Why Vichar
One key, every model
A single API key and endpoint for models from multiple labs. Swap models by changing one string.
Automatic failover
When a provider slows down or fails, requests reroute to a healthy one, so your app keeps answering.
Pay for what you use
Prepaid credits at listed per-token rates. No subscription, no seat fees, no monthly minimum.
Your prompts stay yours
We log usage metadata like tokens, cost and latency. Prompt and response content is not stored by default.
Switch in two lines.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vichar compatible with the OpenAI SDK?+
Yes. Point your client at https://api.vichar.io/v1 and use a Vichar API key. Your existing code keeps working.
How is usage billed?+
Per token at the model's listed rate, deducted from prepaid credits. Top-ups carry a 5% platform fee and a $20 minimum.
Do you store my prompts?+
No. By default we keep request metadata only: tokens, cost, latency, and which provider served the request.
What happens if a provider goes down?+
Requests automatically reroute to another provider serving the same model when one is available.
Are there rate limits?+
New accounts get 600 requests per minute and 100 concurrent requests. Limits rise as accounts grow.
Can I set spending limits?+
Yes. Every API key can carry its own spend limit, so a runaway workload cannot drain your balance.
