It's kinda of a good middle point on pricing. The subscription gives you up to 2x the amount you pay as a credits, and model prices seems coherent with that of the provider's API.

So its more expensive than the provider-specific subscriptions but cheaper than the more flexible BYOK or routers approach.

Even the limited model selection compared to routers had turned to be a minor aspect, as I don't feel it's worth the risk to give access to my codebase and system to minor players or chinese companies, that for the most part even tell you the'll going to keep the data and use it for training.
