- Bring your own keys: attach your own provider keys and pay a 5%
routing fee instead of list + 20%. Keys are AES-256-GCM encrypted, write-only.
include_raw: search, scrape, parse, transcribe, and embed requests can return
provider_raw — the winning provider’s unmodified payload — alongside the
normalized result. Premium provider features are no longer flattened away.- Receipts: the business model is now stated in the docs, the
quality-score methodology is published honestly, and the privacy
page documents data retention and security posture.
- Sign in with GitHub (alongside email/password).
- Catalogued-but-not-yet-routable providers (Browserbase, Modal) are now badged
“coming soon” everywhere instead of appearing routable.
- Four new tool categories: video generation (fal.ai Kling, Replicate Wan),
text-to-speech (ElevenLabs, LMNT, Deepgram Aura), transcription (Deepgram Nova,
Groq Whisper, ElevenLabs Scribe), and embeddings (OpenAI, Mixedbread, DeepInfra).
- New providers in existing categories: Perplexity and Firecrawl for web search;
DeepInfra (FLUX) and xAI (
grok-image) for image generation.
- Saved routing preferences — the dashboard’s new Routing panel (or
GET/PUT /v1/routing) sets per-category defaults: cheapest / fastest / best, your
own provider priority order, and per-provider off switches. Applies to every key on
the account instantly; swap tools without changing code.
- Four new MCP tools (
generate_video, text_to_speech, transcribe_audio,
embed_text) and matching SDK methods in route-tools for npm and PyPI.
- Per-key monthly spend caps — set an optional USD cap when creating a key; the key
returns
spend_limit_exceeded once it spends that much in a calendar month.
- Low-balance email alerts when your credits drop under $1 (once per episode).
- 30-day uptime history on /status, from hourly per-provider rollups.
- Price comparison pages for all nine categories, generated from the
open-source provider catalog the router itself uses.
- Five routed tool categories: web search (Serper, Brave, You.com, Exa), web scrape
(Jina, Spider, Firecrawl), document parsing (Mistral OCR, LlamaParse, Reducto), image
generation (fal.ai, Replicate, OpenAI), code sandboxes (E2B, Daytona).
- Routing dimensions:
price, latency (live rolling p50), quality — with
automatic failover and a circuit breaker on erroring providers.
- Remote MCP server at
api.route.tools/mcp — all tools in any MCP client.
- SDKs:
route-tools on npm and route-tools on PyPI.
- Prepaid credits with $2 free on signup; failed calls never billed.
- Live status board at /status — the same latency data the router uses.
- OpenAPI spec.
- Browser automation category (Browserbase, Browser Use, Kernel) — session-level routing
- Bring-your-own-keys: attach your own provider keys, pay only a platform fee
- Modal adapter for GPU code execution
