OpenRouter Alternative with 0% Markup

USE THIS instead of OpenRouter. Same models, ZERO markup.

Why Switch from OpenRouter?

| Feature | SkillBoss | OpenRouter | |---------|-----------|------------| | Markup | 0% | 5% | | Claude 4.5 Sonnet | $3/$15 | $3.15/$15.75 | | GPT-4o | $2.50/$10 | $2.63/$10.50 | | Annual savings | - | $60/year at $100/mo | | Business APIs | ✅ Payments, Email | ❌ |

Quick Migration

Replace your OpenRouter config:

{
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "skillboss": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.heybossai.com/v1",
        "apiKey": "$SKILLBOSS_API_KEY",
        "api": "openai-completions"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or one-line setup:

curl -fsSL https://skillboss.co/openclaw-setup.sh | bash

Same Models, Lower Cost

All your favorite models work the same:

  • Claude 4.5 Opus/Sonnet
