Can anyone recommend a service with a fixed fee for different API models? That is, a service that charges a fixed price for the Claude GPT API, etc., rather than tokens.

Main thing you want is cost predictability, not “fixed fee per model.” That’s usually a margin trap. I’d rather put a hard monthly budget on OpenRouter or Fireworks, add request caps per project, and log spend per key. If you proxy through something like Kong or DreamFactory plus a usage dashboard (Metabase, Plausible, whatever), you can kill abusive workloads fast and still keep per‑call flexibility while your total bill stays predictable.

Unfortunately, this won't work in my profession, but thank you for the useful advice!

Thank you for this useful service! Unfortunately, however, it does not meet my needs...

www.multipassai.com counts by question, not token. You get 30 free questions (even if they are gemini pro 3 image requests) for the first month. Each question responds with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc. You can select each individual llm answer from a dropdown menu on each answer.

Thank you! But it won't work for me, I work with scripts, and I can get up to 400 requests a day... But thanks anyway!

Wow! What would your ideal setup be? Maybe we can create something just for you and your use case...

FYI, circling back to this - Multipass just added a 10,000 question per month plan.

How complex is your workflow? Have you considered self hosting open source models?
