I'll start with the positives: 1. Payment is made with tokens, not by rates or limits. The prices are very similar to OpenRouter and are among the lowest, especially for payments from Russia. 2. A wide selection of models. They have everything: from Chinese GLM/Kimi to Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT. In fact, there are a lot of models, including smaller ones, and there are also models for generating photos and videos. 3. Convenient API. Since it is compatible with OpenAI, it can be integrated into any extension or program that supports setting a baseUrl for the provider. Plus, everything works without ***, although I have *** on 99% of the time, but that's not critical, it’s not a downside. I decided to use this service because Claude blocked two of my accounts due to payment with a foreign card, resulting in a loss of over 3,000 rubles. ChatGPT accounts with a monthly subscription last only a week or two before being blocked. That's the reality. After two days of use, I can say that in the end, my monthly expenses will be about the same as a subscription for $20–25 when paying from Russia. I'm not a programmer, but I use it quite often, and it all depends on which model you choose (probably a third of all my requests are Opus 4.6/Gemini 3.1 Pro for architectural planning and Sonnet 4.6/GLM 5 for coding and code review). The dashboard is convenient: you can immediately see the balance, how much has been spent, the approximate cost of one request, and the average number of requests per day. Overall, everything is convenient.
