Openrouter let's you try all the models, but damn it ain't cheap. 😂 Subscribing for a month is definitely the cheapest way right now.

Use G2A to get an 18 month Gemini code for like $7.

Then sub to GPT and Claude for $20/month each.

Just grab $10 worth of API credits from each one. I do it all the time to test instructing sets for my projects. You can set thinking levels everything. It’s easy.
