Who Empire LLM Router is for (and who it isn't)
Who Empire LLM Router is for
If the following statements describe you, Empire LLM Router is a fit:
- I'm a SaaS founder spending >$500/mo on OpenAI; I want one OpenAI-compat API that auto-routes to the cheapest model that meets latency+quality per request.
- You want a real free tier — not a 14-day trial.
- You're tired of per-user / per-MAU billing surprises.
- You'd run the engine yourself if open-source was an option (and we'll get you there).
- You value boring tools that just work over flashy demos.
Who Empire LLM Router is NOT for
- If you need a logo on a procurement form your CFO recognizes — we don't have it yet.
- If you need 99.99% SLA in writing — we offer it on Enterprise tier, not on Free / Indie.
- If you need a 24/7 white-glove customer success team — we're lean by design.
- If your buying process requires a 60-slide vendor deck — we send a pricing page.
How to try it
Use the free tier for a week. If it works, upgrade. If not, send us the use case we missed — we'll tell you honestly whether it's on the roadmap.
