# AI Token Router vs DeepInfra

Low-cost inference on its own GPU fleet.

**Availability:** 7 of the 24 catalogued models are callable today. The rest are listed at their intended rate but no configured upstream serves them, so a request naming one returns `no available channel`. Every table below marks which is which.

## Side by side

| Dimension | AI Token Router | DeepInfra | Edge |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Headline text-model pricing | Competitive; cheaper on some models, dearer on others | Frequently the lowest published rate on open text models | DeepInfra |
| Model catalog size | 7 callable now, 24 catalogued — open-weight only | Broader open-model catalog | DeepInfra |
| Video model support | Yes — 6 open video models with per-second pricing | Limited | AI Token Router |
| Official-vs-our-price transparency | Both shown side by side on every row | Own rate only | AI Token Router |
| Time to add a newly released model | Within 24 hours of weights dropping | Varies | AI Token Router |
| Per-key spending caps | Yes | Account-level controls | AI Token Router |

## Choose DeepInfra when

If your workload is text-only, high-volume, and you are optimising purely for the lowest per-token rate, check DeepInfra's number against ours model by model before switching — on several popular models they are cheaper, and we would rather you find that out here than feel misled later. They run their own GPU fleet at real scale and it shows in the pricing.

## Choose AI Token Router when

If your stack includes video generation, or you want the official rate printed next to what you pay so the markup question never has to be asked, or you need per-client key separation with independent caps — those are the places we are clearly the better choice.
