How it works

One line of code.
Three providers behind it.

Drop in our endpoint as a base URL replacement. We do the rest — classification, routing, fallbacks, prompt caching, and analytics. No code changes. No vendor lock-in.

01
Swap your base URL
Change one line: base_url → api.routecut.com/v1. Your existing code keeps working. Standard chat-completions API.
02
We classify every request
A 10ms classifier scores complexity 0-10. Simple lookups, short answers, and high-volume classification get fast-pathed to cheap models. Deep reasoning gets premium models.
03
Route to the right model
Cost-optimized for your policy (balanced / cheapest / highest-quality). Automatic fallback if a provider 429s. Prompt caching on supported providers.

We don't make money
unless you do.

Routecut is free until it saves you money. We bill a small percentage of the savings we create — so if your bill doesn't drop, you pay nothing. No upfront cost, no platform fee, no minimums.

$0 to start

No upfront cost and no platform fee. You don't pay a cent until Routecut is actively lowering your bill.

Savings = profit

Every dollar you stop overpaying for AI drops straight to your bottom line — more margin, more runway, more to reinvest.

Fully aligned

We earn only a share of what we save you, so our one job is to keep cutting your bill — every month.

Questions

Honest answers to fair questions.

What if it doesn't save us anything?

Then you pay nothing. We only bill a percentage of realized savings — no savings, no invoice. Your downside is zero.

Will routing to cheaper models hurt quality?

No. A request only goes to a cheaper model when it clears the quality bar for that task — reasoning-heavy work still routes to premium models. Same answer, lower cost.

How hard is it to switch?

One line. Routecut speaks the standard chat-completions API — change your base URL and key and keep your existing code. About ten minutes, no re-architecting. See the docs →

What happens to our data?

Your prompts and responses are processed in memory and never stored — we keep metadata only, and never train on your traffic. See security →

Are we locked in?

No. Point your base URL back to your provider and you're out — there's nothing to rip out.

What does it actually cost?

A percentage of what we save you — 25% of savings, dropping to 15% at higher volume — billed monthly, with no platform fee, no per-seat, and no minimums. See pricing →
