This looks promising ! I am currently paying 10$ / month for this other service that is basically a front-end for openrouter. Was searching to switch since :

  1. Don't like the founder and his braindead push for LLM's.
  2. Everything is hosted in the US.
  3. I have cut back on my LLM usage by a lot, to the point that I don't think I spend 10$ worth of tokens. GPT 20B , Gemma 4 27B and DeepSeek v4 flash end up being like 90% of my usage and I try to use them sparingly, keep answers, conversations short.

I do wonder what to do about the frontend? My mentioned service has a pretty good web app with decent UI and it worked on mobile as well without much problems. I actually end up using LLM's quite often on mobile as I read a lot on it.

you can self host librechat, or use their hosted front of you don't want to bother but still prefer to use something open source
