Stripe completed its acquisition of OpenRouter on November 10, adding an AI model-routing service to its payments and billing business, according to ShiftDelete.Net’s report citing both companies’ announcements. The companies did not disclose the purchase price.
OpenRouter helps developers choose models and providers for individual requests by weighing cost, speed and reliability. When Stripe announced the agreement on August 19, it said the platform connected more than 400 models from over 80 providers and named Nvidia, Zoom and Lovable as users.
OpenRouter pledged in August to retain its name, product, roadmap and existing integrations. At closing, it reiterated that models and providers would continue to compete on quality, reliability and price, with customers deciding which to use, ShiftDelete.Net reported.
