Hi there,

I am new to OpenRouter, and I am looking to understand pricing transparently before making a commitment.

I so far checked the pricing sections for Open AI & Google models, and it seems to me like the input & output costs are exactly what the providers would charge me.

That raised the question of how OpenRouter is making money. Somewhere in the equation must be a commission, right?
