How it works

Three steps from setup to automated billing.

01

Route

Clients use the OpenAI SDK unchanged. You decide which provider handles each request — swap models without touching client code.

02

Record

Every request is logged with token counts, latency, model, and computed cost. Full audit trail, always queryable.

03

Bill

Monthly invoices are generated with your markup applied and emailed to clients automatically. No manual reconciliation.

Everything a firm needs

Built specifically for consultancies that bill AI usage to clients.

OpenAI-Compatible Proxy

Drop-in replacement. Clients update one base URL and every OpenAI SDK call routes through Viapi — no code changes required.

Per-Client Markup Billing

Apply percentage markups, flat fees, or tiered rates per client. Invoices are generated and emailed automatically each month.

Real-Time Dashboards

Watch revenue, token consumption, and provider costs update live. Drill down by client, model, or time range.

Budget Alerts & Limits

Set soft warnings and hard cutoffs per client. When a budget is hit, requests are blocked before you're on the hook for the cost.

Provider Fallback Routing

Circuit breaker with automatic failover across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. Keep clients running when a provider has an outage.

Encrypted Key Vault

Provider API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Keys are never logged, never stored in plaintext, never exposed to clients.
