Cheaper than OpenRouter on every frontier LLM
Claude Opus 4.7 at $3.40/$16.96 per M tokens (32% below official) vs OpenRouter at full or +5–20%. Same model, same weights, lower price.
Image, video, audio, 3D in the same SDK
OpenRouter is text-only. Hypereal serves Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, FLUX 2, GPT Image, voice cloning, and Hunyuan 3D through the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Crypto, USDT, Alipay & WeChat checkout
Top up credits in USD, RMB, or USDT. No Stripe-only gate. Unified credit balance across LLMs and multimodal — no separate per-provider billing.
Which credits get consumed?
One API key works for both. Routing is decided by the model you call, not by the key.
Claude, GPT, and Gemini coding models spend the same Hypereal Credits wallet. Your selected top-up amount can reduce charges on these coding models.
Video, image, audio, 3D, GPU, training, and other model APIs use the prices shown on their product pages.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hypereal really cheaper than OpenRouter for the same LLMs?
Yes. OpenRouter typically passes through provider pricing with a 5–20% markup. Hypereal sources LLM capacity from Asian aggregators and resells at roughly 50% off official — meaningfully below OpenRouter on Claude, GPT, and Gemini.
Are these the real Anthropic / OpenAI / Google models?
Yes — same models, same weights, byte-equivalent outputs. Hypereal does not fine-tune or distill. The only difference is the URL and the bill.
What can I do on Hypereal that I can’t on OpenRouter?
Generate images (FLUX, GPT Image, NanoBanana), videos (Veo, Seedance, Kling), audio (TTS, voice clone), and 3D models (Hunyuan) through the same OpenAI-compatible SDK and unified credit balance.
How does payment work? I want to pay in crypto.
USDT, Alipay, WeChat Pay, and major cards are all accepted. Buy credits from $10 — no subscription, no minimum monthly spend. 100 credits = $1.
How hard is it to migrate from OpenRouter?
Change two strings: base_url to https://api.hypereal.cloud/v1 and your API key. Model IDs follow the same OpenAI-compatible naming convention. Most teams migrate in under 15 minutes.
Switch from OpenRouter. Pay 50% less.
