Description:
Hello,

I am a faculty member at a university. The university administration wants to give USD 20 worth API credit to each of our CS undergrads on a trial basis. We plan to initially pilot this for 200 students; this number will increase significantly if our trial goes well.

I was thinking of using OpenRouter API for this because of the diversity of LLMs supported. I wanted to clarify on these points:

  1. I saw the Organization option supports only 10 members. Do you recommend we create 200 API keys from one master account and distribute this to our students in a secure way? Is there an upper limit on the number of concurrent API keys that can be provisioned from a single account?

  2. Is it possible to impose a usage limit of USD 20 per key?

It'll be great if this can be processed via single invoice/transaction rather than multiple. Also please let me know if there's a possibility of academic pricing or bulk credit discount.

What I've Tried:

Here are answers to your questions:

  1. Organization Member Limit & API Keys
    The standard Organization feature supports only up to 10 members. For your use case (200+ students), you would need to generate and manage multiple API keys from a primary account. OpenRouter allows you to create separate API keys for different environments or users, with caps, alerts, and logs per key. There is no documented hard upper limit on API keys, but for large-scale educational use you should contact sales for a tailored solution.

  2. Usage Limit per Key
    You can set limits and monitor usage per API key, which is designed for use cases like yours.

  3. Bulk Payment/Invoicing & Discounts
    Bulk payments and invoicing are available through OpenRouter's enterprise features. Academic pricing or credit discounts are not mentioned specifically, but bulk discounts are possible as spend increases.
    "Buy credits in bulk for discounted fees" and "As spend reaches $100s of thousands, OpenRouter can help you find discounts on inference, via our relationships with 50+ providers." Enterprise Features
