> HvoyAI
HvoyAI.com (formerly Hvoy.ai) is the primary domain for the Hvoy AI diagnostics platform. It provides API key testing tools, gateway rankings, and comparative performance data for AI relay providers across the global ecosystem.
// pros
- Clear positioning: gateway leaderboard + site profiles + price comparison + API-key connectivity and balance checks, useful for cheap due diligence before topping up or integrating
- Reasonably large coverage (~79 gateways in the directory), grouped by model with price, uptime rate, average latency, model coverage, and payment/refund/invoice policies
- Daily-refreshed data with a visible update timestamp (e.g. 2026/08/28 04:30) and a stated methodology of public probing, price catalogs and monitoring results
- Extra tooling: official provider status pages, reverse model lookup, Codex quota tracking, plus bilingual (Chinese/English) pages
- Publishes explicit disclaimers — 'being listed is not an endorsement' and 'third-party gateways carry pricing, billing and stability risk; top up in small amounts' — rather than over-vouching for listed sites
// cons
- Offers no free LLM API of its own: no self-issued key on signup, no OpenAI-compatible /v1 inference endpoint, and probing shows modelsPublic=false with an empty model list — it does not meet this project's 'callable free API' inclusion bar
- Ranking weights and probing methodology are closed-source, so whether paid placements or partnerships influence the ordering cannot be independently audited
- The 'free tokens' are essentially advertising drops and leftover coding plans from third-party gateways; availability, remaining quota and exit-scam risk all sit with those third parties
- Claiming a free token requires registration/login and spends points, with extra points for sharing — a referral/growth loop
- Community evidence is very thin: a V2EX thread asking whether Hvoy is trustworthy has zero replies, and a free-token promo thread has a single reply; no substantive discussion found on Linux.do, NodeSeek or Reddit
- No operator entity, company registration or ICP filing information disclosed on public pages — effectively anonymous operation
- The same service runs on two domains (hvoy.ai and hvoyai.com), which makes look-alike/phishing confusion easier
Usable as an informational tool for comparing relay-gateway prices, uptime and latency before you top up anywhere. But it does not itself issue a programmatically callable free LLM API, so it is not a fit for airouter's free-API listing and is classified as monitor-directory. Practical guidance: treat the leaderboard as a starting point for candidate discovery rather than a trust guarantee; independently verify any recommended gateway with a small test top-up, check model authenticity and billing behaviour yourself, and stay aware of upstream terms-of-service risk. Free tokens claimed there come from third-party ad drops — do not use them in production or with sensitive data.
community_reputation
Third-party coverage is scarce and mostly descriptive. Articles from WeFound and Veridrop both frame it as a 'gateway directory + price leaderboard + diagnostics tool', crediting its price comparison, uptime/adulteration/latency metrics and broad listing coverage as a good first-pass shortlisting tool. Veridrop, a competitor, stresses in its own pitch that being open source lets anyone audit whether it favours a vendor for commercial reasons — an indirect hint that closed-source leaderboards cannot prove neutrality, though it makes no direct accusation against Hvoy. On V2EX, one user asked whether Hvoy is trustworthy (zero replies), and a promo thread about free tokens drew one positive reply, with the poster openly stating the tokens come from gateways buying exposure. No exit-scam, key-theft or data-fabrication accusations surfaced, but equally no volume of positive reputation. Net: the service is real and reasonably candid about its limits, yet the evidence base is too thin for a high score.

Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: No free LLM API of its own: /free-tokens page distributes third-party relay redemption codes/temp keys via points & daily lottery (~20 pts signup, ~10/redemption); quota, models, expiry set by third-party gateways.
| Plan | Type | Monthly | Input /1M | Output /1M | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier (source-reported) | free | — | — | — | The site provides no free quota on an LLM API of its own. Its /free-tokens page distributes redemption codes and temporary keys donated by third-party relay gateways, gated behind a points/daily-lottery system (per community posts and search: roughly 20 points on signup, ~10 points per redemption, more points for sharing). Quota size, usable models and expiry are entirely set by the third-party gateway, and Hvoy explicitly disclaims any guarantee. A separate developer-facing 'pricing data API' returns gateway price data, not model inference. |

$ Does HvoyAI have a free tier?
Yes — HvoyAI offers a free tier. Always confirm current limits on HvoyAI's official pricing page — free tiers change without notice.
$ How much does HvoyAI cost per 1M tokens?
HvoyAI does not publish simple per-1M-token pricing (it may bill per request, per output, or via a subscription plan). Check their official pricing page for exact figures.
$ Is HvoyAI safe to use?
Uprouter rates HvoyAI as low risk. Rated low risk. a directory/monitor of model endpoints with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
$ Can I use HvoyAI through Uprouter Connect?
HvoyAI is not marked Connect-compatible in our catalog yet. You can still use their API directly, or request compatibility via /submit.

Uprouter runs its own probes; best-effort, not a guarantee. Probe results depend on our network location and cadence — for production, always use the provider’s own status page.
risk_&_confidence
Rated low risk. a directory/monitor of model endpoints with pricing, authentication and terms documented on its own site. The model coverage is consistent with a real upstream, so data and reliability risk are modest.
Confidence reflects how much verifiable evidence (official docs, probe history, community reports) backs this entry. Risk is our editorial assessment of operator reliability and terms — not financial advice.
