$ Does OpenAI have a free tier?
No. OpenAI does not offer a meaningful free tier — entry requires payment (pay-as-you-go or a plan). We mark this explicitly rather than showing a misleading zero.
$ How much does OpenAI cost per 1M tokens?
The cheapest model we track at OpenAI is Free per 1M input tokens and $0.0000 per 1M output tokens. This is normalized from OpenAI's published pricing — verify with the provider before purchasing, since prices change frequently.
$ Is OpenAI safe to use?
Uprouter rates OpenAI as low risk. Rated low risk. a paid API provider 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. The standing caveat is that free quotas, rate limits and logging options can change without notice, so route sensitive payloads carefully. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
$ Can I use OpenAI through Uprouter Connect?
OpenAI is not marked Connect-compatible in our catalog yet. You can still use their API directly, or request compatibility via /submit.
Raw community sentiment, shown unblended. Votes never feed into objective data fields like price, risk, or status — and never into sort order.

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.

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.
