Multi Chats is a consumer alternative to OpenRouter, with a flat plan and no API keys to manage.

OpenRouter is excellent if you are a developer routing requests through an API and paying per token. If you just want to chat, Multi Chats is the consumer version: 50+ models in a finished app on one flat subscription, with no API keys or per-token credits to manage.

OpenRouter is an API layer, not a finished app

It gives developers one endpoint to many models, billed by usage. You still build or bring your own interface, and costs vary with every request.

Multi Chats is the polished app

You get a complete chat experience: model switching, image generation, web search, 3-level memory, voice and native mobile, on a predictable flat plan.
