The status page shows live checks only and keeps no incident history.\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### BlockRun.AI\n\n1. Fund a dedicated wallet with a small USDC balance. The balance is the spending cap\n2. Use `blockrun_wallet` delegate with `agent_limit` before handing a sub-agent the server\n3. On a 429, wait `Retry-After` and read `X-RateLimit-Source` to fail over to the same tier on another provider\n4. Call `blockrun_models` before hard-coding a model name, since models are removed without notice\n5. Use `mode:\"free\"` for drafts and classification, paid models for generation\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, BlockRun.AI or Router.com (Ramp Router)?\n\nBlockRun.AI scores 72.4 (BB) on agent readiness against Router.com (Ramp Router)'s 54.5 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Router.com (Ramp Router) leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do BlockRun.AI and Router.com (Ramp Router) need an API key?\n\nBlockRun.AI takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Router.com (Ramp Router) needs an API key. An agent can also pay BlockRun.AI per call over x402, with no account.\n\n### Can an agent call BlockRun.AI and Router.com (Ramp Router) without installing anything?\n\nBlockRun.AI runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Router.com (Ramp Router) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.router.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blockrun-ai-vs-ramp-router.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blockrun-ai-vs-ramp-router.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"blockrun-ai\", \"b\": \"ramp-router\"}`.
