Drop-in for OpenRouter, slightly cheaper across the board

We swapped from OpenRouter to CloseRouter for our weekend prototype and our Sonnet bill came down ~14%. Dashboard is rough around the edges but the actual API is rock solid.

Founders are very responsive

Reported a missing Opus quota and got a fix deployed in under an hour. That alone earns a long leash from me. Would still wait 60 days before betting prod traffic.

Cursor base URL just works

Plugged the base URL into Cursor, set the model to claude-sonnet-4-6, no other config. Saved us from writing a router for the team.
