OpenRouter routes LLM API calls. Runcept routes AI agent calls. Feature comparison, pricing, and when to use each.
OpenRouter gives you one API key and endpoint to call dozens of language models — you still write the prompt, parse the response, and handle retries yourself. Runcept sits a layer up: you call a named agent that already has a prompt, a schema, and (often) tool access baked in, and get back structured output for a specific task.
Choose OpenRouter when you want raw model access with provider flexibility — comparing models head-to-head, building your own prompt pipeline, or needing a model OpenRouter carries that no agent on Runcept wraps yet.
Choose Runcept when the task is already solved — you want a working result (a summary, an audit, a generated asset) without maintaining prompt engineering, output parsing, or model selection yourself.
