api-hub.ai
We built api-hub.ai so you don't have to host and maintain your own AI gateway. A fully managed, unified API for every AI modality, with a playground, analytics, and zero markup on provider costs. See how we compare to LiteLLM.
Free to start. No credit card required.
LiteLLM requires you to self-host and maintain a proxy server, handle scaling, and manage uptime. api-hub.ai is a fully managed cloud service. Sign up, get your API key, and start making requests in minutes. No Docker, no config files, no server maintenance.
LiteLLM is designed exclusively for large language models. api-hub.ai provides a unified API for LLMs, image generation, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and video generation. One platform for all your AI needs instead of cobbling together separate solutions for each modality.
Zero markup on provider costs, plus $10 in free credits to test any model: we only win if you're happy with the platform and use it actively.

Yes, especially if you want a managed solution. LiteLLM is excellent open-source software, but it requires self-hosting and only covers LLMs. api-hub.ai is a fully managed service that supports all AI modalities — LLMs, images, audio, and video — with zero infrastructure to maintain.
Self-hosting LiteLLM means managing servers, handling scaling, configuring updates, and ensuring uptime. api-hub.ai handles all of that for you. You get a reliable, always-available API with built-in failover, analytics, and a model playground — plus support for image, audio, and video that LiteLLM doesn't offer.
LiteLLM is free as open-source software, but self-hosting has real costs: servers, DevOps time, monitoring, and maintenance. api-hub.ai charges a flat subscription ($0, $9, $49, or $99) with 0% markup on provider costs. For most teams, the managed service is more cost-effective when you factor in total infrastructure costs.
api-hub.ai supports all major LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and Mistral. If a model you need isn't available, our 24-hour model addition guarantee ensures it will be added within one business day. We also support image, audio, and video providers that LiteLLM doesn't cover.
Yes. Both services offer OpenAI-compatible APIs, so migration is straightforward. Update your base URL and API key in your application, and your LLM calls will work immediately. You can then start using image, audio, and video endpoints as needed.
