No SLA was found, three models moved to paid-only access on 28 July 2026 with no notice, and several docs pages still use a model retired in May.\n\n**Simplismart.** Simplismart exposes open models through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with public per-token prices and expiring, revocable keys. Its public docs give no request rate limits, status page, retry guidance, tool-calling or structured-output reference, and its terms and privacy policy cover the website, not API data.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cloudflare Workers AI\n\n1. Check the model page before calling. Seven models need Workers Paid or AI Gateway credits and return 403 with code 5035 on the Free plan\n2. Read the internal code on a 429. 3036 means the day's 10,000 free neurons are spent until 00:00 UTC, 3040 means capacity, so retry later\n3. Set `options.rejectIfBusy` to fail fast, or add `?queueRequest=true` for the batch route when the answer can wait\n4. Send the same `x-session-affinity` value on every turn of a session to reach the prefix cache and the cached-input price\n5. Keep paid frontier models under 20 requests a minute per model, or 50 with prepaid AI Gateway credits\n\n### Simplismart\n\n1. Point an OpenAI-compatible client at https://api.simplismart.live with SIMPLISMART_API_KEY as a Bearer token, and take model ids from the marketplace or the per-model API pages.\n2. Set a key expiry and rotate before midnight UTC on the expiry date, because an expired key returns 401.\n3. Cap retries yourself with exponential backoff, because no rate limits, 429 format or retry guidance are published.\n4. Check that a model supports tools or JSON output with a test call before relying on it, because neither is documented.\n5. Confirm the per-token price of the exact model in the console before running large jobs, because the public price list is incomplete.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cloudflare Workers AI or Simplismart?\n\nCloudflare Workers AI scores 68.3 (B) on agent readiness against Simplismart's 29.7 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Cloudflare Workers AI and Simplismart need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cloudflare Workers AI and Simplismart without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cloudflare Workers AI has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai and Simplismart at https://api.simplismart.live.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-workers-ai-vs-simplismart.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-workers-ai-vs-simplismart.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cloudflare-workers-ai\", \"b\": \"simplismart\"}`.
