Compare

Routing is crowded. A baseline count is the open ground.

Routers such as OpenRouter and Not Diamond already route across providers. Parezen’s planned difference is to switch only after quality parity on your own replayed requests, then count the saving against your own baseline. That combination is not built. This page does not quote competitor prices.

QuestionParezen
Counted against your own baseline?Designed as estimated, then realised, then counted against your own baseline. The sample ledger shows the statuses. That count is not built.
GuaranteeIf we don't save you more than we charge, you pay nothing that month. That sentence is the monthly savings share only. It does not apply to the subscription. The fee is capped at 5% of the pre-change AI spend of the workloads we optimise (measured in your free X-ray). No spend-band platform fee.
Cost per taskWould be part of FinOps, on every paid band. The sample dashboard can show a task cost. It is not a customer report.
Self-hostWe would open-source the core. There is no public repository and no install. You would bring Postgres. The open-source gateway is designed to need no licence key. Prompts are designed to stay off by default.

What to ask any gateway

  • Do they count a saving against your own baseline, or only estimate it?
  • Is there a month where you pay nothing if the saving does not beat the fee?
  • Can finance see cost per successful task, not only cost per token?
  • Can you self-host so prompts stay on your network?
