USE YOUR EXISTING API KEYS FROM ALL MAJOR PROVIDERS
Bring Your Own Keys. Keep Control.
Unlike API resellers who add markup fees, Costbase uses YOUR API keys directly. We add intelligence - you keep control.
- Direct billing - pay providers directly
- Your rate limits stay intact
- Enterprise discounts? Keep them.
- Your data privacy agreements apply
- Zero per-token markup fees
How it works:
Configure your provider API keys in Costbase
Point your OpenAI SDK to Costbase gateway
We route intelligently using YOUR keys

Three Routing Strategies Working Together
Right model. Right cost. Every time.
Cost-Based
Analyzes query complexity and routes to the cheapest model that meets quality threshold
Semantic
Uses embeddings for task-aware routing—coding to GPT-4o, creative to Claude, translation to Gemini
Performance
Optimizes for latency and quality based on real-time provider benchmarks
Cost intelligence, not cost cutting
Drop-in replacement for OpenAI SDK. Just change the base URL and let intelligence take over.
Intelligent Routing
Three routing strategies (cost, semantic, performance) analyze every request and pick the optimal model automatically.
Semantic Caching
AI-powered caching understands query intent. "What is ML?" and "Explain machine learning" return cached results.
Transparent ROI Proof
Show exactly how much you saved vs direct API usage. Breakdown by cache savings vs routing savings.
Automatic Failover
Seamless fallback between providers. Never miss a request due to rate limits or outages.
Budget Controls
Set limits per API key. Get alerts before overages. Prove ROI to finance with predictive forecasting.
Model Benchmarking
Continuous benchmarking on YOUR data. Personalized routing based on your actual usage patterns.
PII/PHI Protection Built-In
Automatically detect and mask sensitive data in real-time. HIPAA compliance made simple. No competitors offer this.

Never Miss an SLA
Built-in redundancy, automatic failover, and real-time monitoring keep your AI services running—even when providers go down.
Automatic Failover in <100ms
If OpenAI goes down, we route to Anthropic or Google instantly. Configure up to 3 provider fallbacks per request.
Real-Time SLO Monitoring
Track uptime, latency (p50/p95/p99), and error rates. Get instant alerts when SLOs are violated.
Circuit Breaker Pattern
Automatically stops routing to failing providers and retries with exponential backoff. No manual intervention needed.
Costbase Uptime Dashboard
OpenAI degradation detected at 2:47 PM. Routed to Anthropic in 94ms. Zero customer impact.
Built for Production
Real-time monitoring, alerting, and governance for mission-critical AI workloads
SLO Monitoring
Track uptime, latency (p50/p95/p99), and error rates with real-time SLO violation detection.
Default: 99.9% uptime, p95 < 2s, errors < 0.1%
Budget & Forecasting
Set daily/monthly budgets per provider with predictive spend forecasting and overage alerts.
Per-provider and organization-wide budgets
Webhooks & Alerts
Send real-time alerts to Slack, Discord, or custom endpoints for budget, rate limits, and SLO violations.
HMAC signatures for security validation
Rate Limiting
Per-key request limits with sliding window enforcement
Team Management
Role-based access control for organizations

Stop Overpaying for LLM APIs
Most teams overpay 30-80% because they use expensive models for every query, can't cache effectively, and have no visibility into spend.
Costbase fixes all of this. Choose your deployment.
