Production keys do not cover the four newest Command models, whose limits are set by sales, and the SaaS agreement lets Cohere share API data with third parties.\n\n**RouterPlus.** The docs are written for agents, every model price is public, and each response carries its own cost. No terms of service, privacy policy, status page or changelog were found. Signup adds no free credit, and the chat catalogue is Claude and GPT only.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cohere Chat API (Command models)\n\n1. Call `POST https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat` with `Authorization: bearer \u003ckey\u003e`. `model` and `messages` are the only required fields\n2. Use `command-a-03-2025`, `command-r-08-2024`, `command-r-plus-08-2024` or `command-r7b-12-2024` for production traffic. Newer variants stay at trial limits on a production key\n3. Keep a trial key under 20 chat requests a minute and 1,000 calls a month, and do not use it for commercial work\n4. Set `response_format` with a `json_schema` for structured output, and tell the model to produce JSON when using `json_object` without a schema\n5. Ask the account Owner to turn off training under Data Controls in the dashboard before sending confidential prompts\n\n### RouterPlus\n\n1. Send `max_tokens` on every request. Without it the balance hold assumes up to 32,768 output tokens and can return `insufficient_quota` on a small balance\n2. Switch on `error_type`. Retry `rate_limit` after `retry-after`, and stop on `insufficient_quota`, which needs a person to add credit or raise a cap\n3. Don't add a retry loop on top of the SDK's. There is no idempotency key, so a retry that reaches a provider is billed again\n4. Copy model ids from `GET /v1/models` or /api/models.json. An unknown id is a 404 and the gateway never substitutes one\n5. Use `/v1/messages` for Claude when you need `thinking` or server tools, and `/v1/chat/completions` with `response_format` only for GPT ids\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cohere Chat API (Command models) or RouterPlus?\n\nCohere Chat API (Command models) scores 64.7 (B) on agent readiness against RouterPlus's 51.2 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. RouterPlus leads on security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Cohere Chat API (Command models) and RouterPlus need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cohere Chat API (Command models) and RouterPlus without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cohere Chat API (Command models) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat and RouterPlus at https://api.routerplus.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-routerplus.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-routerplus.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cohere-chat\", \"b\": \"routerplus\"}`.
