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**Vercel AI Gateway.** Token prices pass through with no markup, prompts are not stored by the gateway, and budgets, provider failover and per-request logs are built in. The free monthly credit needs a card on file, rate limits are not published as numbers, no SLA covers the API, and the contractual promise not to train on content applies to Enterprise subscriptions only.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Vercel AI Gateway\n\n1. Read `GET https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/models` without a key to pick a model ID and check its price, context, ZDR and no-training flags before calling\n2. Set `zeroDataRetention` or `disallowPromptTraining` to true in `providerOptions.gateway` on sensitive requests. Default routing ignores provider retention and training policies\n3. Treat a 429 as retryable and honour `retry-after` when present. A 402 with `quota_for_entity_exceeded` is a spent budget, so do not retry it\n4. On a Token Pass key, a 403 with `no_providers_available` means spent credit or a model outside the pass. Retry with a standard AI Gateway key, which bills credits\n5. Set `inferenceRegion` when data residency matters. The default `global` may run inference outside the user's jurisdiction\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Router.com (Ramp Router) or Vercel AI Gateway?\n\nVercel AI Gateway scores 66.8 (B) on agent readiness against Router.com (Ramp Router)'s 54.5 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Router.com (Ramp Router) leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Router.com (Ramp Router) and Vercel AI Gateway need an API key?\n\nRouter.com (Ramp Router) needs an API key. Vercel AI Gateway takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Router.com (Ramp Router) and Vercel AI Gateway without installing anything?\n\nYes. Router.com (Ramp Router) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.router.com/v1 and Vercel AI Gateway at https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ramp-router-vs-vercel-ai-gateway.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ramp-router-vs-vercel-ai-gateway.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"ramp-router\", \"b\": \"vercel-ai-gateway\"}`.
