# OmniRoute Tiers — User Guide
|
|
|
|
OmniRoute organizes the 207+ supported providers into 3 economic tiers. Each
|
|
request travels through them in order until one returns successfully — you
|
|
get the cheapest viable response without ever writing fallback code.
|
|
|
|
## Tier 1 — Subscription
|
|
|
|
**Providers you already pay for.** OmniRoute uses every drop of quota before
|
|
it expires.
|
|
|
|
| Provider | Why Tier 1 |
|
|
| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Claude Code OAuth | Anthropic Pro/Team — flat-rate, often unused |
|
|
| OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT subscription) | Plus/Team includes Codex quota |
|
|
| GitHub Copilot | Per-seat — quota resets monthly |
|
|
| Cursor IDE | Pro plan quota |
|
|
| Antigravity / Windsurf | Built-in quotas |
|
|
|
|
**Strategy**: route here first for every request that fits the model's
|
|
strengths. Quota tracker monitors approaching reset; combo strategies
|
|
`reset-aware` and `subscription` prioritize accordingly.
|
|
|
|
## Tier 2 — Cheap
|
|
|
|
**Pay-per-token providers under $1/1M tokens.** Reserved for high-volume work
|
|
or after Tier 1 quotas hit limits.
|
|
|
|
| Provider | Price (input/output) | Strengths |
|
|
| ---------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------- |
|
|
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | $0.27 / $1.10 per 1M | Code, reasoning |
|
|
| GLM-4.5 | $0.60 / $2.20 per 1M | Long context |
|
|
| MiniMax M1 | $0.20 / $1.10 per 1M | Speed |
|
|
| Qwen Coder | $0.30 / $1.20 per 1M | Code |
|
|
| OpenRouter (price-optimized) | varies | 100+ models, dynamic |
|
|
|
|
**Strategy**: combo `cost-optimized` picks lowest $/token model that meets
|
|
the task's capability filter (vision, JSON mode, tools, max-context).
|
|
|
|
## Tier 3 — Free
|
|
|
|
**Zero-cost providers** — free tiers, credit programs, OAuth daily quotas.
|
|
|
|
| Provider | Free quota / credits |
|
|
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------ |
|
|
| Kiro AI | Free Claude tier (generous fair-use) |
|
|
| OpenCode Free | No auth, generous rate limits |
|
|
| Qoder | Free OAuth |
|
|
| Google Vertex AI | $300 new-account credits |
|
|
| Amazon Q | Free tier for AWS users |
|
|
| Pollinations | Open public API |
|
|
| Cloudflare AI | Workers AI free tier |
|
|
|
|
**Strategy**: combo `auto` with budget cap routes here when Tier 1+2 fail
|
|
or when `useFreeOnly=true` is set. Free providers often have weaker
|
|
rate limits — circuit breaker recovers them on backoff.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring tiers
|
|
|
|
Dashboard → **Tiers** → assign your providers. Defaults (from `tierDefaults.json`) are
|
|
sensible; edit when you have specific subscriptions to prioritize or providers to exclude.
|
|
|
|
Auto-Combo's 9-factor scoring also considers tier. See
|
|
[`docs/routing/AUTO-COMBO.md`](../routing/AUTO-COMBO.md).
|
|
|
|
## Telemetry
|
|
|
|
Dashboard → **Usage** shows tokens spent per tier per day. Use this to:
|
|
|
|
- Confirm Tier 1 is utilized fully (otherwise you're wasting subscription value)
|
|
- Identify which Tier 2 models are picked most (consolidate to 1-2)
|
|
- Verify Tier 3 saves money on test/exploration workloads
|
|
|
|
## Common patterns
|
|
|
|
### Pure-free workload
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"strategy": "auto",
|
|
"config": { "auto": { "weights": { "costInv": 0.5, "tierPriority": 0.3 } } }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Forces strongly towards Tier 3; only uses Tier 2 if Tier 3 is unavailable.
|
|
|
|
### Subscription-first with cheap fallback
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"strategy": "priority",
|
|
"targets": [
|
|
{ "provider": "claude-code-oauth", "weight": 1 },
|
|
{ "provider": "deepseek", "weight": 1 },
|
|
{ "provider": "kiro", "weight": 1 }
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Explicit ordered list matching Tier 1 → Tier 2 → Tier 3.
