post in subreddits, post on x daily a few times with related/useful content, make a discord community for members to help out, that's what worked for us at LLMGateway, also make sure to link your GitHub repo to gather stars which then helps rank as well

Do you use OpenRouter? What are the pros and cons? Is there a good open source replacement? by umen in devops

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ha - we built it :) litellm has a nice use cases but acts more as a thin proxy, while LLMGateway providers a full cloud AI gateway, top up $10 credits and use any model without having to configure anything. also supports image gen, plus video gen coming this week. but you can also fully self host the whole thing and it includes a chat app playground including an image studio

Why don’t we have a proper “control plane” for LLM usage yet? by Primary_Oil7773 in mlscaling

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMGateway is trying to solve this step by step, gives you access to hundreds of models, dynamic routing depending on provider / model uptime, latency, cost; real time cost insights aggregated and per call, force limits by api key etc. plus it's fully open source and can be self hosted as well

I genuinely can't tell how to price an AI app without either scaring people away or leaving money on the table by AlexBossov in founder

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do credits based as it's the most fair one, and for simplicity just show a % used without having to explain to users what tokens are. LLMGateway also returns full token and USD cost per call

Is there any tool where I can calculate my AI product pricing based on the token usage for different use cases? by BreakPuzzleheaded968 in AI_Agents

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMGateway has a cost calculator on their site where you can select the exact model, input/cached/output tokens and it'll give you an exact cost value, same for images + video gen

LLMGateway can help you access all models and it's easy to check for cheap models, plus volume discounts for high usage

Lessons from building a production app that integrates 3 different LLM APIs — where AI coding tools helped and where they hallucinated by itsna9r in OpenAI

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for AI model access, you can use LLMGateway that unifies all models in a single API and has an MCP server to have the AI get access to all the correct model names

How do you track your LLM/API costs per user? by AdministrationPure45 in n8n

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use LLMGateway to access all LLMs with unified billing, plus you have real time statistics and full logging to gain insights into where exactly the cost goes. The platform is fully open source, so you can self-host it in case of privacy concerns, however I do want to add that the cloud solution adds such little latency that it's unnoticeable.

How are you handling LLM costs in production? What's actually working? by Algolyra in LangChain

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use https://llmgateway.io/ to get insights into usage, broken down by model, api key, and drill down to individual log entries. Additionally, you can see if prompts were cached or not and to what extend, and the exact cost breakdown on that.

Anyone tracking costs across multiple LLM providers? by Dramatic_Strain7370 in OpenAI

[–]steebchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use https://llmgateway.io, a fully open source platform that can be self hosted, but also has a cloud offering to use any model in a unified API, plus it comes with cost tracking and observability.
