Suddenly realizing how much cheaper it is to use something like OpenRouter vs a subscription to Claude or ChatGPT. I added $20 to my account over a month ago and so far I’m down to $17.60. Reminds me of PikaPods in that sense; you can just throw $20 at it and not have to worry about topping up for a few months. Works really well with the Apollo app from Liquid AI, too. They have some decent local models and I can switch between that and OpenRouter on the fly. Bonus points to Apollo for collecting zero data 🤙
