v1.0 — Public Launch

nRouter v1.0 is publicly available. This is the first generally-available release of our managed LLM gateway: one API key, one bill, every feature unlocked on every tier — with multi-tenancy, billing, and a governance layer built in.

What ships at v1.0

Models

The full Google Vertex AI lineup is live on day one — Gemini chat models, embeddings, Imagen image generation, and Veo video. OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Cohere, Mistral, and Meta integrations shipping in the weeks after launch — every new model lands in days, not quarters, because we extend the open-source core rather than fork it. The live count is always shown on the models page and is derived from the router, never hardcoded.

Smart routing

Pick a routing strategy (usage, latency, cost, simple-shuffle, least-busy). Configure fallback chains that transparently retry on backup models when a provider fails. Per-org retry counts, timeouts, and cooldowns. Tag-based filtering for capability-aware routing (vision, code, long-context). Every routing decision captured in observability.

AI guardrails

Five guardrails on every request, included on every plan from day one — no Enterprise paywall:

• PII redaction (Microsoft Presidio)
• Prompt-injection detection on adversarial corpora
• API-key + secret scanning on prompts and completions
• Abuse blocking
• Response scanning

Configurable scope: organization > team > virtual key, with override semantics.

Prompt management

Server-side prompt templates with versioning, A/B testing, Jinja2 variables, and per-template cost tracking. Run experiments deterministically with traffic-split variants — same hash, same variant, every time.

Team management & budgets

Multi-org support with role-based access (Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer). Per-team and per-virtual-key spend visibility. Hard and soft budget limits at any scope. Invitation flow with single-org-per-user enforcement.

Credits as the product

Buy credits from $1. Tier 1 (PAYG, 4% platform fee) — $10 free credits on signup. Tier 2 ($100/mo, 2% fee). Tier 3 ($1,200/yr, 0% fee). Enterprise (0% fee, custom). Every dollar you commit goes to credits — platform fee is added on top, never deducted. Reserve+settle pattern under Postgres advisory locks means denied requests cost zero credits.

Pricing update (September 2026): the launch plans above, and the July 2026 Pro plan with a 0% fee, are no longer sold. Every self-serve plan (Pay as you go, Starter, Pro, Max) now pays 4% of the credits, charged on top, and there are no free signup credits. See nrouter.ai/pricing.

Credits update (July 2026): the signup credit grant described above has been retired. There is no free tier — every account starts with a paid checkout: a $5 minimum credit purchase on Pay as you go (platform fee charged on top), or a Pro subscription. New customers receive $10 bonus credits on their first purchase, so a first $5 load becomes $15 in credits.

Plans update (September 2026): the bonus on a first purchase described in the July note is no longer offered to new signups. Current plans and pricing: nrouter.ai/pricing.

Observability

Request logs with model/status/time filtering and expandable detail rows. Logging callbacks to Langfuse, Datadog, S3, and Slack. Configurable per-org data policy: zero-logging, metadata-only, full-logging, or PII-redacted. 90-day request log retention; longer on Enterprise.

Security architecture (built-in, not gated)

Postgres Row-Level Security on every nRouter table — tenant isolation enforced at the database, not the application. Customer LLM traffic uses only virtual keys (sk-nrouter-…), never master keys. Hashed virtual-key storage; plaintext shown once. Encryption: TLS 1.2+ in transit (HSTS preloaded), AES-256 at rest. Immutable audit trail on every administrative action. Reserve+settle credit ledger means negative balances are blocked at the database layer.

Compliance posture

SOC 2-aligned controls (active). ISO 27001-aligned controls (active). GDPR-compliant. HIPAA-eligible (BAA available on Enterprise). PCI delegated to Stripe. Underlying infrastructure (Google Cloud Run, Supabase) is SOC 2 Type II certified.
