AI gateway unified billing for multiple LLM providers
Standard Compute is an AI gateway that puts every LLM provider on one bill. One company account and one API reach Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax, Kimi and MiMo, and Standard Compute serves every model on your key, so finance has a single supplier instead of an account, a card and an invoice per provider.
Every person and app gets its own key on a flat monthly plan, the plan price is the key's budget, and invoices come from Stripe with your company name and VAT number.

How AI gateways handle billing for multiple LLM providers
Gateways bill in one of three ways. With bring-your-own-keys, the gateway routes requests and you keep an account and an invoice with every model provider, plus the gateway's own fee. With prepaid credits, the gateway resells tokens at per-token rates from one balance. With a flat plan per key, each person or app pays a fixed monthly amount that covers every model.
Standard Compute uses the third model, with pay as you go and spending caps available for workloads that suit metering.
| Billing model | Bills you receive | Monthly cost | At the limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bring your own provider keys | Bills you receive: One per model provider, plus the gateway | Monthly cost: Moves with tokens on every provider | At the limit: Set separately at each provider |
| Prepaid gateway credits | Bills you receive: One | Monthly cost: Moves with tokens | At the limit: Requests stop when the balance runs out |
| Flat plan per key (Standard Compute) | Bills you receive: One | Monthly cost: Fixed per key | At the limit: The key stops at its budget, or tops off from the company balance |
One bill for every LLM provider on Standard Compute
Standard Compute routes each step to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it.
Because routing picks the model and provider for each step, the cost of a task drops without anyone changing providers or opening new accounts. The bill stays one line per key.
Flat monthly plans per person or app, with no per-token surprises, and Stripe invoices with your company name and VAT number. Enterprise features can be bought one at a time or together.
Spending limits on a unified AI bill
Every person and app gets a fixed monthly budget that never overruns, and you can set spending caps per key and for the whole company. Optional top-off from a prepaid company balance keeps critical agents running.
Admins see requests, tokens and cost per key and per model in the free usage report, so a single invoice still shows where the money went. Read more on AI API budget limits and spend per key.
