TL;DR We are cheaper per token and speak both API formats on one endpoint. Competitors are stronger on business invoicing and catalogue breadth. Numbers below were checked by hand.
Prices and capabilities were verified by hand on each vendor's site on 10 August 2026. Everyone's rates move, so check the source before deciding.
Comparing gateways on promises is pointless: everyone writes "no VPN, pay in roubles". So this page only carries what you can open and verify: published rates, payment methods and stated capabilities.
| Model | Claudexia | ProxyAPI | AITunnel |
|---|
ProxyAPI and AITunnel publish in roubles, we publish in dollars. Even at a rough 100 roubles to the dollar, ProxyAPI's Opus output lands around $76 per 1M against our 40 cents.
We take a supplier price and add our markup, same as everyone. The difference is where the supply comes from. If you want to understand the mechanics before putting money in, ask support and we will answer plainly.

If you are a company that needs an invoice and closing documents, AITunnel or RouterAI are the easier choice today: they have it, we do not yet. If you need a broad catalogue of hundreds of models across providers, AITunnel covers that better. We are focused on Claude and GPT and on team workflows around them.
