The CLI creates a wallet key, free models answer at once and paid ones draw on deposited USDC, with seller, tokens and cost returned in response headers. Sellers are unvetted and can read prompts unless TEE-verified, the proxy forwards a client's own credential headers to them, and every package is pre-1.0.\n\n**Router.com (Ramp Router).** Detailed Markdown docs with typed error codes, per-model capability data and routing an agent can set per request. No OpenAPI document, status page, changelog or published rate limits were found. Signup needs a US business email in a browser, and Ramp records prompts and outputs for a year by default unless switched off.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Antseed\n\n1. Send a placeholder key such as `antseed-p2p`. The proxy forwards whatever `Authorization` or `x-api-key` header the client sends to the seller\n2. Call `GET /v1/models` first and request a concrete id. The `antseed` alias works only when the desktop app has a model selected\n3. Handle 402 `insufficient_deposits` by reading `suggestedAmount`, then fund the address from `antseed buyer deposit` with USDC on Base\n4. Pass `--verifiers antseed-verifier --require-verifier` to `antseed buyer start` when prompts are private, so only TEE-verified sellers are routed\n5. Read `x-antseed-peer-id` and `x-antseed-estimated-cost-usd` on each response, and pin a seller with `\u003cpeerId\u003e@\u003cmodel\u003e` when the same one must answer\n\n### Router.com (Ramp Router)\n\n1. Switch off content recording in Settings before sending private data. It is on by default and keeps prompts and outputs for a year\n2. Read model ids from `GET /v1/models` at runtime. Ids are account-specific, an unknown one is a 404, and Gemini ids need your own Google key\n3. Use `POST /v1/responses` with a `models` list for fallbacks. Router stops falling back once a stream has started\n4. Set `fallback_timeout` and `provider_timeout`, or `allow_flex_tier: false`, when latency matters. Flex routing is on by default\n5. Treat both `401 invalid_api_key` and `401 api_key_deactivated` as a possibly locked key, and stop retrying on `402`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Antseed or Router.com (Ramp Router)?\n\nAntseed and Router.com (Ramp Router) score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 55.1 (C) and 54.5 (C). Router.com (Ramp Router) leads on agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Antseed and Router.com (Ramp Router) need an API key?\n\nAntseed needs no key. Router.com (Ramp Router) needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Antseed and Router.com (Ramp Router) without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Antseed. Router.com (Ramp Router) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.router.com/v1.\n\n### Are Antseed and Router.com (Ramp Router) open source?\n\nAntseed is open source (GPL-3.0 (LICENSE in the repository). The @antseed/cli manifest on npm carries no licence field). No open-source release is listed for Router.com (Ramp Router).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/antseed-vs-ramp-router.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/antseed-vs-ramp-router.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"antseed\", \"b\": \"ramp-router\"}`.
