It's the four invoices, four dashboards, four prepaid balances, and four places to remember your API keys. The tokens were always the cheap part.
# One key. Every model. One place to look.
curl https://aibridge-api.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer mb-xxxxxxxx" \
-d '{"model":"deepseek-v4-pro","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"..."}]}'
That mb- key is the only credential you need — whether you call DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, or Moonshot today, or a brand-new model tomorrow.
The vendor-tax you didn't budget for
When you sign up for models directly, you're not just buying tokens. You're inheriting an ops and finance burden:
| Cost | What it actually looks like |
|---|---|
| Invoicing | Four vendors, four billing cycles, four currencies-to-reconcile |
| Prepaid risk | Four separate balances, each with its own "you're out of credits" cliff |
| Monitoring | Four dashboards to watch for cost spikes |
| Credential sprawl | Four keys in four places, any one of them a leak waiting to happen |
| Expense tracking | "Which model did we actually spend money on this month?" — good luck |
For a solo dev or a small team, that's a part-time job you never asked for. And none of it makes your product better.
One key, one bill, one meter
AIBridge collapses the whole thing into a single account:
- One API key to call all 15 models across 4 vendors
- One invoice — no reconciliation across providers
- One usage dashboard with a live usage bar, so you always know where you stand
- One predictable meter — every model draws from the same balance, no per-model price matrix to reverse-engineer
When a new model ships, it's already on your key. No new account, no new vendor onboarding, no new line item.
Pricing with no spreadsheet required
- Free tier: 500K tokens/month (weighted)
- Pro: $9.90/month for 5M tokens
- Top-ups: 1M / $2.99 · 5M / $9.90 · 20M / $29.90 — one-time, never expire
Flat, upfront, and identical no matter which of the 15 models you use.
The controls that keep the bill boring
- GitHub OAuth — sign in with an account you already have
- Per-token atomic quota — hard limits that actually stop requests, not just warn you
- Rate limiting — so a runaway loop can't drain the meter overnight
Boring bills are the goal. Excitement in your billing page is a bug, not a feature.
The takeaway
The best model stack isn't the one with the most vendors. It's the one that shows up as one line in your expense report.
One key. One bill. Fifteen models.
