What to check before you move off OpenRouter: multi-model access, BYOK, project budgets, domestic providers, and cost reporting, compared in one place.
OpenRouter is fine if you mainly want many models behind one API. Production teams often hit the next wall: BYOK, project budgets, domestic sources, and someone asking what last month cost by key. Treat NextModel as a cost-control gateway, not a discount clone of a marketplace. You keep multi-model access and OpenAI-compatible calls, and you get spend controls in the same path. Cross-check /best/openai-compatible-gateway, /pricing, and /docs/openai-compatible when you decide whether to move traffic.

FAQ
It can cover multi-model API access. The emphasis is different: cost control, BYOK, budgets, and mixing domestic and global sources under one gateway.
No. Pages describe model sources and catalog data. Partnership claims only appear when they are separately verified.
If the target is OpenAI-compatible, you usually change base_url and the key. Keep the SDK. See /docs/openai-compatible and compare cost on /pricing before cutover.
Spend visibility, cache discounts, domestic coverage, BYOK, budget policy, and whether you can audit a request after the fact. A long model list without controls often costs more.
