RouteShift
An LLM proxy gateway that turns every request into a routing decision — pick the best model, fail over to the cheapest, and bill back the savings.

- Point OpenAI-compatible clients at https://api.routeshift.io/v1.
- Use deployed chat completions, embeddings, models, and model-detail routes.
- Review routing behavior, token use, cost, and activity in one place.
Get started
Sign up, mint your first key, and proxy your first request.
Marketing site
Pricing, providers, and the savings-share model.
How a request flows
RouteShift exposes an OpenAI-compatible client surface at
https://api.routeshift.io/v1. The deployed public routes cover chat
completions, embeddings, models, and model detail.
Send a request
Use an OpenAI-compatible client against the public base URL.
Authenticate
RouteShift applies the virtual key and its configured limits.
Route
Rules select an available model or configured fallback path.
Return and observe
The response returns while token, cost, and activity data are recorded.
What RouteShift covers
- Virtual API keys —
sk-proxy-keys with per-key allowed models, RPM/TPM limits, monthly budgets, expiry, metadata tags, rotation with grace periods, and a full audit trail. - Routing & fallbacks — rules that pick a target model (or a chain), with model aliases, weighted load balancing across N provider keys, latency-based and least-busy strategies, and automatic 5xx/429 cooldowns.
- Observability — every request is logged with tokens, cost, latency, and an inferred activity category. Sessions are stitched together for one-shot vs. retry-rate analysis and side-by-side model comparison.
- Optimize findings — a static-analysis pass over recent traffic that flags duplicate prompts, oversized system prompts, model-mismatch waste, and other cost leaks.
- Spend & savings — pricing pulled directly from the LiteLLM JSON catalog, monthly per-key budgets with projected-overrun alerts, per-key cost attribution in the billing breakdown, and a 3% savings-share monetization model.
BYOK is the default: you bring provider keys, RouteShift never resells inference.
