Enter expected native OpenRouter usage. Builder is $29/mo; Team is $99/mo. Managed inference adds 15% only if Strix runs on the platform key (no stored OpenRouter credential).

LOWER ESTIMATED CUSTOMER COSTBYOKBased only on funding cost; both modes route identically.

FAQ

Straight answers
before you start.

Trial needs an OpenRouter key. Tokens stay on their bill. Strix is the router.

Do I bring my own OpenRouter key?
Yes. The 7-day trial and paid plans require an OpenRouter key (BYOK). OpenRouter bills model tokens at their rates. Strix sells routing, memory, and the control plane — not a token markup on BYOK inference.
What am I paying Strix for?
Nine public intent models, payload filtering, failover, a memory layer (cross-session facts, Cohere rerank, forget/export), and Team seats/keys/spend controls. Auto plus cheap lanes such as quick and coding keep everyday turns off always-Sonnet pricing.
Which clients work?
Any OpenAI-compatible client, plus Anthropic /v1/messages. That includes Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Roo Code, Continue, and Aider — not Cursor only. Point the base URL at api.strixgate.dev and use a strix_* key.
Is uncensored or Venice required?
No. Uncensored is an optional lane. Venice is used only if you store a Venice key. Default routing stays on OpenRouter with your key.
Do you log prompts?
No prompt logging for training or human review of your request bodies. We meter usage, lanes, and spend. You can forget or export stored memory facts from the dashboard.
How is this different from OpenRouter or Cursor alone?
OpenRouter still bills tokens — you bring that key. Strix sits in front with lanes, filtering, and memory. Cursor is one supported client, not the only one. Use Compare in the nav for OpenRouter, Cursor, and alternatives pages.
How does Team pricing work?
Team is $99/month with three seats included, then $20 per extra seat. Builder is $29/month for one person. Both include a 7-day trial.
