Ramp opens LLM router to public, claiming 40% cost savings
aakashgupta · x · 2026-08-20
Kabir Goel argues Ramp's approach to LLM routing makes more sense than Stripe's potential move into "intelligence pipelines" via OpenRouter, noting that routing is fundamentally about cost saving (money out) rather than revenue generation (money in).
Ramp has officially opened its LLM routing tool to everyone:
- Cost Optimization: Benchmarked on real work, it delivers 40% lower costs for the same output.
- Smart Routing: Automatically routes requests to the best model based on shifting tradeoffs in latency, reasoning, cost, tier, and openness.
- Integration: Requires only two lines of code or a base URL change; no Ramp account needed.
- Pricing: Free through 2026, with the first $26 covered.
