The service offers 1 million free tokens without a credit card, and paid plans start at $0.02 per 1 million tokens.", "body_md": "# Every model.\n\nOne endpoint.\n\nRoute across OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek and more behind a single API. Model groups, fallback routing, and usage billing - built in.\n\nNo credit card · First 1M tokens free\n\n## Six primitives. One gateway.\n\nEach works on its own. Together they replace the model-routing layer for every app you ship.\n\n### Model Groups\n\nPackage backends, models and routing policy behind one stable name your app calls directly.\n\n### Routing\n\nSingle-backend, weighted load-balancing, fallback, or conditional routing by request metadata.\n\n### Multiple Providers\n\nOpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenRouter and any custom OpenAI-compatible service.\n\n### Coding Plans\n\nRun coding-plan backends beside credit-based keys, with quota and balance visibility.\n\n### Thinking Output\n\nOne reasoning request format; read standardized reasoning text across every model.\n\n### Usage & Billing\n\nTrack spend and tokens per group, key and customer tier in a single console.\n\n## Failover before your users notice.\n\nDefine a policy once. The gateway evaluates weights, retries, and fallbacks on every request — and hands back a standardized response no matter which backend answered.\n\n## Pay for credits, not seats.\n\nAll plans draw credit at the same $0.02 / 1M-token rate.\n\n[Compare all plans](/pricing/)\n\n$1 in credit to start · 1 active key · $0.02 / 1M tok\n\n$20 credit included monthly · 10 active keys · $0.02 / 1M tok\n\n## Start shipping.\n\nOne endpoint for every model. Free for the first 1M tokens — no credit card required.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-modelplane-one-openai-compatible-gateway-for-ai-models", "canonical_source": "https://modelplane.dev/", "published_at": "2026-08-05 08:37:28+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-05 09:23:04.411839+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["ModelPlane", "OpenAI", "Anthropic", "DeepSeek", "OpenRouter"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-modelplane-one-openai-compatible-gateway-for-ai-models", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-modelplane-one-openai-compatible-gateway-for-ai-models.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-modelplane-one-openai-compatible-gateway-for-ai-models.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-modelplane-one-openai-compatible-gateway-for-ai-models.jsonld"}}
