Sites like OpenRouter for teams comparing AI API gateways
Sites like OpenRouter serve developers who want one API surface for many models. The right choice depends on how much your team values self-serve discovery, managed support, direct provider control, self-hosting or commercial onboarding. PEKPIK LLM is relevant when you want a managed OpenAI-compatible gateway rather than running the routing layer yourself.
