Alternative · OpenRouter
An OpenRouter alternative for people who want to chat
OpenRouter is a service that gives developers one API for many AI models. If you came to OpenRouter to talk to many models rather than to build with them, llmwise is one simple chat for 20 of them, with fixed prices per message instead of credits per token: Claude Sonnet 5 is up to 125 messages a month on Pro ($20).
What you might be looking for
More than one company's models
Ask Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, GLM, or Mistral in one chat, and switch models whenever a question calls for it. The next model sees the whole conversation.
No keys or token maths
No keys, no per-token credits: messages left on each model, shown before you send and counted exactly.
Getting work done in the chat
Attach PDFs, images and text files; get documents that keep every version; run small HTML apps in the side panel; search the web with sources.
The models in llmwise
Pick a model for each message; the badge shows how many messages Pro gets on it.

What else is in the chat
Files
Attach PDFs (up to 100 pages), images and text files, up to 10 a message.
Documents
Drafts, code and tables open beside the chat as documents that keep every version; text downloads as PDF, Word or Markdown, tables as Excel or CSV.
Small apps
Ask for a calculator or a small tool and it runs live as an HTML app in the side panel.
Web search
Answers can search the web and cite their sources. On Free, web search works inside your 5 trial messages; on a paid plan each search counts as one more message of the model in use.
Personas and skills
Save instructions as a persona with its own default model, or add skills the model can use.
Paid-plan tools
On Pro and higher plans: research reports (counting as 15 Claude Haiku 4.5 messages Standard, 75 Claude Haiku 4.5 messages Deep), code runs in a sandbox (1 Claude Haiku 4.5 message a run), backend apps (5 Claude Haiku 4.5 messages per started 10 minutes) and MCP servers. Images are made in Create, on every plan.

When llmwise isn't the right fit
If you need an API to call models from your own code, llmwise isn't one: use a model provider's API or OpenRouter itself.
Questions
Is llmwise an API?
No. llmwise is a chat app for people; it has no API and no API keys. If you're building software that calls models, use a model provider's API or a service like OpenRouter.
Does llmwise use OpenRouter?
Yes, for some requests: it serves several model families through OpenRouter and falls back to it when a provider can't be reached directly. The Privacy Policy lists where each message goes.
Is llmwise free?
To try it: Free is a one-time trial of 5 messages on Claude Haiku 5.5, with no card. It doesn't refill; paid plans add more models (Pro and higher plans, every model), everyday messages every day and a monthly allowance for the rest.
Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi, GLM, and Mistral, in one chat.
