Where OpenRouter is strong
- Broad model catalog behind an OpenAI-compatible API.
- Comparing and routing language models.
- Suits apps whose main need is chat model access.
Where app.nz is different
app.nz covers:
- cloud coding agents that work on repos and return durable diffs
- static sites, server deploys, private container builds, domains, logs, queues, and secrets
- one OpenAI-compatible gateway for text, image, video, audio, embeddings, search, and 3D
- scale-to-zero GPU hosting for Cog and Comfy workloads
- one credit balance and API surface across the product
app.nz has a model gateway too, next to coding agents, deploys, GPU model hosting, queues, datasets, and app hosting.
Choose OpenRouter when
Choose OpenRouter when you need a model router and hosting already lives elsewhere.
Choose app.nz when
app.nz runs the whole loop on one account: an agent edits code, the build deploys, model calls go through the gateway, and GPU endpoints run on demand.
Migration path
OpenAI-compatible clients move by changing the base URL and key, then choosing app.nz auto routes or pinned provider routes.
Bottom line
app.nz hosts the app, routes the models, and runs the GPU or worker infrastructure behind them.
