One API
Every model your product needs, behind one key.
AIgateway is a single endpoint for frontier and open models across every modality. Route by cost, speed, or quality without rewriting code, fall back automatically when a provider blips, and watch spend per model in one place. You write against one SDK; we keep up with the rest of the field.

What you get
More than a credit line.
One API, every modality
Text, vision, image, video, voice, audio, embeddings, rerank — the whole catalog behind a single key. Drop-in compatible with the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs, so most teams switch in an afternoon.
A real engineer on call
Stuck on integration or planning a launch? Email us — a founder or engineer answers within 24 hours. No support tiers, no ticket queue.
Built to scale with you
Mint scoped keys for each of your customers with their own limits. Ship a real multi-tenant product on day one, not a demo you rebuild later.
Pay-as-you-go after
When the credit runs out you only pay for what you use. No seats, no minimums, no annual contract, no lock-in. Leave whenever you want.
Who it's for
Built for early-stage teams shipping AI.
✓
Pre-Series B, building an AI-native product
✓
A public company website, and you apply with your company email
✓
You're building your own product — not reselling raw inference
Not sure if you qualify? Apply anyway — a real person reads every application. Running a fund or accelerator?
