance, for **up to 30% less** than buying from the labs directly.

Router sources inference at scale across providers and passes the savings on. Same models, same outputs, lower bill.

**Cheaper than the other platforms too.** On every model we compare, Router beats the biggest AI platforms on price, by up to 41%. [See the comparison](/get-started/compare.md)

## Why Router

{% columns %}
{% column %}

### One place for everything

Write with Claude, design with GPT Image, animate with Seedance. Switch models in one click without new accounts, keys or subscriptions.

### One balance

Top up once and spend across every model and every mode. 1,000 credits = $1.
{% endcolumn %}

{% column %}

### Pay only for results

You see the exact price before you run anything. Failed requests are refunded automatically, and chat is charged only for the tokens it actually uses.

### Built to be owned

Router's credits live on-chain. The network is being built so the people who use it own a share of it.
