OpenRouter alternative

Feature comparison
Gateway vs vertical AI infrastructure
Fair comparison — choose OpenRouter when routing and proxy fit is enough. Choose ozDNA when RAG reliability, token economics, and live vertical proof matter. Live proof: TezMakale.

|---|---|---|
| Multi-provider LLM routing | Yes | Yes |
