Vercel AI Gateway
Vercel-hosted unified API to many LLM providers with prepaid credits at provider list price, budgets and fallbacks.
Vercel charges provider list prices without a model markup, including when you bring your own keys. Credit purchases still have payment processing fees, and some add-ons cost extra. The $5 allowance every 30 days covers only selected models and ends when you buy credits. We found no documented EU-only processing option.
