Flat-rate Claude, GPT and 100+ models on one OpenAI-compatible API key
APIClaw gives you Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM and 100+ other models through one OpenAI-compatible key, from $19 a month. Our $129 plan carries more than 11x the monthly usage of the $200 Claude Max and ChatGPT Pro plans, with nothing cutting you off at hour five.
Capacity for Claude and ChatGPT plans is estimated from each vendor's published tier levels and weekly limits as of September 2026; neither publishes a fixed message count.
A cheap OpenAI-compatible API gateway for Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and Continue
The bill you cannot predict
Per-token billing charges you for every character that moves. One afternoon of agent work on a large codebase can quietly run into three figures, and you only find out at the end of the month.
One flat price. The same on your heaviest day as your lightest.
Locked out halfway through the job
Subscription plans meter you in five-hour windows with a weekly ceiling on top. You hit the wall in the middle of a refactor and wait, or pay again to keep going.
No session windows, no weekly ceiling. A clean daily allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC.
Five providers, five keys, five invoices
Claude for reasoning, GPT for tooling, DeepSeek for volume. Each with its own account, its own billing, its own SDK quirks, and its own thing to rotate when it leaks.
One OpenAI-compatible key for every provider, and one invoice.
Flat plans from $19/mo, save up to 10% on longer terms
One flat price, billed monthly, every 6 months or yearly. Every provider included. Every new account starts with a 50-request free trial, no card required.
One API key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi and GLM
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, Meta, DeepSeek, Cohere and xAI through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. If your editor accepts a custom base_url, it works.
No SDK changes, no provider integrations to maintain — just update a base URL and key.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about APIClaw, flat-rate billing, and getting started.
What is APIClaw?
APIClaw is a flat-rate, OpenAI-compatible AI API gateway. One API key gives you Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, Mistral, Llama, Cohere and Grok models at https://apiclaw.biz/v1. Plans run from $19/month (500 requests/day) to $129/month (8,000 requests/day), with no per-token billing and no cap on tokens per request. There's a free 50-request trial, and you pay in crypto.
Yes. Anthropic's own API bills per token, but APIClaw serves Claude models on flat monthly plans from $19/month (500 requests/day). Each request can be as large as the model allows, and the bill stays the same however many tokens you use.
Tokens are unlimited and requests are not. There's no cap on input or output tokens per request and no per-token charge, but each plan has a daily request quota (500 to 8,000 per day) that resets at 00:00 UTC. Heavier models count as more than one request: Claude Sonnet counts as 2, and Claude Opus and GPT-6 Sol count as 3.
How much does APIClaw cost?
Plus is $19/mo (500 requests/day), Pro $39 (1,000), Max $59 (1,500), Ultimate $69 (3,000), Ultimate Plus $89 (4,000), Ultimate Pro $99 (6,000) and Ultimate Max $129 (8,000). A Custom plan above 8,000/day is available by contacting support. Plans run in 30-day cycles.
How does APIClaw compare to a $100 or $200 Claude Max or ChatGPT Pro subscription?
The $19 Plus plan already covers more monthly working capacity than the $100 tier from either vendor, and the $129 Ultimate Max plan carries more than 11x the monthly usage of the $200 Claude Max 20x and ChatGPT Pro plans. Those subscriptions meter you in five-hour sessions with a weekly ceiling on top. APIClaw gives you a daily allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC with no session window and no weekly ceiling. Neither vendor publishes request counts, so the multiple is our estimate from their published tier levels.
Yes. Every new account gets 50 free requests across all models with no credit card. Sign up at https://apiclaw.biz/ui/signup/.
What is a good Claude Max alternative for Claude Code?
APIClaw works with Claude Code through ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://apiclaw.biz. Instead of 5-hour session windows and a weekly ceiling, you get a plain daily request allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC. Plans start at $19/month, compared with $100 and $200 for Claude Max.
Point Claude Code at a flat-rate gateway. With APIClaw, set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://apiclaw.biz (no /v1) and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN to your APIClaw key in ~/.claude/settings.json. Your usage then counts against APIClaw's daily quota, which has no weekly cap and no 5-hour window.
For heavy daily use, a flat plan is usually cheaper than per-token billing. In Cursor, turn on Override OpenAI Base URL with https://apiclaw.biz/v1, paste your APIClaw key, add a custom model such as apiclaw/claude-sonnet-5-5, and turn Auto off. For agent mode, use the base URL https://apiclaw.biz/cursor. At low volume, per-token billing can be cheaper.
Yes, for people who want a fixed monthly price. OpenRouter charges the provider's per-token price plus a fee on credit purchases. APIClaw charges a flat monthly price for a daily request quota. OpenRouter has a much larger model catalog. APIClaw is built for predictable coding-agent bills.
OpenRouter alternativeCan I use one API key for Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi and GLM?
Yes. One APIClaw key and the base URL https://apiclaw.biz/v1 work with every model on your plan. You switch providers by changing the model field. Model IDs are listed in the model hub.
Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Mistral, Llama (Meta), Cohere, Grok (xAI), DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi and GLM, 100+ models in total. The exact IDs your account can call are listed in the model hub at https://apiclaw.biz/ui/model_hub/.
Which coding tools work with APIClaw?
Any tool that accepts a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL works. There are setup guides for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cline, Continue (VS Code), Kilo Code, OpenCode, Windsurf, JetBrains, Qwen Code, Cherry Studio, Chatbox, Dify and more at https://apiclaw.biz/docs/.
Use https://apiclaw.biz/v1 for OpenAI-style clients (Chat Completions or Responses). Use https://apiclaw.biz (no /v1) for Anthropic Messages clients such as Claude Code. Don't add /chat/completions unless a tool's guide asks for the full endpoint.
Why is APIClaw cheaper than paying a provider directly?
Direct API billing charges for every token in and out, and coding agents resend the whole conversation on every turn, so a single long session can cost more than a month of APIClaw. A flat monthly plan removes the per-token meter entirely; your bill is identical on your heaviest day and your lightest.
Yes. APIClaw exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Change the base URL and API key in your existing OpenAI SDK setup and your code works without other changes.
No. APIClaw is an independent gateway and is not endorsed by or affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or Cursor. APIClaw routes requests to models available through publicly available sources and provider APIs.
When does the daily limit reset, and what if I run out?
Quotas reset at 00:00 UTC every day. If you regularly run out, you can move to a bigger plan at any time and the new allowance applies right away.
Can I cancel?
Yes. There is no contract. You can buy a plan monthly, for 6 months (5% off) or for 1 year (10% off), and the daily quota is the same for every term. Buying again while a plan is active adds the new term on top of the days you have left. If you don't renew, your key keeps working until the current period ends.
