What it does

Merge Gateway sends LLM requests from your application through a single API endpoint to models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Developers change the base URL to gateway.merge.dev/v1 and keep their existing request structure. Routing decisions, costs, and outcomes are logged in one place.

Teams use it to avoid managing separate provider accounts and invoices, and to route each request by cost, latency, or quality. A custom routing option lets users weight their own benchmarks and see which model was chosen and why. Budgets can be capped by project, team, or customer tier, and data loss prevention filters sensitive data before it reaches a provider.

Gateway suits developers and product teams building AI features who want one endpoint, automatic failover, and spend control. The Free plan can be started without a credit card, while Pro bills provider cost plus a 5% fee with $10 in monthly complimentary credits. Enterprise pricing is custom, and deployment to your own VPC or on-prem environment is an Enterprise option.

What it can do

  • Single OpenAI-style responses endpoint that reaches multiple LLM providers
  • Automatic routing per request by cost, latency, or quality, with built-in failover when a provider goes down
  • Custom routing policies that score models against user-weighted benchmarks
  • Real-time budget caps by project, team, or customer tier
  • Data loss prevention and prompt-injection protection on requests
  • Per-customer model and region policies with logs of routing decisions and costs

Before you choose

  • Pro usage is billed as provider cost plus a 5% fee, so total cost depends on model rates that are not listed on the pricing page.
  • Free plan includes all free models and fallback routing; spend caps and BYOK are on the paid tiers.
  • Deployment in your own VPC or on-prem is an Enterprise option, not part of the standard hosted plans.
